In addition to proprietary protocols, common commands such as the standard commands for programmable instruments (SCPI) are used by manufacturers of measuring instruments. Many IP-network-based devices have been used in RIBF control systems constructed using the experimental physics and industrial control system (EPICS); these are commercial devices designed and developed independently. EPICS input/output controllers (IOCs) usually establish socket communications to send commands to IP-network-based devices. However, in the RIBF control system, reconnection between the EPICS IOC and the device is often not established after the loss of socket communication due to an unexpected power failure of the device or network switch. In this case, it is often difficult to determine whether the socket connection to the EPICS IOC is broken even after checking the communication by pinging. Using Ethernet as the field network in the physical layer between the device and EPICS IOC can solve these problems. Therefore, we are considering the introduction of field networks such as EtherCAT and Ethernet/IP, which use Ethernet in the physical layer. In the implementation of the prototype system, EPICS IOCs and devices are connected via EtherCAT and Soft PLCs are run on the machine running EPICS IOCs for sequence control.
