Develop an EPICS control system for a bipolar power supply with a range of -50 to +50 Amps and a relay. Also, develop an EPICS control system for a building elevator, focusing on areas of interest.
E N D
Bipolar Power Supply • Develop an EPICS control system for a unipolar power supply and a relay to implement a bipolar supply. Magnet Current : -50 to +50 Amps + 0 - 50 Amp Power Supply - • Requirements : • Operator enters a value from -50 amps to +50 amps • Rate of change of current must not exceed 10 amps/sec • The relay must only be changed when the current = 0 amps • Readback should indicate actual ramping current and range from -50 to 50 amps • Provide a warning when actual current does not equal setpoint
Elevator Control System • Develop an EPICS control system for a building elevator • Simple or complex model of an elevator • Choose the EPICS building blocks to implement intelligence • Database, State Notation Language, C subroutines • Choose how to present model • I/O Bugs, Digital I/O cards, MEDM screens etc. • Concentrate on areas most interesting and useful to you
Grading • Credit will be given for: • Logical design (documented?) • Appropriate use of EPICS facilities • i.e. Use records where appropriate rather than workstation-based clients • Intuitive interface for the operator/user • Maintenance Information • More detailed displays • Debugging messages • Working model, implements normal expected behavior • Artistic merit
