2.0 DeviceControl

• Status-Guideline

2.1 Tool To Access To Devices:

(If DeviceControl is connected to the frontend controller, FESA devices and DeviceAccess devices can be distinguished by the status format in status dialog: From Detailed status Bit 8 the status texts have grey background.)

2.1.1 FESA-Explorer (FESA devices)

To use the FESA Explorer proceed as follows:

1. use script "fesa-device-info -p devicename "
   You'll get a table with FESA info of the device. You need the info on column "Deploy-Unit.FEC"
2. call the FESA-Explorer: /common/usr/lobi/bin/fex &. (GUI will open)
3. select pro environment: dropdown-box on top
4. press icon leftmost ot load model from disk and look for the zip-file. The name is that of the content in the table of the FESA device info in 1.
5. select the zip-file and confirm with open.
6. "Device selection" (upper left): all devices being controlled by the selected FEC are visible
7. select the device by double click
8. "Cycle selection" (middle left): Select the context required for device access. Use "any" (default) for non-multiplexed, otherwise select the required context details for multiplexed properties.
   
   Attention: if you change the context, please remember to confirm by click on button "Change" (middle top)
9. "Property selection" (bottom left): all properties defined for the selected device are visible. Following types rendered by various icons:
   • Command properties (executing has to be confirmed)
   • Setting properties
   • Acquisiton properties (Get/Set/Subscription)
   Attention: Remember to change the conext if you look for multiplexed (e.g. Acquisition) and non-multiplexed (e.g. Status) properties.
   • Configuration Select property by double click. "Fields"-view (middle top) with all defined properties and the respective values (if exist) opens. Everything else should be obvious.

2.1.2 Equipstate (start by launcher)

Proceed as follows:

• select context or accelerator zone, device group, device, and finally the property you want to read/write

EquipState uses JAPC framework, FESA-Explorer does not!

All FESA devices use property Status and Power(if necessary).

• • Status (non-multiplexed)
  • MotorStatus (non-multiplexed)
  • Power (non-multiplexed)
  • Acquisition (multiplexed)

Specific FESA devices using setting properties by DeviceControl:

• MotorClass (Steppermotor):
  • Setting (input: numerical)
  • MoveToPosition (input: named position)
  • ToEndPosition (input: 0 = Outer end position, 1 = inner end position)
• PneuDrive2018 (Pneumatic drive):
  • SettingMode
  • Setting

2.1.2 Prophelper (DeviceAccess)

Attention

Devices have to be online!

All DeviceAccess devices use property INFOSTAT (status) and POWER (if necessary).

• infostat (no selection of virtacc required)
• power (no selection of virtacc required)

• Equipment models:
  • DS (Slit, Steppermotor):
    • constant:minPosition,maxPosition (check min. and max.for inner and outer positions, use virtAcc = 0)
    • posiabsi (current actual position,(no selection of virtacc required))
    • posiabss (current set position, (no selection of virtacc required))
    • slitinfo:status,SolPos,IstPos

• • VVC (Gate valve):
    • positi (current actual position, (no selection of virtacc required))
    • posits (current setposition, (no selection of virtacc required))
    • press (current pressure, (no selection of virtacc required))

• • PLA (Pneumatic Actuator):
    • positi (current actual position, (no selection of virtacc required))
    • posits (current setposition, (no selection of virtacc required))

• • MB(Bumper):
    • currents
    • currenti
    • ftimes
    • ftimei
    • para

• • ME (Electrostatic septum):
    • clvolts
    • clvolti
    • clvoltls
    • clvoltli
    • voltages
    • voltagei
    • voltlows
    • voltlowi

• • MK (Kicker):
    • voltrfi
    • voltrfs
    • volttgs
    • volttgi
    • voltrii
