Overview of AIDA DCS Environmental Monitoring System and Data Communication Strategy
This document presents an overview of the AIDA DCS system developed for environmental monitoring, detailing its components, functionalities, and proposed upgrades. It highlights the use of various sensor cables, including HV and NTC temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and emphasizes the need for system migration from outdated software, specifically from PVSS 3.8 to WinCC 3.11. User requests for improved current management and performance enhancement are discussed. The architecture's integration with the ATLAS test beam setup at SLAC showcases its application in high-energy physics environments.

Since spring 2012 • HV • EHS 8220n-F (8 channels, 2 kV, 4mA) • EHS 8205n-F (8 channels, 500V, 10 mA) • Monitoring • 12 NTC for temperature measurement • 2 Honeywell humidity sensors • 1 four wire measurement e.g. • Precise measurement of resistors • PT100 etc. • DCS PC • Windows XP • PVSS 3.8 DCS components
Operating system must be upgraded! • Windows XP not supported anymore • Migration from PVSS 3.8 to WinCC 3.11 recommended. • Request by users: • Change the reaction to over currents • currently channels are switched off • ‘current source’ behaviourpossible (max current is kept, voltage is reduced) • possible by changing the iseg settings • Improvemanual • e.g. restart of archiving To do list
ATLAS IBL DCS uses • Iseg EHS HV modules • DCS monitoring crate • Quality Assurance of cooling pipes • Pressure transmitter • Flow transmitter • Active and passive current loops (4-20 mA) • Based on DCS monitoring crate • ATLAS testbeamsetup@SLAC • Copy of AIDA DCS + LV modules integrated into DCS as well • MPOD modules (8 channels, 0..8V, 5A, sense wires) • requires a different crate: MPOD Mini Crate • Crate houses HV and LV modules • spring 2014 Derivatives for other applications
