3. Overview TE Technology Department
VSC Vacuum, Surfaces and Coatings Group
ICM Interlocks, Controls and Monitoring Section
Beam and Insulation vacuum systems
> 128km of vacuum chambers across all accelerators
Pressure range from 10-4 to mbar achieved by:
~3000 vacuum pumps
~3000 vacuum gauges
~500 sector valves
How to supervise and control such a large system?
7 SCADA servers
~300 PLCs

4. Project description for VacDB-Editor
What is?
VacDB-Editor is responsible for the generation of the PLC software and SCADA configuration for the vacuum control system
Motivations
The layout of the control system is currently documented in stand-alone files.
No Hard-links between configuration in DB and these files = prone to inconsistencies
Milestones
Guarantee the same source of data for documentation and configuration
Generating documentation automatically from vacDB.

10. Status of VacDB-Editor
Most important features
Modification of VacDB to hold connections.
UI and logic to work with connections.
Integrity prevents wrong data.
Consistency and standarization.
Tracking changes in the VacDB-Editor.
Which connections have been modified, when, and by whom.

11. Project description for VacDM
VacDB
InforEAM
SCADA
Assets & Functional positions
Naming DB
vacDM is the tool which will guarantee cross-database consistency
J.Luis González Arias

12. Challenges of VacDM Integration with different complex databases.
Must guarantee cross-database consistency
Creating a responsive Web application.
Familiarization with new technologies
Spring
JavaScript
Jquery
CSS
Html
Tomcat
Maven
It Will support the EAM System (InforEAM)
Several developers working at the same time
J.Luis González Arias

13. Future work Creating a user and roles management page.
Label printing work management page
What do I have to print?
Has been imported in InforEAM?
Database synchronization service management page
Synchronization between vacDB and inforEAM
Trigger manual synchronizations
Set synchronization parameters
User request page
Allow users to track their request.
New functionalities will appear for vacDM
Connection of vacDM with the naming portal
Expansion of functionality for generic use outside of ICM work
Developing the web version of DBEditor.
