Subrack Driver

This module provides for monitoring and control of a PSI-Low subrack.

class SubrackDriver(host, port, logger, communication_state_callback, component_state_callback, update_rate=5.0)

A component manager for the PSI-Low subrack.

__init__(host, port, logger, communication_state_callback, component_state_callback, update_rate=5.0)

Initialise a new instance.

Parameters:
  • host (str) – the host name or IP address of the subrack management board.

  • port (int) – the port of the subrack management board.

  • logger (Logger) – a logger for this component manager to use for logging

  • communication_state_callback (Callable) – callback to be called when the status of communications between the component manager and its component changes.

  • component_state_callback (Callable) – callback to be called when the state of the component changes.

  • update_rate (float) – how often updates to attribute values should be provided. This is not necessarily the same as the rate at which the instrument is polled. For example, the instrument may be polled every 0.1 seconds, thus ensuring that any invoked commands or writes will be executed promptly. However, if the update_rate is 5.0, then routine reads of instrument values will only occur every 50th poll (i.e. every 5 seconds).

get_request()

Return the reads, writes and commands to be executed in the next poll.

Return type:

HttpPollRequest

Returns:

reads, writes and commands to be executed in the next poll.

off(task_callback=None)

Turn the component off.

Parameters:

task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Raises:

NotImplementedError – because this command is not yet implemented

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

on(task_callback=None)

Turn the component on.

Parameters:

task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Raises:

NotImplementedError – because this command is not yet implemented

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

poll(poll_request)

Poll the hardware.

Connect to the hardware, write any values that are to be written, and then read all values.

Parameters:

poll_request (HttpPollRequest) – specification of the reads and writes to be performed in this poll.

Raises:

ConnectionError – if an error is raised from the lower layer

Return type:

HttpPollResponse

Returns:

responses to queries in this poll

poll_succeeded(poll_response)

Handle the receipt of new polling values.

This is a hook called by the poller when values have been read during a poll.

Parameters:

poll_response (HttpPollResponse) – response to the pool, including any values read.

Return type:

None

polling_stopped()

Respond to polling having stopped.

This is a hook called by the poller when it stops polling.

Return type:

None

reset(task_callback=None)

Reset the component (from fault state).

Parameters:

task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Raises:

NotImplementedError – because this command is not yet implemented

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

set_power_supply_fan_speed(fan_number, speed, task_callback=None)

Set the target speed of a power supply fan.

Parameters:
  • fan_number (int) – one-based number of the fan to be set.

  • speed (float) – speed setting for the fan.

  • task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

Returns:

the task status and a human-readable status message

set_subrack_fan_mode(fan_number, mode, task_callback=None)

Set the target speed mode of a subrack fan.

Parameters:
  • fan_number (int) – one-based number of the fan to be set.

  • mode (FanMode) – speed mode setting for the fan.

  • task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

Returns:

the task status and a human-readable status message

set_subrack_fan_speed(fan_number, speed, task_callback=None)

Set the target speed of a subrack fan.

Parameters:
  • fan_number (int) – one-based number of the fan to be set.

  • speed (float) – speed setting for the fan.

  • task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

Returns:

the task status and a human-readable status message

standby(task_callback=None)

Put the component into low-power standby mode.

Parameters:

task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Raises:

NotImplementedError – because this command is not yet implemented

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

turn_off_tpm(tpm_number, task_callback=None)

Turn a TPM off.

Parameters:
  • tpm_number (int) – (one-based) number of the TPM to turn off.

  • task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

Returns:

the task status and a human-readable status message

turn_off_tpms(task_callback=None)

Turn all TPMs off.

Parameters:

task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

Returns:

the task status and a human-readable status message

turn_on_tpm(tpm_number, task_callback=None)

Turn a TPM on.

Parameters:
  • tpm_number (int) – (one-based) number of the TPM to turn on.

  • task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

Returns:

the task status and a human-readable status message

turn_on_tpms(task_callback=None)

Turn all TPMs on.

Parameters:

task_callback (Optional[Callable]) – callback to be called when the status of the command changes

Return type:

tuple[TaskStatus, str]

Returns:

the task status and a human-readable status message

write_attribute(**kwargs)

Update subrack attribute value(s).

This doesn’t actually immediately write to the subrack. It only stores the details of the requested write where it will be picked up by the next iteration of the polling loop.

Parameters:

kwargs (Any) – keyword arguments specifying attributes to be written along with their corresponding value.

Return type:

None
