  1. PVSS and JCOP FrameworkOrganization, Support & News Oliver Holme IT-CO

  2. Organizational structure • Support services • Useful contacts • News on PVSS and JCOP Framework

  3. Organization Wayne Salter IT-CO PVSS External Services FW FE ATLAS CMS LHCb JCOP Renaud Barillère ALICE ACC ALICE Detector Users

  4. Organization • ALICE IT-CO Link Person • Renaud Barillère • Understands needs of experiment • Knows who in IT-CO has relevant expertise • Most of JCOP manpower comes from IT-CO • Contributions from experiments e.g. ELMB, FSM, ISEG, Rack Monitoring & Control • IT-CO supports many standard tools • Front End • Fieldbuses • OPC • PLC • DIM / DIP • Back End • PVSS • JCOP Framework

  5. Support • Single email address for all technical support questions • Somebody always available to respond • Each case is tracked and not forgotten • A record is kept of all cases to build up a knowledge base • Relevant FAQs can be made for common queries • Helps us to target support more effectively • ITControls.Support@cern.ch

  6. Support • Lots of information on IT-CO web pages • FAQs • Around 100 FAQs available • http://cern.ch/itcobe/Services/Pvss/FAQ/welcome.html • http://cern.ch/itcofe/Services/OPC/FAQ/welcome.html • http://cern.ch/itcofe/Services/OPC/RecommendedTools/Clients/SCADA/PVSS/FAQ/welcome.html • On-site Support • Available from IT-CO • Limitation on available staff time • Used when important or necessary to see running system

  7. Support • Training Courses • Combined PVSS and JCOP Framework Course • Includes material on OPC, PLCs and ELMB • FSM Course • This course is intended for FSM specialists in sub-detectors • Course materials available on the web for self-study • http://cern.ch/pvssjcopfw-training

  8. Support • CERN newsgroup for PVSS • News and discussion about PVSS at CERN • cern.pvss • Users’ Mailing List (in development) • Latest news on PVSS and JCOP framework • Announcement of useful features • Notification of new FAQs • Any other ideas?

  9. Useful Contacts • For design and conceptual queries • ALICE ACC • For technical queries • ITControls.Support@cern.ch • IT-CO Link Person • Renaud Barillère (Renaud.Barillere@cern.ch)

  10. News • PVSS 3.0.1 + SP1 (released October 2004) • This is the recommended version • Several additional patches are also available • Download from the PVSS registered users page • http://cern.ch/pvssregister • Framework 2.3.1 (released February 2005) • http://cern.ch/itcobe/Projects/Framework/Download/welcome.html • List of improvements and fixes on the download page • Next release March 2005

  11. Framework Functionality • Components to control hardware • CAEN, Wiener, Analog/Digital, etc. • Configs component • Panels and libraries to set up alerts, archiving, peripheral address etc. • Library functions can be reused by anyone • Tools • FSM, Trending etc. • Trending provides customizable display of values • Documentation of panels and libraries

  12. Latest Major Features • New framework functionality • Mass configuration • Configuration Database • Looking for user feedback • Upgraded FSM • Including requests from ALICE & CMS • New PVSS functionality • Oracle archiving • Peter is already using it • Discuss usage with ALICE ACC

  13. Major Framework Enhancements • CAEN Easy System (May 2005) • Histograms in the Trending Tool (March 2005) • Performance assessment of Configuration DB (Q1 2005) • Access Control (Q2 2005) • Alarm Handling Prototype (April 2005) • Sub-detector filtering and alarm screen layout • Data exchange applications for external systems • Magnet Control System • Cooling & Ventilation • And others… • Predefined FSM types for framework devices
