VME/VXS Crate control Applications
From GlueXWiki
Hardware
We will be using Wiener UEP6000/PL500 VME crates and UEP6023/PL500 VXS crates. We need to control and monitor the power supply/fan base of these crates. The variables include:
- Power supply status
- Fan tray status
- Fan speed
- Temperature sensors
- Various voltage and current sensors on the crate
These crate have three interface which we could use to communicate remotely:
- CAN-bus
- Serial RS-232
- Ethernet SNMP
Our choice would be SNMP since it will not require us to create any new piece of infrastructure to control crates.
