A new image processing system was developed based on EPICS and the FA-M3 PLC made by Yokogawa Electric Corporation. The hardware of the system comprises an F3RP61 CPU module running Linux and an F3UM02 frame grabber module. The CPU functions as an IOC to analyze the raw image data acquired and transferred by the frame grabber on the PCI-bus which connects the two modules. A custom record, graphicsRecord, holds the raw image data, the results of analysis and parameters set by the user over the network. GUI panels were created by using EDM in order to display the image and to set relevant control parameters into the fields of the graphicsRecord on the F3RP61-based IOC. It was confirmed that the developed system is able to acquire image data, analyze them appropriately, and send them over the network to a host computer to display the results of analysis. The design and results on performance measurement of the system is reported.
