Description
Porting complex device servers from one control system to another is often a
major effort due to the strong code coupling of the business logic
to control system data structures.
Together with its partners from the Helmholtz Association and from industry,
DESY is developing a control system adapter as part of the MTCA4U tool kit.
It allows to write
applications in a control system independent way, while still being able to
update the process variables and react on control system triggers.
Special attention has been paid to make the implementation thread safe and
real time capable, while still providing the required abstraction and avoiding
performance losses.
We report on the status of the project and the plans to implement new features.
