Description
This presentation showcases technologies used to integrate industrial "COTS" devices into EPICS based control systems. Two examples show how the EPICS approach of "configuration over coding" can be achieved through a high level of standardization or a high level of abstraction and flexibility.
- OPC UA is a powerful communication standard to integrate controllers into SCADA systems. The EPICS Support integrates any compliant OPC UA server.
- StreamDevice is a very flexible configurable way to handle almost any device that uses a request/response pattern streaming communication.
Such approaches allow the integration of many different industrial devices using a single software module, keeping maintenance cost and effort low.
