This is the latest home of the EPICS ipac module, which provides a standard API for Industry Pack carrier boards, and ensures that drivers for individual IP modules do not need to understand or control the carrier board they are installed in. Also included with this software are some IP module drivers that use the ipac carrier layer.
This web-site gives access to the IPAC source code and its associated documentation, and provides an issue tracker for reporting bugs and enhancement requests.
Software is included to control the following hardware:
-
GE Fanuc Embedded Systems (was GreenSpring, then SBS) VIPC310, VIPC610, VIPC616, VIPC626, (VIPC618, VIPC627, VIPC628 and VIPC664 may also work) and ATC40 dumb carrier boards
-
TEWS Technologies TVME200 4 slot carrier board (TVME201 and TVME220 should also work)
-
Acromag AVME-9660, 9668 and 9670 4 slot carrier boards, which were also sold by Xycom as the XVME-9660 and 9670
-
Hytec Electronics VICB8002 and VICB8004 4 slot carrier boards
-
Motorola MVME162 and MVME172 MC680x0 CPU boards with IP slots
-
TEWS Technologies Tip810 Basic CANbus interface module
-
GE Fanuc Embedded Systems (was GreenSpring, then SBS) IP-OCTAL-232 serial interface module (not the newer IP-OctalPlus-232)
-
Acromag IP520 and IP521 Octal RS232 Serial Communication IP module.
Other module and carrier drivers are also available that use drvIpac, see the EPICS Hardware Support Database for a list.
