2. Outline Reference to plans from February 2013
External constraints: central installations
Status of preparation works and tests in SR1
Status of preparation works in USA15
Schedule for next months
TRT Overview E. Banas

3. Fulfilling Plans from February 2013
Continuous work and tests in SR1, using 4 new DCS PC’s and TRT detector hardware setup
From the middle of May at least one DCS expert at CERN
EB till 29 June, JO from 1 July for 4 (6) months, ZH in July
Installation of 3 new DCS PC’s in USA15 (in temporary rack) with standard ATLAS DCS setup for development and tests
Installation of SYSTEC interfaces
Connecting subsystems detector hardware from old system to new PC’s for full tests
TRT Overview E. Banas

4. External constraints: installation of operating systems and basic software in Point1
All DCS production computers work with Linux SLC6
Where Windows is needed for controling hardware (e.g. DA OPC servers like Wiener) – W2008 Virtual Machine is installed.
Installation of operating systems + software:
Linux SLC6:
operating system + centrally available software: hardware drivers, OPC servers, WinCC OA – done by ATLAS Sysadmins
(ticket mechanism)
installation of other software not possible: if really needed, can be made centrally available (after discussion with Central DCS)
creation of WINCCOA project by means of a Central DCS script
limited privileges
W2008 VM, hardware drivers – ATLAS Central DCS
All software can be installed by DCS experts from CMF as before

½ of standard 16 port SYSTEC connected, 1 CAN port used for VME crates control (CAN bus)
PL512 (MARATON like) is Ethernet controlled
Wiener OPC DA server for W7/W SYSTEC wrapper installed
tested OK with:
2 VME crates
1 TRT PL512
5 Pixel PL512

6. Tests in SR1: High Voltage Projects
Linux SLC6 installed on a new DCS PC (with PCIe Serial Card)
basic tests of RS232 communication done,
ready for further tests with UA HVSys OPC server
Windows 2003 installed on a new DCS PC (with PCIe Serial Card)
software tools necessary for development of
new UA HVSys OPC Server:
Unified Architecture Toolkit
uaexpert OPC Client
Development of the UA HVSys OPC server in progress
TRT specific Framework (OPC UA Client configuration) and Technical Panels to be modified (RS-232 protocol changes)
TRT Overview E. Banas

7. Tests in SR1: LVPP FE and Temperature 1
Linux SLC6 installed on new DCS PC
½ of standard 16 port SYSTEC connected, 2 CAN ports used for side C of TRT detector (2 LVPP’s and 2 TTC’s) control
Software
Independent program for LVPP tests with low level calls
Systec Driver, UA OpcUaCanOpen server (Central DCS)
WinHost – independent tool for checking ELMB’s (Henk)
Simple Client developed by Central DCS
WinCC OA project with fwElmb component
TRT Overview E. Banas

8. Tests in SR1: LVPP FE and Temperature 2
Intensive tests of OpcUaCanOpen server (close collaboration with Central DCS):
monitoring analogue values – proved OK
implementation of DTMROC’s communication protocol using OpcUaCanOpen server:
development and tests – ongoing, well advanced
In the same time
modification of the TRT specific trtPP2 framework component to fit with new DTMROC communication way and WinCC OA ongoing

No hardware connected, ready to be used by Jola
TRT Overview E. Banas

13. DCS test bench in USA15 – LV FE and Temperature (PP part)
pcatltrt07 – Linux SLC6
no VM – UA OpcUaCanOpen server will be used to access ELMB’s
SYSTEC module connected
6 Systec CAN ports connected to the CAN bus controlling Patch Panels in parallel to old PC’s – ready for tests
Software:
WinCC OA project
with fwELMB component for first tests
once TRT specific trtPP2 framework component is ready – import project and start full tests
TRT Overview E. Banas

14. Plans
Keep the current DCS untouched and have the detector under control and monitoring
Perform projects’ import, adaptation and tests in our 3 fields (Infrastructure, HV and PP) in USA15 test PC’s according to individual needs
Once all template systems are tested OK (not before September)
replace machines one by one, trying to have most of the detector
hardware under control
Continue development and tests in the SR1 test bench
TRT Overview E. Banas

15. Summary DCS preparation works are well advanced
Developing of UA HVSys OPC server in progress
Adaptation of UA OpUaCanOpenOpc server to communication with DTMROC well advanced
3 PC’s, each dedicated for different DCS activity, installed in USA15
TRT Detector hardware connected to Infrastructure PC and LV FE PC
Ready to make tests from remote without disturbing
Up to end of the year at least 1 DCS expert present at CERN
