JCOP (Joint LHC experiments Controls Project Sub-projects Technologies • Participation from 4 LHC experiments + IT/CO group. • Various sub-projects • Project meetings every 2 weeks • JCOP Workshop 6-8 September 1999 • For more information:http://itcowww.cern.ch/jcop/ • Commercial SCADA systems • Market survey • Evaluations phase 1 & 2 • Very Good progress SCADA • ComponentWare evaluation • Building the system from commercial components. • No progress • OPC evaluation • Candidate for standard interface • Good progress OPC Communication Protocols • CAN bus • Investigation of CANopen protocol • Good progress PLC • Architecture • Build a common architecture • Some progress. Stop now. • Test Bench (PLC, FieldBus, OPC,..) • A setup to test products,technologies • Little progress Field buses • Interface to Safety • Liaison with safety working group • Good progress • HV control, Gas control • Collect requirements. Common specifications Sensors/devices
JCOP: SCADA Evaluations • Market survey. • From 140 companies contacted reduced to 5. • Evaluation phase 1: • Each of the 5 are being tested at CERN for 6/8 weeks. • Expected completion March’99. Select 2 or 3 for next phase. • Evaluation phase 2: • Use products in “test bench” and LHC test beam activities. • 4/5 months. • September workshop • Whether or not any SCADA system is suitable for experiment’s needs. • If answer is yes, then which product is the most promising. Need specific ODE requirements NOW
Requirements for ODE Electronics • We need to know the ODE specific requirements: • Bandwidth requirements for the different activities • Configuration, Data-taking, Calibration, Test, … • Nature and amount of control and monitoring data • Tables and Arrays • Which fieldbuses? And protocols? • CAN bus? • Which other buses are needed? • JTAG, I2C, VME • Few concerns • SCADA systems deal with single data items (tags). No support for arrays and tables. • Graphical synoptics are useless for controlling and monitoring electronics.
Summary • The Experiment Control System covers all the areas of control that do not require fast speed (40MHz) and large bandwidth (DAQ). • The CERN Management wishes to have a common solution for the 4 LHC experiments. JCOP project. • Good progress in most of the areas. A lot of weight put on the SCADA layer. For ODE is more important the lower layers (buses, protocols, interfaces, etc.) • In the area of LHCb Electronics (ODE, ...) we need to define what are our specifics needs. Input is urgently needed.
