EpicsSharp

This has become a very good EPICS library and I would recommend it for many control applications. Currently EPICS has been mainly used by the worlds scientific community. Mainly for controlling remote hardware I/O via a simple user interface, by using EPICS as the universal binding “glue” Reducing the complexity of the connecting network, to simple process variable names (PV). Now you really can have “TRAFFC LIGHT NO1”, GREEN and the device will light up green! The main problem with EPICS has been the lack of “usable” documentation and being very platform dependent on Linux. If you look into this code and build the two examples you can see the basics of EPICS working for yourself. What’s now excellent is this EPICS code in C# take advantages of Microsoft’s huge language functionality. Using Visual Studio the user can use the IDE to “see into” the code, unlike the heavy command line structure under Linux. If you’re planning a control system please look at this Library and help grow the EPICS.net community. I have used C# EPICS for many of our applications at the Central Laser Facility UK (part of STFC). Many thanks to Alain Bertrand and team at PSI for making this code available and maintained.
