Bogusław Kosęda, DMCS-TUL XFEL-LLRF-ATCA Meeting, 3-4 Dec The European X-Ray Laser Project XFEL X-Ray Free-Electron Laser 2 Agenda Tasks of automation General scheme of the automation Automation in the ATCA FSM for safe LLRF operation Possible implementations Experience To do Staff

Bogusław Kosęda, DMCS-TUL XFEL-LLRF-ATCA Meeting, 3-4 Dec The European X-Ray Laser Project XFEL X-Ray Free-Electron Laser 3 Tasks of automation To automate routine operators tasks To adapt to unpredictably changing conditions of underlying hardware To recover the subsystem from known faults To perform above activities safely!

Bogusław Kosęda, DMCS-TUL XFEL-LLRF-ATCA Meeting, 3-4 Dec The European X-Ray Laser Project XFEL X-Ray Free-Electron Laser 4 General scheme of the automation

Bogusław Kosęda, DMCS-TUL XFEL-LLRF-ATCA Meeting, 3-4 Dec The European X-Ray Laser Project XFEL X-Ray Free-Electron Laser 5 FSM for safe LLRF operation Filters the user the interface provided by the LLRF system.The user interface depends on the operation LLRF operation mode and the LLRF control status. Thus preventing the LLRF system to be misused by the autonomous automation and unexperienced operator.

Bogusław Kosęda, DMCS-TUL XFEL-LLRF-ATCA Meeting, 3-4 Dec The European X-Ray Laser Project XFEL X-Ray Free-Electron Laser 6 Automation in the ATCA High level applications Low Level Applications Software Interface AutomationGUI Does not communicate directly with the hardware !!!

Bogusław Kosęda, DMCS-TUL XFEL-LLRF-ATCA Meeting, 3-4 Dec The European X-Ray Laser Project XFEL X-Ray Free-Electron Laser 7 Automation in the ATCA Automation relies on dozens of high/low level applications and diagnostic signals so: Interconnectivity of high and low level applications will be surely better supported by the ATCA than by the VME Better performance of the ATCA crate will better suit high network traffic generated by the automation software ATCA shelf manager will provide many diagnostic information used by the fault recovery automation module

Bogusław Kosęda, DMCS-TUL XFEL-LLRF-ATCA Meeting, 3-4 Dec The European X-Ray Laser Project XFEL X-Ray Free-Electron Laser 8 Keep in mind Automation is as good as the quality of information about the system it supervises. Which implies: The more information about the LLRF system condition will be provided by the diagnostics, the more autonomous (“intelligent”) the automation will be. The more up-to-date information will be supplied to the automation module the more reliably will it work. The faster the hl and the ll applications will come into being, the faster the automation will evolve

Bogusław Kosęda, DMCS-TUL XFEL-LLRF-ATCA Meeting, 3-4 Dec The European X-Ray Laser Project XFEL X-Ray Free-Electron Laser 9 Experience

Bogusław Kosęda, DMCS-TUL XFEL-LLRF-ATCA Meeting, 3-4 Dec The European X-Ray Laser Project XFEL X-Ray Free-Electron Laser 10 To do Remote GUI for the automation module for automating routine operator's procedures (so far. the DDD does not provide creation of dynamical GUIs) Optimization of the planning algorithm used by the automation Specification and implementation of the Safety-FSM Preparation of the specifications for both the automation engines
