<h3><a name="el755">The PSI-EL755 Magnet Controller</a></h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This is magnet controller developed by the electronics group at
|
||||
PSI. It consists of a controller which interfaces to a couple of power
|
||||
supplies. The magnets are then connected to the power supplies. The
|
||||
magnetic field is not controlled directly but just the power output of
|
||||
the power supply. Also the actual output of the power supply is NOT
|
||||
read back but just the set value after ramping. This is a serious
|
||||
limitation because the computer cannot recognize a faulty power supply
|
||||
or magnet. The EL755 is connected to SICS with the command:
|
||||
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
||||

serial port server. index is special and is the number of the power
|

supply to which the magnet is connected. An example:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
evfactory new maggi el755 localhost 4000 5 3

||||
</pre>
|
||||
connects to power supply 3 at the EL755-controller connected to lnsa09

special commands are supported for the EL755.

The PSI-DSP magnet controller has been developed by the PSI
|
||||
electronics group, most notably by Lukas Tanner, for the
|
||||
SLS. However, these controllers are now being used at SINQ as
|
||||
well. This controller has a binary command protocoll and thus the send
|
||||
command does not work for it. In order to handle this protocoll SICS
|
||||
has to bypass the usual SerPortServer mechanism for communicating with
|
||||
serial devices
|
||||
and to connect to the terminal server directly. This also implies one
|
||||
gotcha: <b>
|
||||
The PSI-DSP works only at specially configured terminal server
|
||||
ports</b>.The terminal server
|
||||
port to which the PSI-DSP is connected <b>MUST</b> be configured to:
|
||||
115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, odd parity. In general a system
|
||||
manager is required to do this. The PSI-DSP also requires a null-modem
|
||||
connector between the box and the terminal server. Once these hurdles
|
||||
have been mastered, the PSI-DSP can be configured into SICS with the

command:

name of the terminal server, for example psts224 and port being the
|
||||
address of the binary port on the terminal server. This is usually
|
||||
the serial port number at the terminal server plus 3000. An example:
|
||||
<BLOCKQUOTE>

ports</b>.The terminal server
|
||||
port to which the PSI-DSP is connected <b>MUST</b> be configured to:
|
||||
115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, odd parity. In general a system
|
||||
manager is required to do this. The PSI-DSP also requires a null-modem
|
||||
connector between the box and the terminal server. Once these hurdles
|
||||
have been mastered, the PSI-DSP can be configured into SICS with the
|
||||
command:
|
||||
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
||||
evfactory new name psi-dsp terminalservername port
|
||||
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
||||
with name being the name of the magnet in SICS, terminalservername the
|
||||
name of the terminal server, for example psts224 and port being the
|
||||
address of the binary port on the terminal server. This is usually
|
||||
the serial port number at the terminal server plus 3000. An example:
|
||||
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
||||
evfactory new maggi psi-dsp psts224 3016
|
||||
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
||||
configures a magnet named maggi which is connectd to port 16 at the
|
||||
terminal server psts224. maggi can now be read and driven like any
|
||||
other environment device.
