1. Questions to automatic workshop

2. 13 BLs financed Another 5 under discussion MAX IV status: Injector linac running since May 2015 3 GeV ring under commissioning 1.5 GeV installation started, commissioning fall 2016 BL commissioning starts early 2016 Lab inauguration June 2016

3. Is the present control system robust enough to form a basis for automation? Is it userfriendly enough for allowing non- experts to effectively handle the control system? What feed-backs are lacking to allow the rings and linac to operate continuously for a week without operator interventions under normal conditions (no black-outs, hard-ware failures)? Is the machine protection system good enough? Is the PSS good enough? Is error diagnostics sufficient? Is automatic cold start-up a realistic scenario? Comments on alarm system. Other stuff.
