  1. The Joint COntrols Project Framework Manuel Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW Team

  2. Contents • Environment • Goals • Development Process • Overview / Deliverables • Conclusions M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  3. The environment • 4 new experiments • One order of magnitude bigger than previous generation (~1 million channels) • Very complex • Each experiment organized in 10-20 subprojects • Have to run for at least 15 years • Similar requirements • Hardware • Operation concept • People • Teams distributed worldwide • Different backgrounds, different views • Short-term staff • Most of them are not controls experts • Agreement by consensus M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  4. Aims of the Framework • Common requirements capture and analysis • Reduce the development effort • Reuse of components • Hide complexity • Facilitate the integration • Help in the learning process • Provide development guidelines • Reduce resources needed after deployment • Homogeneous control system • Operation • Support & Maintenance M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  5. Approach Followed • Provide a higher layer of abstraction • reduce required knowledge of tools • interface for non experts • Customize & Extend industrial components • Not a final application • Modular/Extensible • core • mix & match components • As simple as possible • Development directly driven by users • Generic solutions M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  6. Development Process Short requirements doc Users Review Implementation Proposal Users Review Implementation Test Documentation Configuration Management M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team Information Management

  7. Experiment Control System Users (x1000s) Experiment Framework Experiment Sub-detector Teams (x10s) Control System Framework Experiment CentralTeam (x4) SCADA/FSM And othertools JCOP Framework Team Framework Design Architecture Working Group Control System Development M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  8. Framework Deliverables (I) • Guidelines document • Naming convention • Colors • Alert classes • Development • Devices • Common hardware • PVSS + Front end access • Mechanism to define new types M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  9. Framework Deliverables (II) • Tools • Device Editor & Navigator • Finite State Machines • Trending • Configuration from a DB • Installation • Help system • Within the code for libraries • An HTML file per panel M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  12. Component based Component repository • Component X, Ver #.# • Panels • ASCII Manager files • Libraries • Configuration • Binaries • etc PVSS system Installation Tool …. Component Y, Ver #.# Component Z, Ver #.# M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  13. Device Editor & Navigator M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  14. Trending Tool M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  15. Framework specific additions • Organization in hierarchies • Finite State Machines • Trending • Component Installation • Configuration from a DB • Mass configuration • Custom middleware (DIM, DIP) • Actions on a group of devices • Extension from device to object oriented M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team

  16. Conclusions • Common approach to build LHC experiments control systems (JCOP subproject) • Collaboration of a wide range of people • Organized in components • Has proven successful • Smaller size experiments (fixed target) • Test and prototype activities • Similar approach in other areas • Collaboration between different domains • PVSS has been key in the success • Appropriate facilities • Flexibility of ETM M. Gonzalez Berges / JCOP FW team
