  2. Stage I II Beam commissioning 43 bunch operation ? 75ns ops Beam Beam Goal of the presentation • Clarify the responsibilities • Present the LHC Beam operation software architecture • Draw the list of the applications for stage I & II • Expose the major issues Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  3. Stage I II Beam commissioning 43 bunch operation ? 75ns ops Beam Beam Goal of the presentation • Clarify the responsibilities • Present the LHC Beam operation software architecture • Draw the list of the applications for stage I & II • Expose the major issues Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  4. Responsibility Limits - Inside 1/2 The Controls group • provides core control functionality & applications(HWC sequencer, equip state, equip monitoring, SDDS,…) in collaboration with AB/OP • produces and maintains standard facilities(Logging, FDs, LASER, JAPC, SIS, BIC, OASIS, CCM, …) • develops, maintains and supports UNICOS based applications (Cryo, QPS, PIC, WIC,..) for industrial control system • provides support for modeling of the Controls database (SPS, HWC, LEIR, LHC) and for the loggingand measurement services (Timber, Meter) Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  5. Responsibility Limits - Inside 2/2 • AB/CO is alsoproviding development environment, tools and graphical components to be used by application developers, equipment and MD specialists • FESA editor • Java dataviewer • General purpose graphical beans • Java GUI frame • LabVIEW development environment • UNICOS frame • Working sets & Knobs • Jython • Build and release tools • Software support to developers µCR Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  6. Responsibility Limits - Outside • AB/CO is NOT responsible for • equipment expert GUI applications (except QPS, CRYO) • MD software GUI applications Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  7. Stage I II Beam commissioning 43 bunch operation ? 75ns ops Beam Beam Goal of the presentation • Clarify the responsibilities • Present the LHC Beam operation software architecture • Draw the list of the applications for stage I & II • Expose the major issues Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  8. Frameworks for LHC Applications Three approaches in place to build applications • Beam based control applications • Majority of applications • Java infrastructure • Industrial control PLC/SCADA based applications • UNICOS frame based on PVSS • Post Mortem data analysis • Based on LabVIEW Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  9. Our Approach to Java Applications Development • A considerable amount of applications for stage I & II is requested • This will be achieved since we have put in place a common architecture based on • a solid core functionality • a standard equipment access • reusable software components • standard facilities upon which the LHC applications are being built • This requires high competence in software engineering for core development BUT it pays back • Complex self contained applications are replaced by light weight GUI applications which are easier to develop • GUI applications based on the core are less error prone Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  11. LHC Java Applications - Organization • The work is done in a close collaboration with the OP group - we work in a team • One single project in place(LSA *)providing the common architecture • Aim to use for several accelerators TT40, TI8, HWC, LEIR, SPS, sector test and LHC • Test using every possible controls or operational milestone and several dry runs * In 2006: 4 CO FTE and ~5 OP FTE Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  12. Stage I II Beam commissioning 43 bunch operation ? 75ns ops Beam Beam Goal of the presentation • Clarify the responsibilities • Present the LHC Beam operation software architecture • Draw the list of the applications for stage I & II • Expose the major issues Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  13. High Level Requirements - extract from Mike’s talk • Core Functionality • Equipment • Instrumentation • Exploitation • Standard facilities Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  14. High Level Application for Stage 0 • PM already connected to PC and QPS • BIC already tested in TI8 • PIC soon to be tested (HWC) • All systems will be ready for startup • 1 temp staff for the applications of PIC & WIC • 1 retiring staff for the coordination of PM project Common core functionalityUnstaffed activity Temporary or departing staff

  15. Core Functionality for Stage I & II • Already in a very advanced stage of development • Provides common functionality for high level applications • Data model definition completed - same for TLs, SPS, LEIR, LHC • Main architect/core developer leaves in May • 2 temp staff for core activities Common core functionalityUnstaffed activity Temporary or departing staff

  16. Equipment • Collimation project already discussed extensively • Settings/control/state in place for all equipment applications by LSA core • Majority of application are assigned including XPOC • A few unmanned activities to be taken up in the course of 2006 Common core functionalityUnstaffed activity Temporary or departing staff

  17. Equipment under CO responsibility • Activities OK for stage I • BIC with 2 temp staff for hardware and GUI development Common core functionalityUnstaffed activity Temporary or departing staff

  18. Instrumentation - Stage I • Critical instrument (BLM, BPM, BCT, BTV) applications applications are assigned • BLM and BPM concentrators are taken care by LSA core • Within the following 3 months the application responsible with the equipment specialists will define the operational APIs of critical instrument and a test plan (when we need what) • This should result in simulation equipment servers in place by the eq. specialists • Resources for tune and luminosity will be found in the 2nd half of 2006 Common core functionalityUnstaffed activity Temporary or departing staff

  19. Instrumentation - Stage II & III • Most activities for stage II & III remain unmanned - revisited in the course of 2006 • Schottky development covered by LARP collaboration Common core functionalityUnstaffed activity Temporary or departing staff

  20. Measure/Adjust • Orbit in good shape • Rest of the work is staged and will be manned in the course of 2006 Common core functionalityUnstaffed activity Temporary or departing staff

  21. Exploitation • Both sequencers are important tools for operation and they are covered in terms of development and support. Common core functionalityUnstaffed activity Temporary or departing staff

  22. Major Standard Facilities • SIS system with several complicated client inputs for LHC • Requirements documented/published • Proof of concept delivered in Jan 2006 • Laser • min. solution for 2006 - exercise for SPS & sector tests and improve functionality for startup • Support by CO experts - 365/24 not guaranteed • 3 temp and 1 departing staff for these facilities Common core functionalityUnstaffed activity Temporary or departing staff

  23. Stage I II Beam commissioning 43 bunch operation ? 75ns ops Beam Beam Goal of the presentation • Clarify the responsibilities • Present the LHC Beam operation software architecture • Draw the list of the applications for stage I & II • Expose the major issues Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  24. Issues - Resources • The system architect & core developer leaves CERN in May • Major core activities are staffed by temp or departing staff • The same application developers are working for HWC, LEIR, CNGS, PS and SPS startup and ….. • what is left of them … for LHC Beam Operations… • LHC applications list not fully staffed clearly showing lack of resources • We need experienced Java software developers Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  25. Issues -Time allocated for Testing • While TT40/TI8, HWC, LEIR, and SPS ring will be used to test the LSA core and applications extensively, … • the tests foreseen in 2006 • CNGS • TI8/TT40 • sector test will be the only validation of the LHC software, so … • we need well coordinated dry runs beforehand • We request time allocated during LHC commissioning for the final tests of the deployed software Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  26. Issues - Remote Access and Security • Experts and piquet require access to LHC controls from outside the CCC • Who has the right to modify LHC parameters? • Control of certain devices (Schottky) from other institutes is already requested (US-LARP collaboration) • We need remote access and role basedaccess policy and manpower to implement it • CNIC is not the answer Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications

  27. Conclusions • Solid architecture on which to base the LHC applications exists with main core services and several GUI applications already deployed • Tested and validated with TT40/TI8, HWC, LEIR, SPS, CNGS and sector test • We have a complete list of the LHC applications/developers • http://cern.ch/ab-lsa/planning/commissioning.htm but with some holes … • There are issues on resources, time for testing,remote accessand security • We have the right tools for the job and we will be able to do it, provided effort is not diverted into lower priority work Chamonix XV: Commitments and Major Issues on LHC Applications
