LECS • LECS: LHC Electronics Common Services • New Service: Offered as well as Pool renting At now, it is either or • Defined by a memo from R.Cashmore Advisory Committee for Electronics Support (EAB predecessor) LECS C.Moine
LECS New Electronics Pool Policy http://cern.web.cern.ch/CERN/Divisions/EP/ACES/ Memo from R.Cashmore (22.02.2000) • Renting scheme • Pool rental (10% average fee) still exists • LECS • CERN staff purchase all new electronics via the Pool • Would start at the end of LEP • Full purchase price is paid, along with 5 % yearly fee. • To be reviewed after 2 years of operation LECS C.Moine
LECS implementation • Started beginning of 2001 (end of LEP) • Not all hardware will be handled by ESS • defined all hardware above 500 CHF in memo • Discussions with experiments • Try to make attractive for users • ESS added value • Contact with manufacturers • spares • expertise in operating modules or software LECS C.Moine
LECS implementation • Service started • Started with hardware not in pool • make case study • so as not to be confused with rental scheme • Audit of ordered material • With the help of SPL • See where we can help • Material to be used from end of LEP to beginning of LHC to be reviewed LECS C.Moine
LECS: Which product and How • Discussions with designers Understand the product and evaluate ESS added-value • Building test benches • Understand users’ needs: • TTC workshop • Input from LECC • Discussions with users. Exchange of mails • ESS Web page: http://ess.web.cern.ch/ESS/ • LECS supported products TTC - ELMB - Intel Processors LECS C.Moine
LECS: getting products • Getting modules from designers (TTCvx) Test on our test bench • Manufacturing by CERN (TTCrm) • Getting components • Soldering (workshop or Firstec) • Test on our test bench • Re-engineering ELMB printed circuit board • Market survey and Price Inquiry TTCvi, TTCbi, ELMB • Company follow-up during building LECS C.Moine
LECS infrastructure • Labels • Distinguishable from Pool labels • Data base • For logistics • Automatic monthly billing (5% per year) • Distribution Done by myself up to now because of : • lack of products • necessary discussions with users • integration with the pool LECS C.Moine
LECS future It’s up and running : your wishes are welcome LECS C.Moine
