As an instrument scientist, I would still like to be able to read the beamline pressures once communication with the TPG300s has been moved to a new PLC.
Explanation
Many PLCs in and around ISIS are now long obsolete and so there is a programme to upgrade them, starting with that for the MAPS vacuum system. The plan also includes the convergence on a common protocol, OPCUA, for which there is EPICS support.
This ticket will serve as a 'proof of concept' as the plan is to gradually upgrade other vacuum PLCs and read further values from them (c.f. RIKENFE vacuum system).
Additional Information
The ISIS Electrical Controls Group have a spare OMRON PLC with which testing could be performed
There is documentation and are examples of OPCUA usage on the GitHub site linked to above
An additional IOC and OPI will need to be created
No changes to the existing TPG300 IOC and OPI are required
