EPICS is a control system middleware or framework that allows distributed parts of the control system for Big Science machines to communicate with each other in a standardized way for the purposes of data acquisition and control of equipment.
Use Cases
These are three typical use cases:
- Single device integration in a machine
- Writing a generic device support module e.g. standard DAQ or motion control solution for an entire project
- Off-the-shelf EPICS support provided by equipment manufacturers as part of their product offering
Big projects typically have all three types
