Hey all,
I'm working with EPICS now for several years to develop parts of the
Detector Control System for
the PANDA experiment.
For our luminosity detector we need to control a small vacuum system.
I had a look at various talks from EPICS meetings to see, how others are
building their control systems
and I have a question concerning this:
All the systems I have seen are using PLCs to control the valves of the
system.
What is the advantage of a PLC for controlling the valves?
Why not using an EPICS IOC for direct control running on a realtime system?
I never worked on vacuum systems before, and our vacuum workshop here at
Mainz
could not help me with this question.
Many thanks in advance for the help!
Florian
