The Control System of Cern Accelerators Vacuum [ Current Status & Recent Improvements ]
نویسنده
چکیده
The vacuum control system of most of the CERN accelerators is based on Siemens PLCs and on PVSS SCADA. After the transition from the LHC commissioning phase to its regular operation, there has been a number of additions and improvements to the vacuum control system. They were driven by new technical requirements and by feedback from the accelerator operators and vacuum specialists. New control functions have been implemented in the PLCs; new tools have been developed for the SCADA, while its ergonomics and navigation have been enhanced.

The Lhc Control System
A new control system for the LHC machine has been developed building on the existing controls infrastructure of the CERN accelerators. While the primary target for this development is the LHC the aim is to deploy this system on the other accelerators at CERN starting with the LHC pre-injectors. All layers of the control system have been redeveloped. In the Front Ends FESA is a new software infr...
متن کاملDevelopments on the Scada of Cern Accelerators Vacuum
During the first 3 years of LHC operation, the priority for the SCADA of vacuum controls was to attend to user requests, and to improve its ergonomics and efficiency: access & presentation of information simplified and normalized; coherent functionalities & menus across all accelerators; automatic scripts instead of fastidious manual actions; enhanced tools for data analysis and for maintenance...
متن کاملThe New Modular Control System for Power Converters at CERN
The CERN accelerator complex consists of several generations of particle accelerators, with around 5000 power converters supplying regulated current and voltage to normal and superconducting magnet circuits. Today around 12 generations of converter control platforms can be found in the accelerator complex, ranging in age and technology. The diversity of these platforms has a significant impact ...
متن کاملSPS and LEP Controls, Status and Evolution towards the LHC Era
LEP was the first CERN accelerator to be built with a Control System based largely on off-the-shelf technology. Operational experience has confirmed the strategies of the original design. However, to maintain this system, components have to be renewed and in order to meet the increasing user demands the system requires continuous investment. These factors have ensured that the Control System is...
متن کاملFirst Experience with Control and Operational Models for Vacuum Equipment in the Ad Decelerator
Control and Operational models for Vacuum Equipment have been studied at CERN for several years [1]. A prototype implementation was tried out on ion gauges in LEP followed by a full-scale implementation for all vacuum equipment to be controlled in the newly built AD ring. In order to meet the tight time schedule, the existing hardware and software infrastructure of the PS complex has been used....
