Abstract

In order to meet the requirement of scientific camera system with remote control, a set of distributed remote control system is built based on EPICS framework and Web service for a camera system. EPICS provides an implementation framework of distributed soft real-time control system based on Channel Access protocol. A single device control program is named IOC. It's convenient to monitor and maintain the status of devices by operating the interfaces of IOC program, namely Process Variable (PV). This paper mainly discusses the IOC implementation of CCD controller, ion pump controller, vacuum pressure sensor and temperature controller, as well as the construction of Web monitoring platform based on Quasar and Flask framework. At present, the remote control system has been put into CCD290-99 camera named PXE290.
