Containarized EPICS-based detector control system

This example contains most essential blocks (containers) for proper operation of the certain experimental setup:

  • Control System Studio (Phoebus)
  • Example IOC
  • Redis DB
  • Archiver Appliance
  • Kafka
  • Alarm server
  • Alarm logger
  • Elasticsearch
  • Kibana
  • Save and restore service

The framework for detector control is a versatile and efficient solution for managing semiconductor-based detectors in various research and development (R&D) environments. By leveraging technologies such as Docker, Control System Studio (Phoebus), EPICS IOC, Redis, Kafka, and alarm server/logger, the framework enables seamless integration, user-friendly control interfaces, real-time data streaming, and reliable alarm management. This powerful combination empowers researchers and operators to effectively control and monitor detectors, facilitating breakthroughs in semiconductor research and driving advancements in scientific discoveries.
