Description
This presentation will give an overview of the use of EPICS, its tools and hardware platforms in our laboratory for particle accelerator projects over the last 30 years. We joined the EPICS community in 1993 for the control system of the Tesla Test Facility at DESY, a collaborative project for which EPICS was being advised. Subsequently, our Institute was involved in 2 experiments at the Jefferson Laboratory, for which EPICS was also chosen.
For the Spiral2 project at Ganil EPICS was selected in 2007. In these different projects EPICS was running on a VME/vxWorks platform associated with ADAS acquisition boards.
Between 2014 and 2017, we used EPICS solutions based on VME and Linux and IOxOS boards essentially for test stands for the ESS and Saraf collaboration projects.
In 2017, we decided to migrate to MTCA.4, Linux associated with IOxOS boards for the new projects. This MTCA platform will be presented as well as our evolution in EPICS.
