accessing ZedBoard PL from TANGO distributed control system

youtube video https://youtu.be/fH60xha-u6o

paper here : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HOfuCSrw6B209dEPM7wvXpxm8jWtyQ9mt2t3AShQnJI

Download a ready to launch TangoBox (64 bit OS / VirtualBox required, 1.4GB)

flash zedboard qspi memory with BOOT.bin

see www.tango-controls.org for more info on TANGO Control system and www.esrf.eu where it was designed and used since 1996.

Tango is a free, open source, distributed, scalable, efficient SCADA framework : a set of tools and API to monitor industrial appliance of any kinds...
Tango control system was elaborated at the ESRF, a large synchrotron radiation facility in Grenoble, France. The ESRF is a large research laboratory (1500 engineers, researchers, ), a kind of giant microscope to explore organic molecules or others and that uses X rays of high energy (6 GeV) issued from an 850 meters circumference accelerator in more than 40 beams lines operating simultaneously. see www.esrf.eu for info.

Tango Control System is a 100 man/years middleware, which aims at the monitoring 24/7 of more than 200 000 sensors & actuators in the facility. It features among other usage : logging, events driven communication, seamless integration to NI Labview, Matlab, Igor scientific toolboxes or OPC-UA plc, EPICS bus, ...

The SKA Telescope (square kilometre array telescope in southAfrica/Australia) will use TANGO. (skatelescope.org)
But Tango can also fit in a raspberry pi or in a zynq SoC ! But it is a serious game...

we enroll in XUP OpenHardware 2015 Contest with this proof of concept.
thank you for reading

Hi raph38130,

Thanks for sharing your ZedBoard project with the community. I read through the paper you linked to and I can see how that is a rather powerful framework for controlling an industrial system.

Best of luck to you and your team on OpenHardware 2015 Contest!

Regards,

-Kevin

    Dear all,

    we registered again a team from the class "Lpro Systèmes embarqués" UJF Grenoble in the Xilinx University Contest, OpenHardware 2016 (http://www.openhw.eu/)

    our project is the AmpereHourMeter Tango device server (aka Bouteillometer) revamping… This device is measuring current in TFL (Radiation Dose estimation in Transfer line 1 & 2) of the ESRF.

    this proof of concept is built with a ZedBoard (Xilinx SoC Zynq 7020), featuring :

Assymetric MultiProcessor : one ARM core for linux/tango device server and use the other one for a standalone bare metal app driving interlock (human safety can't rely on a non deterministic linux app)
use Zynq internal XADC
Communication between cores use Xilinx On Chip Memory
Linux is custom Openembedded.

Dear all,

we registered again a team from the class "Lpro Systèmes embarqués" UJF Grenoble in the Xilinx University Contest, OpenHardware 2016 (http://www.openhw.eu/)

This app is running on zedboard an use Assymetric Multiprocessor : one ARM core for linux/tango device server and the other one for a standalone bare metal app (human safety can't rely on a non deterministic linux app). Communication use OnChipMemory. Linux is custom OpenEmbedded. We use Zynq internal XADC to monitor the current in Transfer Line between Booster and Storage Ring, this current is an image of the radiation dose.

I thought it was going to be some boring old post, but it really compensated for my time. I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will locate that extremely useful… Nissan X-TRAIL, Mobil SUV Paling Tangguh dan Nyaman This is a great inspiring article.I am pretty much pleased with your good work.You put really very helpful information. Keep it up. Keep blogging. Looking to reading your next post. Sarumpun An fascinating discussion is value comment. I think that it is best to write extra on this matter, it won’t be a taboo topic however generally people are not enough to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers Modifikasi Mobil Avanza
