IMPLEMENT AN INTERFACE FOR CONTROL SYSTEM TO INTERACT WITH ORACLE DATABASE AT SSC-LINAC
Shi An, Kewei Gu, Xinyi Liu, Jianbing Wu, W.Zhang · 2013
SSC-LINAC control system is based on EPICS architecture. The control system includes ion sources, vacuum, digital power supplies, etc. In these subsystems, some of those need to interact with the Oracle database, such as power supplies’ control subsystems, which need to get some parameters while power supplies are running and also need to store some data with Oracle. So we design and implement an interface for EPICS IOC to interact with the Oracle database. The interface is a soft IOC which is also based on EPICS architecture, so other IOCs and OPIs can use the soft IOC interactive with Oracle via Channel Access protocol.
