FofbTool Module
This python module provides functions to deal with the Fofb MTCA platform. It connects to the OPCUAProxy tango devices.
The module is packaged in sections * FofbTool.Configuration: For application configuration * FofbTool.Operation: Function to perform operation (start, stop…) * FofbTool.DeviceAttributeConfiguration: contains functions to apply tango attribute configuration
There is also a Command Line Interface bin/FofbTool written in python.
To deploy on the RCM, move into dir and execute install_rcm.sh.
Command Line Interface: Basic usages
Classic: stop, config, start
This stops the communication on all the nodes. Also stops Bpm to CellNode communication blocks.
Then apply the default configuration on FPGA blocks:
-
ComCellNode (Expected packets, correct MAC size…)
-
ComBPM (BPM ID filter Filter for each CellNode…)
-
ComCorr (Default PSCID on output…)
| This do not configure Orbit Reference or Inv Response Matrix. This do not start the FOFB, only the communication. |
| PSC will receive frames upon start. Better stop the FOFB beforehand. The CLI won’t let you do that. |
$ FofbTool --stop --config every --startConfigure OPCUAProxy DS
Upon restart of OPCUAProxy Tango DS, to reapply attribute configuration (units, alarm level, descriptions…)
$ FofbTool --DS-confMore help
usage: FofbTool [-h] [--log LOG] [--conf-file CONF_FILE] [--DS-init-opcua]
[--DS-init-watcher] [--DS-conf] [--stop] [--stop-combpm]
[--stop-ccn]
[--configure {combpm,ccn,comcorr,corr,all,every} [{combpm,ccn,comcorr,corr,all,every} ...]]
[--start] [--start-combpm] [--start-ccn]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--log LOG Log level (error, warning, info, debug)
--conf-file CONF_FILE
Path to config file to apply.
--DS-init-opcua Run init on opcua devices.
--DS-init-watcher Run init on the Fofb-Watcher device, and then the
Fofb-Command.
--DS-conf Applying attribute configuration on Tango Device
Servers. This is required after restart of devices.
--stop Stop command for the CCN and ComBPM applications
blocks.
--stop-combpm Stop command for the ComBPM applications blocks.
--stop-ccn Stop command for the ComBPM applications blocks.
--configure {combpm,ccn,comcorr,corr,all,every} [{combpm,ccn,comcorr,corr,all,every} ...]
Configuration commands for the Fofb applications
blocs. 'all' is for all com, not configuring
corrector. 'every' configure everything.
--start Start command for the CCN and ComBPM applications
blocks.
--start-combpm Start command for the ComBPM applications blocks.
--start-ccn Start command for the ComBPM applications blocks.
