Attached text file lists the EPICS PSL OPC channels which are not being acquired while we have IOC problems on h1pslctrl0.
Question to DetChar: are any of these channels critical? If not, we plan on running in this state until next Tuesday 28th Jan.
Note to Operators:
for this weekend we are running the PSL Diode room OPC Beckhoff computer (h1pslctrl0) in a reduced state; its EPICS IOC is not running. Since you now cannot use MEDM to determine if the computer is operational, I've added a ping check to the CDS Hardware Status EPICS. This will go RED if the computer is not pingable, in which case the Errors string will report 'h1pslctrl0 is down' on the HW STATUS MEDM.
If this error is seen, please contact Jason.
Attached snapshot shows the HW status LED at the bottom of the CDS Overview, and the STATUS MEDM which opened by pressing the 'HW' button.
