Controls State of PS-SPS
What changes have been made that will affect PS SPS
Operation, application SW, timing and sequencing.
What actions have been undertaken to ensure that we
can restart PS and SPS correctly?
Any other issues related to the very long stop

List of operational changes [end04-startup06]
General changes (CCC, Central timing)
State of Controls Infrastructure for PS
SPS Controls Issues
Notes: -Unless specific reason, we avoid speaking of PSB,
Isolde/REX, LEIR/Lin3 which have been running last year
-no systematic mention of Eq groups controls work
-Normal CO shutdown work (crate maintenance, basic sw
upgrade) is not mentioned – but has its own impact!

Sources of controls change








Move to CCC (indirect impact only ; for direct, see
CCC presentation)
Evolution of Central timing & new timing hw
Evolution of FE Controls (FESA, harmonisation)
New application frame (Console Mgr and generic
applications)
LASER alarm
OASIS analog signal observation
Adapt generic tools to above changes
Machine changes (e.g CNGS)

General changes

Moving to CCC =>


More need of remote access (analog signals, reset actions,..)
Timing:




Central timing works now from MNR, will migrate to CCR
Strong architectural change of central timing (multiple MTGs
communicating via reflective memory)
1 MTG remains in MNR (for CTF) and External Conditions
New timing receivers (CTRx)

•Only one MW Server
•LHC MTG independent
•Master/Slave switch simple
LHC1
•MCR interlock transport, solved
•Great location flexibility
64Mb
•Much higher reliability
•Synchronization easy
Middle ware
•All M/S switch combinations possible
•EM Access simple
•One sets of equipments
•Can reboot without disturbing other systems

PS Infrastructure Basis
As close as possible from 2004:

DataBase



Directory Services




X-Motif Wset/Knobs
Java Common Console Manager (tests then move if demand)
PS Alarm Tree


Startup ‘a la SL’ stored in DB
Cmw server
Console Manager


Version for PS Java (-> existing Java applics) + Version for JAPC
Front-End Equipment via GM (+limited FESA)


OracleForms replaced by Web interfaces
No more Data Entry support (Monique L.): need Change History + some
CO support to Eq groups
LASER tree in parallel (tests+FESA devices)
Timing Library (tg8-compatible)

SPS changes on CO side

Timing moved to PS Style










RF Faraday Cage rebuild
use of PS-Style GUIs with a simple archive/ reference server using a
small part of the existing LSA code and database tables.
New HW Interlocks (CNGS, TT60…) : BIC crates,
Safe Beam Flag
SSIS (with CCC dedicated HW)
ROCS adapted with FESA interface
Upgrade old LynxOS systems to v4: GPSBAx,NA..
Linux consoles (no X-term or Windows)
Legacy Applications move to LSA (Ring Controls)
+ applic changes due to FESA (BDI,BT)
Multi-Cycle Logging (Statistics)

Applications (PS side)




Generic: X-MOTIF CMgr & Wset/Knobs as basis
Generic Java Wset/Knobs version usable with
Common Console Manager
Library changes (DB, Timing) but compatible
Specific PS Java Applications should work -(to be
tested by OP responsibles, as done for PSB)

Other Operation tools

OASIS replaces NAOS at startup




Data migrated from NAOS; 1 more PS crate for MD (cPCI)
2 trigger crates (1 for LEIR/Lin3; 1 for Lin2/PSB/PS/AD)
Switchover to Backup NAOS still possible if pbs
LASER


Needed for FESA devices
As parallel solution to PS Alarm Tree

Other Operation Tools

EQPSurvey (OP) maintained until shot-by-shot
logging solution

TIMDIAG (CO): remade operational

New Windows Passerelle

Issues

Backward compatibility


Exploitation





FESA/GM, Console Mgrs, Alarms…
Piquet service for PS Complex (3 new team members)
On-call experts for SPS
OP and CO should agree on more coherent target during 2006
CNIC
PS Console Manager

Move to CCM during run – not decision of CO-TC, impact to be
estimated first… if required by OP
Upgrade of Orphan applications:

CPS Complex Beam statistics?


Should move to SPS method but with OP resources?
Otherwise (if kept) needs CO resources also unidentified

Conclusion
With limited CO resources, management decision was to keep
injector controls as stable as possible (no big-bang) to limit
conversion efforts until after LHC startup
=> Must accept to keep ‘legacy’ running and not fully
homogeneous operation tools across all machines
(R.Steerenberg, OP Days):
The 2006 start-up will be challenging for many reasons,
but by continuing putting all efforts and goodwill
together we will make it work again !!!
