2. The goal of Front Panel 2 Generic GUI for accessing all device parameters of the accelerator Similar to what people use in CCC Setting cycle dependent and non cycle dependent control values (CCV’s) Observing (slow) acquisition values (AQN’s) Setting alarm thresholds for AQN’s in absolute values, %, permil or ppm of the related CCV PP-101005-a-MMA_FrontPanel.pptm Front Panel - A generic PVSS GUI for device control

4. Cycle dependent CCV Value depends on the actual cycle (cycle is identified with the Cycle Code) Values for the cycles are stored in a table Table configured through RMS 4 During commissioning frequent changes needed Problem: Device with CD CCV MTS Logic Next Cycle Event RMS Static Table with Values PP-101005-a-MMA_FrontPanel.pptm Front Panel - A generic PVSS GUI for device control

8. Cycle Code Builder 8 PVSS GUI for building: Cycle Code Cycle Mask&Filter User can create code by specifying the individual elements (energy, particle type, etc…) Displays the code in binary and hex format User can enter a code in hex format Layout of the Cycle Code can be configured over a data point PP-101005-a-MMA_FrontPanel.pptm Front Panel - A generic PVSS GUI for device control

10. Control Concept Basic devices Simple values, e.g. magnet cooling ok or not State machine devices Each device implements the same state machine Achieve homogeneous/generic way of controlling Communication via a dedicated protocol (e.g. OPC,S7) 10 PP-101005-a-MMA_FrontPanel.pptm Front Panel - A generic PVSS GUI for device control

13. CCV in QA and Clinical Mode CCV IS NOT modifiable in QA or Clinical Mode Some devices need tuning due to drift behaviors also in QA and Clinical Mode (e.g. Ion Source) Special CCV’s can be tagged to be modifiable also in QA and Clinical Mode Modification is only possible between restricted limits 13 PP-101005-a-MMA_FrontPanel.pptm Front Panel - A generic PVSS GUI for device control

14. Conclusion A generic panel to control all device parameters Setting CCV’s (cycle and non cycle dependent) Observing AQN’s (slow acquisition rate) Setting alarm threshold for AQN’s A generic way for controlling the state machine A GUI for generating Cycle Code and Cycle Mask&Filter 14 PP-101005-a-MMA_FrontPanel.pptm Front Panel - A generic PVSS GUI for device control
