TANGO naming convention - TANGO Controls

# 8 years ago
Philippe	Hi, there are several conventions XX/YY/ZZ on how to name the devices in TANGO DB according the experiments. Could some projects describe how they agreed to name their devices ? At ThomX, we actually name elements as following : LI/PS/COL.01 is an element in the LINAC (geographic position), depends from the Power Supply group (PS) and is the 1st Coil (COL.01). Another question is how to name consistently a sub-element of an element named for instance LI/PS/COL.01. It seems to be interesting in the case of elements controlled by a TANGO DS and composed by several elements controlled by TANGO DS themselves. - Philippe

hardion	Hi, MAX IV has a quite similar one [System]-[Location]/[Subsystem]/[Type]-[Enumerator]-[Connection], i.e: - R3-301/MAG/QD-01 -> 3 Gev Ring System - 1rst achromat / magnet subsystem / 1rst Quadrupole (of the 1rst achromat) - R3-A10111/MAG/PSP-02 associated power supply but located in the technical room In general we try to avoid extending the name with the dependency. The controller @MAXIV are usually in the technical location different from the lattice. But the beamline have usually a higher density of interdependent system: - B301-O1/OPT/MONO-01-BRAGG corresponds to the BRAGG Axis of the Monochromator although it is also a motion controller. my 20cts, Vincent Vincent Hardion Control System MAX IV Laboratory

Philippe	Thank you for your answer Vincent :) I understand you may have a B301-O1/OPT/MONO-01-BRAGG and a B301-O1/OPT/BRAGG-01. What does each stand for ? It reminds me that we give the number of an element ([member] into the doc) according to its place along the direction of the beam into a system (named domain into the doc). For instance, the beam will cross 1st Coil of LINAC (LINAC/AE/COL.01) before it crosses 2d Coil of LINAC (LINAC/AE/COL.02). We reset the number incrementation for each system : if we have elements named Coil into LINAC and RING domains, there will be a LINAC/PS/COL.01 and a RING/PS/COL.01. Additionnaly, we can have the same element into the same domain associated to 2 different families : LI/AE/COL.01 will be the magnetic element itself, controlled by the power supply LI/PS/COL.01. I found bit of information into appendix C of TANGO Controls System Handbook (http://ftp.esrf.fr/pub/cs/tango/tango_91.pdf) page 250. Is there some other doc/information on this subject somerwhere ?

hardion	Philippe Thank you for your answer Vincent :) I understand you may have a B301-O1/OPT/MONO-01-BRAGG and a B301-O1/OPT/BRAGG-01. What does each stand for ? The second is not valid in our case because BRAGG is not a type but MOT is (stands for Motor).

Yes it's exactly the same in our case. The enumerator is related to the Tango domain.

The dot appears ugly in the URL of the Tango REST API. Vincent Hardion Control System MAX IV Laboratory
