Workshop on controls renovation Introductory remarks Hermann Schmickler, AB-CO
Outline • From AB risk analysis to the injector controls renovation project • Financial boundary conditions • Aim of this workshop
History (1/2) • AB risk analysis (2003?, P.Bonal et al) as starting point of AB consolidation project controls proposals ranked very low on risk • CO internal motivation: Standardization of deployed hardware and software to latest standard (=LHC) in order to anticipate the departure of the (on average) older staff familiar with “CPS controls”; overall reduction in staff necessary for controls • 2006 onwards: Exploitation budget defined as 10% of the installed controls infrastructure. AB-CO created CPS controls renovation “to be financed out of AB-CO exploitation budget”
History (2/2) • First inventory of FE hardware and software by F.di Maio in 2007. Estimated replacement cost: 3 Msfr over 3 years, 25 FTEy for the reengineering of 125 GM classes. • 2007 also start of INCA project for applications. • Good progress so far in preparation of the hardware platforms, timing renovation project (white rabbit) and INCA. • End 2008: This workshop
Scope of project • Hardware renovation of:“LHC injector chain”, i.e. Linac2, booster, PS, SPS, + linac3, LEIREstimated hardware cost: 3 MSFR • INCA • Necessary additions: AD (projects for extension of lifetime to 2012/2016) CO: 550 ksfrCTF3 (future as X-ray power source; needs controls consolidation, no estimate today)REX/ISOLDE: to be analysed
Purpose of this workshop • Present the ideas of individual parties on this project • Get commitments of the equipment groups and of AB-OP to contribute to the project and to follow the planning • Synthesize exact project definition and responsibility limits during the renovation phase and for the future exploitation phase (= present AB controls model?) • Verify the original cost estimates • Get input for planning • Discuss structure for project follow-up: (my suggestion: Extend the AB-CO3 to the sector level and have the project coordinated through CO3; Chairman of CO3 = PL of controls renovation?)
