Description
Description of the spin-off part for Devices:
1. MCCS-provided stand-alone simulator to be extended to make a realistic simulation of actual h/w providing a thin slice of functionality (suggested to be the ability to turn on a FEM)
2. Work on the component manager of the MCCS Pasd device such that it can talk to the simulator in the format Andrew Williams' h/w/ expects
The Power and Signal Distribution System (PaSD) for SKA Low is being built by Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy. Following corrospondance with the group it was apparent that there was little to no mention of the control system using a database to interface with PaSD. The assumption seems to be that MCCS will interface with PaSD using MODBUS over TCP. A visit by MCCS team member D.Devereux clarified what stage the interface was at and based upon this a series of recommendations were made in order to pursue implementing a functionable control system. This is captured in MCCS-696 - PaSD control system
This feature will aim to assess and begin to build a stage PaSD driver integral to MCCS.
