BE-ICS-CIC Communications and Informatics for Controls (CIC) Group meeting 24th November 2016 We are ~13 people.

Who are we? We are ~13 people.

What we do? Many CIC activities are transversal and involve people from other sections Heterogeneous technologies : Java, Web, C++, DB… Applications UNICOS Application Builder LHC Gas Control Systems MOON iCEDM LHC Dashboard DIP Contract Monitoring DIP Repository and publication approval workflow CERN-Wide Support CANbus DIP OPC Group Services Automatic Release Service (ARES) Web Infrastructure Jira SVN Maven Jenkins VersionDog Integration Tests Terminal Servers Development and Research Participation in JCOP and UNICOS Frameworks Big data and Cloud Computing (with SDS) QUASAR with ATLAS OPC UA Servers for commercial power supplies Note that many activities involve people from many sections. Heterogenous section, many technologies used (Java, C++, Web, DB). Deliver… CERN wide support middleware protocols OPC + DIP and low level CANbus. All three protocols used quite extensively in the experiments. Applications Used both within the BE-ICS group and outwith the group. Some are turn key style applications, delivered to end-users (e.g. GCS) Some are development frameworks (UNICOS for example) Group Services (as a section, deliver) Internal infrastructure, tools needed to support group development effort R&D Big data analysis Anomolies detection and preventative maintenance. * Data analytics, big data style analysis on control system output etc.

OPC Support for ~200 OPC-DA servers in production during 2016. Significant investment in commercial power supply hardware (~40 MCHF). OPC is the key stone for power supply integration in Detector Control Systems. What is OPC? Support for ~200 OPC-DA servers in production during 2016. OPC-DA -> OPC-UA: replacement in next few years Collaborative development on next-gen OPC-UA servers Development agreements signed with hardware vendors Collaborations throughout CERN (e.g. ATLAS: quasar framework) Collaborations with other research institutions Development and testing (OPC-UA) in progress Production ready for start LS2 Hardware simulation project started in 2016 Testing Training Experimentation SCADA OPC Client CAEN OPC Server Wiener OPC Server ISEG OPC Server UPDATE THIS SLIDE…\ COMPRESS OPC to single slide Simulation SCADA OPC Client Michael CAEN OPC Server Wiener OPC Server ISEG OPC Server Simulated Hardware Ben
