  1. Paul Scherrer Institut Ernst Johansen The „Pie in the Sky“

  2. Agenda Unified Processing Architecture Motivation History Technology Feasibility Proposal Cost Discussion ma.a3uUs

  3. Motivation PSI Motivation • We will soon operate four Machines (2x proton, 2x electron) • Maintenance will become a huge Challenge • Focus on synergies between all machines • We need very long lifetime for the control solutions Personal Motivation • Bring in +15 years of experience in designing Industrial Control Systems • I like do design systems on a “decent” platform

  4. Unified Processing Architecture ? Use Cases PLC Siemens, Rockwell, Wago, Beckhoff IOC PPC, Intel VxWorks, Linux VPC PPC405, DSP No OS, Xilkernel GPAC PPC440, OS = ? SLS, HIPA DSP, uC UPA Common CPU, OS Common FW

  5. Platforms Religion…. They somehow do it all… don’t they ? Its very expensive to change them You need alliances to be strong… Technology Are there any new technologies around ? How to apply these to the VME64x platform ? Significant Improvements PCI Express FMC (VITA57.1-2008) Larger, low-power FPGA How to apply PCI Express, FMC and larger FPGA’s to VME64x ?

  6. Design – VME Bottleneck CPU CPU VME64x ≈250MB/s (2Gbps) FPGA FPGA FPGA DSP

  10. FMC – High-Speed I/O Defined PSI standard, but… VITA57.1-2008 FPGA Mezzanine Cards is here • Supports the PSI Use Cases • Broad industrial acceptance • 69 x 76.5 mm2 (small) Examples • 4DSP • 8 channel ADC 250Msps @ 14-bit • 4 channel ADC 125Msps @ 16-bit • 1 channel ADC 5Gsps @ 8-bit • 4 channel DAC 1000Msps @ 16-bit • Curtiss-Wright • 4 channel DAC 500Msps @ 16-bit Proposal • VITA57.1-2008 compatibility • Support for extended PCB size where required

  11. Hardware Design Are there any reusable existing products on the market? What has to be extended ?

  12. IOxOS IOxOS • Swiss Company Gland by Geneva • Experts VME, PCIe, Board Design Products • VME64x High-Performance VME64x Bridge • Design Kits Virtex-5, Virtex-6 Status • NDA Signed • Offer Design UPA • Sell Into research community

  13. PSI, CPU • Intel Atom • No ECC AMCC APM83290 • ~21W • Marvell MV78200 • ARM, 6W, immature Linux • Freescale P2020 • Dual 1.2GHz PowerPC , <8W • Freescale P4040 • Quad 1.5GHz PowerPC, ~20W • Freescale P4080 • Octal 1.5GHz PowerPC, ~ 30W • Broadcom, NetLogic, Cavium… P2020RDB

  14.

  18. Software Design Are there any reusable existing products on the market? What has to be extended ?

  19. 3S - CoDeSys SP V3 (OEM) CoDeSys IEC61131-3 • De-facto Industrial Standard • Used by several hundred companies • Supports all IEC61131-3 Languages • Ported to Linux • Build-In EtherCAT Stack Status • Offer Porting to UPA

  20. EtherCAT – Medium-Speed I/O Bus Master • Based on standard Ethernet • Very low protocol overhead Key Data • Performance • 1.000 Digital-I/Os in 30 µs • 200 Analog-I/Os (16 Bit) in 50 µs • 100 Servo-axis in 100 µs • Suitable PCI / PMC replacement • Suitable IP-module replacement Technology • http://www.beckhoff.de

  22. Capabilities - Linux RT on P2020 Similar to Emerson MVME4100 performance, but has additional Second CPU core for real-time DSP Real-Time PREEMPT_RT on P2020 in SMP-Mode (One operating system – two cores) Patch is easy to apply and well supported Moved all Processes to PPC0 Moved all Interrupts to PPC0 100% PPC0 load (cyclictest) Executed EPICS on PPC0 Executed cylictest on PPC1 PPC1 Latency Results Min 5us Avg 5us Max 40 us Conclusions Guarding one CPU enables hard real-time behavior running EPICS in parallel. Preliminary results shows that 10kHz @ 50% CPU load is feasible.

  26. VITA57.1-2008 FMC – Partner Strategy • Cooperate with Industry • Utilize latest available technology Curtiss-Wright • NDA • Next Generation FMC • ADC 250Msps @ 16-bit ??? 4DSP • Next Generation FMC • 6-channel ADC 250Msps @ 16-bit ???

  27. Conclusions We need a long term strategy for our control systems UPA enables one single framework for PLC, IOC , Medium-Speed- and RF applications VME64x is the most stable specification and compatible with SLS and HIPA  Retrofit Higher integration we can considerably reduce the cost of VME64x The UPA has low component count and ECC – suitable for high-reliability applications With UPA we can achieve near to zero long-term royalties With strategic sourcing a lifetime of 20 years is feasible (if we want to) We get complete design in source code – including hardware and VHDL!!! There are potential partners to get into a win-win situation!!!
