MERLIN: IOC & OPI for Fermi Chopper condition monitoring system #7820
Description
As a chopper technician or instrument scientist, I would like to be able to remotely monitor and log environmental conditions associated with the Fermi Chopper.
This chopper is (will be) a newly installed system of a new design, and so logging of condition monitoring data will be important to have in place from the beginning of the commissioning stage.
Acceptance Criteria
- An IOC exists for communication with the condition monitoring system
- Logging is configured for important values
- An OPI is produced to display required data #7846
Extra Information
- The system uses PR Electronics 4500 modules, specifically the 4116 universal transmitter fitted with 4511 communication enablers
- There are four single-channel units daisy-chained together
- Each measures a single temperature e.g. chopper pit, cooling water, chopper body and spare.
- The system uses
MODBUS RTUfor communication - Manuals for the devices are in the shared network directory
- More information can be obtained from TC of Controls Group
- It may be possible to test using the unit from MERLIN before it is required
- Ticket for supporting the chopper controller itself
