EPICS (light green) is the central hub for information exchange that encompasses PVs from the EMBL, PPS, FTS and experimental station devices such as the MX goniometer or bioSAXS sample storage unit. The FTS and PPS have a direct connection to the CS8C represented by the red arrow. StaubCom is a VAL3 library installed on the CS8C that allows the integration of Stäubli robotic arms into high-level control systems (https://software.embl-em.de/software/21). Blue boxes are hardware and software components. Communication is represented by black arrows. |
