  1. LHC controls • Introduction • Control challenges • Controls • Operations • Subsystem • Laser, Unicos, Timber, Interlocks, Timing, … • Application ASC • Example ROSALI • Equipment Fesa • Example OASIS • Conclusion Controls is not only a diverse collection of Hardware and software building blocks, controls is the glue that binds the building blocks together. Controls Rookie book (Fermilab) LARP Meeting

  2. Control Challenges • Super-conducting magnets • Multipoles, snap-back, persistent currents,, strong dependence on magnetic history: key beam parameters affected • High energy, high intensity beams • Extremely low tolerance to beam loss: quench protectioncollimation mandatory at all times • Machine design • 2 rings, 8 sectors, bits of the ring in common, cross-talk between the rings, small mechanical aperture, large energy swing  large range in magnets and power converters. • Beam dynamics • Wide range of optics Beta* 18 m to 0.5 m • Dynamic aperture, limited by non-linear fields from magnet imperfections or beam-beam. Problem at injection where non-linearities are large and beam Tight constraints on beam parameters • Crossing angles, beam-beam effects, very tight orbit tolerances • Intra-beam scattering, instabilities, electron cloud, PACMAN bunches, ghost bunches, beta beating … LARP Meeting

  3. Control room(s) • Start 2006 CERN is planning to move all accelerator operations into a single control room. • For the LHC will include: • Beam based operations • Machine protection etc. • Technical services • Cooling, ventilation, electricity • Cryogenics • Industrial CS • Dedicated operators • Hardware commissioning • Cryogenics, QPS, powering. Vacuum, post-mortem, interlocks • “Mobile” field control rooms foreseen. LARP Meeting

  4. Some numbers • LHC control system • Many industrial subsystems (cryogenics, vacuum, experiments) • Anticipate 2000 servers, 500 clients, 50000 devices • Programming in Java • Use industrial software components and interfaces LARP Meeting

  5. High level controls • Operational Applications • Application Standard Components • GUI platform / business layer/ thin client/ 3-tier / JAVA • Data visualization • Parameter & settings control • Application Deployment & Management • Console manager etc. • Web start etc. • Application Servers • Databases logging alarms • High level control system • LINUX/Windows High Level Controls, Architecture & Development LARP Meeting

  6. UNICOS project (Industrial development) Utilities OS1 OS2 Supervision GUI part Interface to operators DS1-2-3 Operator worksation PLC programming consols Supervision Real time DB & Archiving No process control actions SCADA data servers PLC process control part All control actions are taken at this level PLC process control Unit PLC Field interface & Process Control PLC Field interface Gateway FIP Field interface Layer process data are connected to the control system directly or through fieldbuses LARP Meeting

  15. Applications - Key Points • Using the new Application Frame • Released in the production area (via Common Build and Release) • Deployed via JavaWebStart • Accessible through the Console Manager • Able to run 2-tiers or 3-tiers • Accessing locally or remotely the business tier LARP Meeting

  16. Applications • Standard programs • Fixed displays • Analogue acquisition, • Logging, • Post-mortem • Alarms, timing, • Real-time feedback loops • Settings management • Etc… LARP Meeting

  17. JAPC • JAPC • Java Api for Parameter Control • JAPC is based on the work done in ASC Layer. • It uses Parameters (a property of a device) • setValue, getValue (sync, async) and subscription PS equipment RDA API CMW Server FWK PS-GM server TT40.BIC, OASIS equipment PS-GM server SPS, TZ equipment TT40 BLM Java program JAPC RDA Biscoto server RDA,Corba TT40 BPM, BTV, BCT SLEquip server Mugefs MPS currents Mugef Server SLEquip SLEquip /RPC FESA New developments LARP Meeting
