VPS-versatile power supply control system

Versatile Power Supply (VPS) Control is a component of a network-based control system and SCADA software with a client/server architecture developed using the Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) by National Instruments. Installing OLE for Process Control (OPC) in the data server of VPS allows access to every kind of CAEN power supply (SY1527, SY527, etc.) that supports OPC server functionality and achieves integration of data and operation. Using VPS Graphic Panels, graphical menus with various data presentations have been created, so a new CAEN modules can be added without writing new code but only extending the Citadel Data Base. The data acquired to the Data Base server are accessible from the network.
