CAEN1527 Network And Status Watchdog

Introduction

On Request of the HADES MDC group a local EPICS based watchdog unit is built to
  1. set and get via network as EPICS client the values of an extra measurement channel of the CAEN Crate (low Voltage)
  2. measures via an ADC (HadCon2) the output voltage
  3. compares the results, settings, and the status
  4. in case of failures
    1. issue a "soft CPU reset" via the external, activated RESET input
    2. redo checks
    3. if still in case of failure:
      1. issue a RAMPDOWN cmd via the modified external "KILL" input of the special MDC CAEN1527LC version.
      2. wait the maximal rampdown time
      3. issue a "soft CPU reset"
      4. check output Voltage:
        1. . if still not Zero escalate Alarming
      5. remain in "safe shutdown"
