Aim of Workshop (1)Aim of Workshop (1)

ALICE DCS project is running since several years been pending ~ one year now being re-launched

Take a step backwards…… and review the basic issues project definition and organization status of Joint Controls Project (JCOP) status of Detector Controls

30.5 2001 Summary DCS Workshop - L.Jirdén 3

Aim of Workshop (2)Aim of Workshop (2)

But also to re-establish contacts across ALICE controls community re-launch discussions and exchange of information learn to know each other and start a fruitful

collaboration...

Proposed DCS project Proposed DCS project organization:organization:

GOALSGOALS Ultimate goal

“A working DCS ready for exploitation end 2005 allowing to control and operate the experiment during all modes of operation and according to defined requirements”.

Final assembly and commissioning“Individual DCS’s ready to be used during final assembly

and commissioning end 2004”.

Intermediate goals Milestones to be established in ALICE Controls Board.

Project organization (1)Project organization (1)

Responsibilities ACC: co-ordinate the project execution Detector groups Groups: design & implement their DCS ACB: steering group, some executive power Service groups: similar to detector groups DAQ,Trigger, Offline, LHC machine: to be defined in

common projects IT Controls group: co-ordinate JCOP, support common

tools JCOP: provide common framework of tools and

components

30.5 2001 Summary DCS Workshop - L.Jirdén 14

Summary of answers (1)Summary of answers (1)

Description of detector Many detectors, different in size and complexity Detector R&D not finished yet in several cases…

Review of control needs inventory done in the past global overview was presented - many ‘similar’ needs systematic registration now to be done

Next stepsNext steps

Start evaluation of devices LV and HV supplies, etc

Start prototyping use of PVSS

Controls people to be found Finish Detector R&D

30.5 2001 Summary DCS Workshop - L.Jirdén 17

What do you expect What do you expect from ACC team (1)from ACC team (1)

Some comments: To harmonize and make various detectors parts work

together To organize common ways to:

collect and record DCS data what data; environmental data records, etc

Look at implications due to limited access to equipment, redundancy needs

Cover security issues, handling of alarms

30.5 2001 Summary DCS Workshop - L.Jirdén 18

What do you expect What do you expect from ACC team (2)from ACC team (2)

Test-lab; when and what available PVSS support, software drivers Connections with external services what to be handled via DAQ and via DCS Beam-test systems etc.

Proposed DCS organization generally accepted

30.5 2001 Summary DCS Workshop - L.Jirdén 19

Workshop Conclusion (1)Workshop Conclusion (1)

Proposed Project organization Basic project outline accepted Controls Coordination and Controls Board mandate has

been defined - members nominated – after ok from TB ready to start working

JCOP progressing according to program plan PVSS II selection - major achievement framework tools advancing well - 1st release May 2001 feedback from the experiments important

30.5 2001 Summary DCS Workshop - L.Jirdén 20

Conclusion (2)Conclusion (2)

Detector groups very good response ~ 35 participants widespread progress only a few have started evaluation and prototype work devices in general not yet fixed but becoming urgent general wish to use common ‘standards’ welcomed the re-activation of ALICE controls

Aim of workshop contacts established, discussions re-launched and we

have learnt to know each other. 1st milestone has been achieved
