SECoP-Ophyd

SECoP-Ophyd enables seamless integration of SECoP (Sample Environment Communication Protocol) devices into the Bluesky experiment orchestration framework.

SECoP-Ophyd acts as a bridge between SECoP-enabled hardware and Bluesky’s ophyd layer. It uses Frappy to communicate with SECoP nodes over TCP, automatically generating ophyd-async device objects from the node’s descriptive data. These devices can then be used in Bluesky plans just like any other ophyd device, enabling seamless integration with EPICS, Tango, and other control system backends.
