3. Tracker consists of  4 chambers of 4 views each In total ~7200 drift tubes (~450 per view) To be controlled/monitored  HV system  LV system  Gas system  Thermo-sensors

4. Only “CERN Standard” solutions PVSS II + JCOP framework as a basement for DCS development PVSS II is a SCADA toolkit for high level control system development  Visual programming (active pictures)  Object-oriented (data point)  encapsulation  inheritance  member fields  Event-driven  Events related to a change of a data point element (member field) value  Interpretive system  Language – some mixture of C, C++ and Pascal  Distributed system It is assumed that tracker has it’s own DCS PC

5.  Straw tracker needs 2 HV channels per view => 32 HV channels  Possible HV power supplies  CAEN HV modules A1535 – 24 channels, 3.5 KV, 1 mA  CAEN mainframe SY2527LC (up to 6 modules)  The most convenient refresh period ~1 sec – to be discussed

6. Windows PC OPC server PVSS II Windows PC Could be single PC TCP/IP COM/DCOM (TCP/IP) OPC client Ethernet

7.  Should be used Wiener power supply  Current per plain (view) ~30A  Wiener MPV 8008L could be used  8 channels per module => one unit per station  0V... 8V  10A  50W per channel  12bit control DAC, ADC  <10mV pp  Communication by TCP/IP, USB, CAN-bus  2 modules per chamber  The most convenient refresh period ~1 sec – to be discussed

8. Windows PC OPC server PVSS II Windows PC Could be single PC COM/DCOM (TCP/IP) OPC client Ethernet Terminator CAN-Bus Interface (Quazer XXXX) CAN-Bus

9.  JCOP framework + CERN Gas working group  CERN Standard 2-component gas mixer  For safety (working in vacuum)  Up to 32 gas segments per view (???)  Two electric valves per plane (station???) with 2 flow meters to cut the gas in case of broken straw + manual valves to cut off the segment with the broken straw A lot of open questions

10.  View (plane), 176 measurements in total  1 temperature measurement per cover on the bottom of the PCB (to measure gas and board temp), requires 2 ADC channels  3 (?) voltages + 1 current measurement per cover  There are 28 covers/view  4 temperature measurements for mechanics.  28*(2+4)+4=176 ADC channels per view  Chamber  4 views  704 ADC measurements/chamber, 11 ELMBs/chamber  Detector  4 chambers  44 ELMBs total  Refresh period - to be discussed

11. Windows PC OPC server PVSS II Windows PC OPC client Ethernet 4 chambers CAN-Bus Interface (Quazer XXXX) CAN-Bus 11 ELMBs per station, 44 ELMBs in total, 4 CAN-bus branches

12. OPC client OPC server GUI Tracker Windows PC OPC server PVSS II Central DCS Windows PC OPC clients Ethernet OPC client GUI PVSS UI Could provide 1 sec refresh period Depends on PVSS lisence

13. Any detector DCS has three trees  Physical tree in terms rack-crate-board- channel. Used for geographical addressing of infrastructure units  Logical tree in terms detector-subdetector- station-plane-channel-parameter. Used for navigation in the detector view  FSM tree. Used to propagate commands from top layer to bottom layer and states from the bottom to the top. Usually it is similar to the Logical tree

15.  It seems reasonable to use individual Windows PC for Tracker DCS running all OPC servers  At the development phase this PC could also run local OPC clients with data refresh period ~ 1 sec  After the development is finished it seems to be reasonable to stop local OPC clients and to use only PVSS data with refresh period ~30 sec  To avoid crowds at a single Central DCS PC screen it seems reasonable to run tracker GUIs (PVSS UI) at the tracker DCS PC leaving the “PVSS system” at the central DCS PC.  To allow simple maintenance, the tracker panels, functions etc. should be converted to the JCOP framework component.
