Control Software Framework ECSF for Experiment Based on CORBA and Agent

Abstract:

The control system for Inertia Confinement Fusion (ICF) experiment facility is based on a scalable software framework and can implement centralized control of thousands of devices and roboticized experiment processes. Experiment Control Software Framework (ECSF) is the control software framework specially for large-scale experiment facility, colligating advantages of CORBA and Agent. By the reuse at the system level, control software can be fleetly constructed. Software device Agent based on OOD is the base of framework. Centralized manager and common module implement events, alerts, reservations, logging, data archive, flow and arithmetic management. Several connection managements are also provided for the member of the framework. Taking patch energy subsystem as an example, the instantiation of the framework is introduced to validate the feasibility and validity of ECSF.
