  1. The CMS Silicon Tracker FED Crates Costas Foudas Imperial College What goes in the FED Crates ? What do we do about the VME controller ? What about the TTC fast signals ? FMM ?

  2. The Choice of VME Controller • The FED will support VME64x (eventually) : Therefore we need to gain experience with the VEM64x protocol in the near future. • Why ?:VME64x can reach up to 160 MBytes/sec theoretical block transfer (BLT) rate. Most liekly less than that but still faster than the old VME. • 4 types of PCI-to-VME cards exist:Wiener (indeed), National Instruments, SBS, Struck. To my knowledge only the Struck one supports VME64x and can do 80 MBytes/sec real rate(I measured it in their lab at Hamburg). They claim to be firmware upgradeable to 100 Mbytes/sec. • Keep in mind that in order to evaluate this card you need also a VME64x slave (FED or something else)

  3. The Struck PCI-to-VME64x Bridge • It consists of 2 modules connected via optical link (Fiber): • The VME side is 6U 160 mm. • The PCI side consists of a mother board and the optical card. • Installation • Just like the SBS • Linux public drivers available.

  4. The PCI module • Standard PCI mother board • Optical driver/receiver card

  5. Specification Uses a Sequencer to avoid overhead between VME transfers Supports 2 edge VME Block transfer (160 Mbytes/sec in theory ) Long Optical connection. Also an 20 Km option.

  6. 6U 180 vs 9U 400 mm Why do it like this ? The VME master connects directly to the VME bus. The front panel is 9U VME and the Crate can close

  7. The FED Racks I PC 9U FED VME CRATE 9U VME Up to 17 FEDs 9U VME  The VME Controller 9U VME

  8. The Rack Design Need to get one of these and start asking questions: Where does all fit ? Is there enough cooling where we need it ? How do we route all the cables (optical or copper)

  9. VME Control PC  PC + 3 VME  cPCI Adapters VME Controller

  10. DAQ Connection Run control Rack 14 Rack 1 PC PC . . . . . . . . 14 Racks VME VME VME VME VME VME

  11. FED Fast Signals to TTS • The FED outputs the 4 TTS signals on the P0 connector in LVDS. • The different FED signals can by daisy chained to produce a crate summary or can be send individually to so FMM board. • The merged fast signals are driven to the APVE input and are combined with those generated by the APVE. P0 LVDS Signals: Ready,Busy,Warn_OVF,Out_of_Synch, Error

  12. The FED Racks II PC 9U FED VME CRATE 9U VME Up to 17 FEDs 9U VME   The TTC dummy Card: It receives the TTC signals from P0 and send them to an FMM on their way to APVE. The VME Controller 9U VME

  13. Summary • Get a Struck module and evaluate it but it will not be of use till there is a VME64x slave. • Need a design for getting the TTC signals from the P0 to the FMM. • Need to start some system design of our rack, the crate and the signals.
