Industrial Controls Engineering Department Results of the PXI survey launched in June 2011 First CERN PXI Users Group meeting - 19 th October H. Reymond - EN/ICE

Industrial Controls Engineering Department Why a survey about PXI ? 2  Since 01/2009 EN-ICE is in charge of CERN wide support for industrial control systems, including National Instruments products (legacy from IT/CO & AB/CO-IS)  During last 2 years, PXI systems have been heavily spread :  In all CERN domains : DAQ, RF Analysis, Motion Control, Feedback Stabilization Measurement, Kicker magnet control, …  For Accelerator & Experiments : PS, SPS, LHC, TOTEM, UA9, CRISTAL, CAST, NA58, ALPHA, …

Industrial Controls Engineering Department Why a survey about PXI ? 3  Today EN-ICE aims to improve the support for the PXI systems  A global view of the used equipment is necessary to be able to propose dedicated services  So a survey was needed to get an overview of CERN  It has been done in 2 steps:  Looking for the PXI Users  Asking them for information about their systems

Industrial Controls Engineering Department Looking for the PXI Users 4 *PXI* *RT* *LV* 238 PXI systems found

Industrial Controls Engineering Department Looking for the PXI Users PXI systems found 22 persons as PXI User 30 persons as PXI Responsible 12 resp. 93 PXI systems 1 resp. 125 PXI systems 17 resp. 20 PXI systems Survey

Industrial Controls Engineering Department Launching the survey toward all the PXI Users & Resp. 6 Received description for 75 PXI systems = 67 % of returns 12 resp. 93 PXI systems 17 resp. 20 PXI systems 113
