JCOP (Joint Controls Project): Some years ago the 4 LHC experiments decided to try to do as much as possible in common for building their respective DCS system 1.)Use commercial hard- and software components where possible to economise manpower for development and maintenance as industry is doing it everywhere Basic ideas: 09/2001 10 Wolfgang Funk -CERN CMS
Basic ideas (cont.): 2.) use one unique system for all controls within each experiment, which implies that system is • scalable • hierachical • partionable (easily integratable) • modular • open to outside (extensible) 09/2001 11 Wolfgang Funk -CERN CMS
Functions of a SCADA system: (Supervisory controls and data acquisition) • HMI • Logging and archiving • Handles distribution and redundancy • Report generation • Automation (scripting, recipes, ..), FSM added • Access control • Alarms • Trending • … After intensive evaluation, the four LHC experiments selected PVSSII, market is rapidly evolving 09/2001 12 Wolfgang Funk -CERN CMS
PVSSII (1): • Device oriented (structure of data, graphical representation) • All data + configuration is stored in “objects”, which are accessible through scripts, template panels and API, therefore complete control from outside possible • Mix and match of operation systems (NT, Linux, HPUX) • Complex devices built up out of several “objects” • Event driven • Network access (with special software installed) • Actions e.g. when value above threshold (call back feature) • We have connected a FSM to product • “C” is scripting language (next version VB, Java-scripting) 09/2001 13 Wolfgang Funk -CERN CMS
PVSSII (2): • System of systems (distributed, hierarchical, partitioned), therefore no limits of number of procs to build up system • All panels are ASCII files (can generate them algorithmically) • Alarm grouping • Changes can be done online (scripting language is interpreted) • Timestamps 09/2001 14 Wolfgang Funk -CERN CMS

What are the Benefits of SCADA? • Standard framework « homogeneous system (with engineering) • Support for large distributed systems (networking + redundancy) • Follow evolution of market • Buffering against technology changes, Operating Systems, platforms, etc. • Saving of Development Effort (50-100 man-years) • Stability and maturity • Experience of companies built into products • Support and maintenance, including documentation and training • Reduction of work for the sub-detector teams 09/2001 16 Wolfgang Funk -CERN CMS
What are Engineering Tasks? • Templates, symbols libraries, e.g. power supply, rack, etc. • Guidelines on use of colours, fonts, page layout, naming, ... • Guidelines on partitioning • Guidelines for alarm priority levels, access control levels, etc. • Model standard device behaviour • Definition of system architecture (distribution of functionality) • Development of configuration tools 09/2001 Wolfgang Funk -CERN CMS 17
Framework: Finally: All templates, standard elements and functions in order to build a homogeneous supervision system. 1.Version: • Finite state machine (SMI) • DIM interface • CAEN PS (127,527,1527) interface • Generic analog and digital channels • Hierarchy • External alarm handling • ELMB Interface to PVSSII • Configuration utilities for all above 9/2001 18 Wolfgang Funk -CERN CMS

DIM-Distributed Information Management system • Communication System - main features: • Services • Sets of data (any type or size), identified by a name • Publish/Subscribe Mechanism • Servers publish Services. • Clients subscribe to Services (and send Commands) • Services can be received at regular intervals or on change • Transparency • Name service • Client Server connections are automatically (re)established • Clients do not need to know where their servers are • Clients and Servers can move from one machine to another. • Available on multiple (mixed) environments: • Unix , Linux, Windows NT, VMS, some Real-time Oss • DIM client/server available in “C”, C++ and Delphi (Kylix) 09/2001 Wolfgang Funk - CMS 22
Interface between custom s/w and PVSS simulator debugger PVSSII PVSSII API DIM DIM H/W Custom s/w -DIM is supported and will not change, when new PVSSII versions arrive, customs s/w would not be affected (buffer!) -work naturally separated, debugging of both sides independently possible 09/2001 Wolfgang Funk - CMS 23
Fieldbuses CERN recommends and supports 3 fieldbuses: CAN-bus with the protocol CANOPEN (simple, flexible) Profibus with the protocol Profibus DP (a lot of actuators available) Worldfip (deterministic, mostly for accelerators, big data rate) 09/2001 Wolfgang Funk - CMS 24
PLCs • Front end computer • Reliable, used in industry • Specific standardised program languages • Used in distributed control • Communication PLC - device: fieldbus PLC - PLC: fieldbus, ethernet PLC - SCADA: fieldbus, ethernet CERN recommends to use PLCs from 2 companies (Siemens, Schneider), CERN support 09/2001 Wolfgang Funk - CMS 25
Sensors and actuators We try to standardize sensors and actuators in the field of: • T-measurement • Humidity sensors • Valves, gas mixers etc. • Radiation measurements • Strain gauges • ... They have to work in difficult environment: radiation, magnet field 09/2001 Wolfgang Funk - CMS 26

Milestones and future for DCS 2006 integration, full system ready (3/06) 2004 engineering, individual subdetectors build up their . subdetector DCS, GIF and later H2 should be used to 2001 test DCS in real environment, ready to use in UXC (7/04) and in USC (10/04) } • Most of the subdetector groups have started to use PVSSII for testing • the pieces of the detectors, where procedures will be reused in the • final experiment. • Test beams are essential for development of DCS and provide rigorous • testing ground in order to demonstrate that the concept works. • Almost everything has to be ready when detectors are put together on • surface 09/2001 37 Wolfgang Funk -CERN CMS
Milestones and future for DCS (2) • All what is needed for DCS by more than 1 LHC experiment should be developed and maintained in common within a CERN activity. • Architecture is fully modular, development of control of all devices can be done individually and finally put together to a big system (development of individual vertical slices). • Structure of DCS system will be completely scalable, therefore, if control of 1 device of certain kind works, control of n devices works. 9/2001 38 Wolfgang Funk -CERN CMS
