Answers to DCS Commissioning and Installation related questions

ALICE week at CERNO. Pinazza and the TOF team


Subsystems

HV LV FEE Cooling Gas VME


Sub systems status• HV

– PVSS: ok for both 3.1 and 3.6 (with FW and OPC, custom and standard panels)– FSM: ok on 3.1, not ported yet on 3.6 – HW: 2 SY1527 delivered, ready to be installed in CR4-Z02 and CR4-Z03, needs of 1-ph power

and ethernet connection, besides HV cables (tested, few connectors missing)• LV

– PVSS: fwCAEN is working correctly with 3.6, worse with 3.1, standard panels– FSM: (see FSM for HV)– HW:

• 4 SY1527 and branch controllers delivered, 2 ready to be installed (racks O03-O32, I03-I32, needs of 1ph power, eth, EASY bus patch)

• 12 Maciste: 1 to 2 ready to be installed in racks O04-O31 (1ph power –svc-, 3-ph power, EASY bus, LV bars)

• FEE– PVSS: ok, dpt and dp ready, simple panels, DIM -services and commands- prepared, tested,

strictly FED compliant– FSM: not ready – HW: 2 SM installed with FEE devices, lab setup at Cern and in Italy (see Integration);

needs for optical fibers to PCs in CR3, cooling on SM08• Cooling: PVSS, FSM, HW unknown• GAS: PVSS, FSM, HW unknown• VME: PVSS, FSM, HW unknown


TOF DCS SW issues

• PVSS 3.1 SP2– HV, FEE and FSM projects ok– LV (with new fwCAEN) not yet correct (OPC addresses)

• PVSS 3.6 – HV, LV, FEE projects ok– Unable to convert any of the previous projects– Unable to convert FSM project

Installation at P2


Installation news

Cables, connections and services in the pit are not fully available 1-ph power

3-ph power LV bars

Ethernet Easy bus

HV connections (CR4) Optical fibers

After last survey at Point 2, we‘re still missing many connectors (rack side). This/next week we’ll hopefully begin to install devices in the racks in UX and CR

Supermodule 08• Starting probably this week, the supermodule will

finally be pushed in its final position• At present, our effort is to set all the connections

and services needed for the SM to be switched on, operated and tested as soon as possible


Final Installation at P2

• Complete SW with PVSS 3.6– A running (but not final) version is going to be installed in

the next days, to test and operate the first SMs – Complete system: not before mid May

• Network, cables and connectors– To be checked early this week

• Devices– Hopefully this week:

• HV PS in CR4• LV PS (SY and Maciste) side O

– PCs: 4/21 linux “farm” pc ready in CR3 (remaining 17 not before May)


Integration


DCS+ECSF. Cindolo


Integration

• DAQ, DA, ECS validated (Dec ’06-Feb ‘07)• Further integration tests to be performed in the TOF

lab at Cern:– February 28: Test of ECS+DCS (CERN, TOF) – March 19-22: Integration test for all DCS components of

TOF in ECS (TOF) with real HW– April 10-13: Combined test with TRG, DAQ, DCS, ECS, DA

on real HW


Conclusions

• SW: Main PVSS subprojects are beings used in the TOF lab; not in their final version, but almost fully functional– Still missing: alarms, interlocks, Oracle archiving, complex

FEE procedures (ex. Calibration, error recovery actions), FSM-FEE tree

• HW: Most of the hardware has been delivered and the first devices are being installed probably this week to test SM08

• Integration tests have started
