All our new IOCs are running in Compact PCI
CPU:

-------

We have tested several CPUs and many of them failed running the
redundancy communication on the second Ethernet.

We have now selected one CPU which is running very stable:

For high CPU load - but with active cooling:

Application: Redundant cryo IOC >= 2000 records

Kontron type CP307
We will test next week:

For medium CPU load without active (fan) cooling:

Application: Small redundant IOSs; communication with PLCs on the second
Ethernet; any other EPICS IOC

Kontron type CP305 (Atom processor)
Both CPUs with latest vxWorks BSP.

Both CPUs come with several different options - like rear I/O etc.

The advantage of the CP305 is that not only the power consumption is low
- also the price is attractive.

For now we are only running a (up to four) Profibus boards from Softing
in the crates - with full redundancy support on the Profibus (special
firmware from Softing). - No direct I/O

Crates:

---------

We have a set of new creates designed by DESY - implemented by ELMA in
Germany
DIN-Rail: (IOC in the field - can be mounted on DIN-rail)
Dual power supply four slot cPCI
19" (redundant IOC)
2X dual power and four cPCI
19" (multi slot)
1X dual power eight slot cPCI
