It introduces the device data model to EPICS and eases integration of alien control protocols. This paper focuses on the integration of the Sample Environment Communication Protocol (SECoP) into the ophyd layer, enabling seamless incorporation of sample environment hardware into beamline experiments at photon and neutron sources. The SECoP integration was designed to have a simple interface and provide plug-and-play functionality while preserving all metadata and structural information about the controlled hardware. Leveraging the self-describing characteristics of SECoP, automatic generation and configuration of ophyd devices is facilitated upon connecting to a Sample Environment Control (SEC) node. This work builds upon a modified SECoP-client provided by the Frappy framework, intended for programming SEC nodes with a SECoP interface. This paper presents an overview of the architecture and implementation of the ophyd-SECoP integration and includes examples for better understanding.
