Current Status: PVSS • PVSS official release 3.0.1 + SP1 • Download from http://cern.ch/pvssregister • Presently PVSS 3.1 is under evaluation at IT-CO • NOT recommended yet • Windows version released (Linux version in 2 weeks) • Most changes apply to the PVSS internals • Some other features: RDB archiving, S7 driver • Also evaluating PVSS v3.5 prototype • Fully compatible with previous versions • Can be tried out in our lab • Includes Qt libraries • Some features: • Same UI under Windows and Linux • New widgets, e.g. TreeView and Trending • Support of custom widgets • Improved GEDI ALICE DCS Workshop
Current status: Framework (1/3) Current version is 2.3.3: http://cern.ch/itcobe/Projects/Framework/Download/welcome.html • List of improvements and fixes on the download page • Main changes w.r.t. the previous version: • CAEN EASY • standard LV, HV boards and special LV/HV CMS boards (A4601) • Presently we are working on the ALICE Box • Access Control • User management tool • Still to be integrated with other FW components ALICE DCS Workshop
Current Status: Framework (2/3) • FSM (v24.1.0) • Logical Units added (kind of light Control Unit) • Improved performance and scalability • ELMB (v3.0.10): • standard sensors used by Rack Control Application added • CAN PSU (v1.0.3) • Monitoring and control of the power supplies used to feed CANbuses • ISEG (v2.0.3) • Covers 16-channel modules • All functionality currently provided by the OPC server is implemented • Valid for OPC server version > 4.0 • Trending (v2.3.7) • Basics histograms added ALICE DCS Workshop
Current Status: Framework (3/3) • Rack Control Application (v1.9) • Monitoring and control of Canalis and Hazemayer power distribution • Racks displayed in experiment zones and geometrical position • Successfully used in ATLAS and CMS • Configuration DB tool (due by end of this week) • First version after redesign incompatible with previous versions • Works with PVSS internal cache and ORACLE • Support of static data and device recipes • NOT yet supported: recipes per device type and device configs • Currently only supports the HW view of the FW • Cooling and Ventilation • First version now available • Configuration done from the PLC SCY file • To be tried out by HMPID, SPD • Please, contact the ACC if interested ALICE DCS Workshop
Future Work (1/2) • Wiener Marathon • Waiting for HW and doc • CAEN • Integration of the ALICE-Box and other modules in the CAEN EASY FW component (End 2005) • Configuration DB tool: • Add re-creation of DPE configs from the DB • Add recipes per device type • Handing of other FW hierarchies • ELMB and CAN PSU • Diagnostics and automatic error recovery (end 2005) ALICE DCS Workshop
Future Work (2/2) • Rack Control Application • Some to sensors to be added, e.g. air flow (waiting for HW) • Proper integration with FSM • Access control • Include access control in other FW components (start Nov 2005) • Synchronize users and access rights in different systems (tbd in FW WG) • FSM for standard FW Components • Alarm handling • Sub-detector filtering and alarm screen layout • First prototype already implemented and performance measured • Applications to interface external systems ALICE DCS Workshop
Conclusions • Many new versions of the components • Some new components, e.g. Cooling and ventilation, and Configuration DB Tool Your feedback is greatly appreciated: Itcontrols.support@cern.ch ALICE DCS Workshop
