16. CSBS - Control System Breakdown Structure

Rosemary Waghorn (Australian Synchrotron)

Upcoming and Current Developments

Full presentation (15 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A)

At the Australian Synchrotron we use a tool to allow entry of the operational area controls system structure which includes both the assembly and control hierarchies. This tool also includes auto generate of component (devices, controllers, hosts, IOCs) names, and API endpoints that can be used by other applications.

7. Automatically generated engineering GUIs

Andraz Pozar (Australian Synchrotron)

28/05/2021, 13:40

User Interfaces

Full presentation (15 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A)

At the Australian Synchrotron we will use a combination of tools to capture the operational area controls system structure and from it generate engineering GUIs for that area at a click of a button.

6. Physics Instrumentation Engineers of Australia - Let's Collaborate More!

Miscellaneous

Full presentation (15 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A)

Having been engaged in the development of radio telescopes, neutron facilities, and optical and infrared astronomy facilities, I can't help observe that many of the engineering building blocks are precisely the same. At the same time I see that, in practice, so few of the instrumentation engineers in Australia have the opportunity to share experiences with, or learn lessons from counterparts...

17. Docker for Beamline Controls

Stephen Mudie (ANSTO)

Emerging Technologies

Full presentation (15 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A)

The SAXS/WAXS beamline at the Australian Synchrotron has been successfully using docker containers to run epics IOCs, including Galil motor controllers and GigE video cameras, since 2016. This system has proved extremely reliable, easy to maintain, and self documenting. The current system uses Docker Swarm for High Availability/Redundancy, and where possible reuses docker images for multiple...

14. Machine Vision Applications

Matthew Rees (ANSTO)

28/05/2021, 15:10

Upcoming and Current Developments

Full presentation (15 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A)

At the Centre for Accelerator Science (CAS) in ANSTO Lucas Heights, we have recently been evaluating solutions incorporating the use of Machine Vision as a tool for improving our systems and operations.
This talk will provide a brief introduction to Machine Vision and its applications in general industry. We will discuss how Machine Vision has been used previously here at CAS and explore its...
