AB/CO Review Vito Baggiolini AB/CO BDI expert and diagnostics software Has been discussed extensively in two meetings between CO, BDI, EA, PO and OP, organised by H.Schmickler (01/03 and 17/05). This software will be based on 5 approaches, 3 of which involve CO: FESA navigator (simple get/set/sub)  BDI FESA expert programs (incl. sequences of commands)  BDI/SW No expert GUIs requested for PLC’s! Minor additions to CESAR GUIs  Cesar team Working sets & knobs(for PLC)  CO configuration of WS & knobs by BDI/EA Integration of Jython scripts into Cesar GUI  CO The VME equipment bus (and MAGEA?) will still use SL-equip and nodal in 2006, but will be moved to FESA navigator and expert GUIS a.s.a.p.

AB/CO Review Vito Baggiolini AB/CO EAST Area: Needs for 2006 and beyond: All the needs we have for the North Area, apart from the upgrade related items. This includes:  Maintenance of existing software  Timing  PC configuration and maintenance in EBCR  Control consoles in CCC However, the CCC is far from the East Area, the lack of remote control becomes serious handicap. Instrumentation is very limited At the EA day a controls upgrade project will be presented for 2007 To be evaluated when the request comes.  CO priorities? Lau’s Slide

AB/CO Review Vito Baggiolini AB/CO Conclusions Requirements for SPS-EA clear and well managed –Good and solid collaboration –No worries for Control System Core –We need “our” CESAR GUI developers (from OP/SPS) in 1 st half 2006 for new equipment and missing functionality + CNGS work –Long-term maintenance clear, details to be defined East Area for 2007 not yet taken into account CNGS (secondary beamline) –Good and promising collaboration –Overall requirements understood (detailed analysis ongoing) –No problems anticipated, mostly standard controls If we get “our” GUI developers and if LEIR work stops end of 2005, we can handle Dry Runs, CNGS and SPS Operations in 2006.
