Datapoints that correspond to hardware modules (channels, boards, crates, branch controllers, mainframe) • Datapoints that correspond to the chambers • Internal datapoints • for the FSM • for the OPC Server (communication with hardware) • for the RDB manager (archiving of datapoint elements) Alarms are activated for the datapoints and their elements PVSS datapoints Eleni Mountricha NTUA
One FSM tree is implemented for each partition • Hierarchy is set for the parts of the system (nodes and their children) • Commands and states propagate correctly FSM trees Eleni Mountricha NTUA

Present status of PS system Eleni Mountricha NTUA
Most chambers are incorporated in the system having LV modules (9 modules missing) • HV modules for almost all chambers in sectors 1-12 Barrel Eleni Mountricha NTUA
Both Big Wheels and Small Wheels (one for each side) are incorporated to the system having both LV and HV modules • Chambers in the Outer layer in side C are also incorporated in the system but most LV modules are missing Endcaps Eleni Mountricha NTUA
Conclusion Eleni Mountricha NTUA
PS DCS system is in use for the MDTs • Improvements are made in the PVSS/FSM part of the system to achieve higher stability of the system • Development is implemented concerning expert panels to achieve more efficient control of the system • MDT PS from the HV/LV modules’ point of view are reaching their completion Eleni Mountricha NTUA
