I've written an EPICS IOC which reads the smart Geist rack power strips and records their current draw in Amps.

CDS racks in the MSR and end stations have two verically mounted, full height, power strips. Most MSR racks have a UPS power strip and a facilities power strip. Rack mount servers with dual redundant power supplies are connect to each power strip for fault tolerance. The MSR exceptions are racks 01 (fiber rack, has a single APC power strip) and the front end racks 03, 04 which have 3-phase power strips with no network connection. Front end computers are not UPS powered because their IO Chassis are also not UPS powered.

The end station racks have two power strips, but they are both on technical power, there are no FE UPS units in the outbuidings.

I have created an MEDM called H1CDS_PWR_STRIP.adl, it can be opened from the CDS pulldown on the SITEMAP.

The IOC calculates the total rack current draw, which is displayed in the circle. UPS power strips are denoted by their orange background.

Attached photograph shows a typical power strip configuration at the rear of a CDS rack, with the UPS strip using keyed outlets to prevent accidental connection to non-UPS outlets.
