3. CERN, 2007-03-06O.Pinazza: ALICE TOF DCS3 Sub systems status HV –PVSS: ok for both 3.1 and 3.6 (with FW and OPC, custom and standard panels) –FSM: ok on 3.1, not ported yet on 3.6 –HW: 2 SY1527 delivered, ready to be installed in CR4-Z02 and CR4-Z03, needs of 1-ph power and ethernet connection, besides HV cables (tested, few connectors missing) LV –PVSS: fwCAEN is working correctly with 3.6, worse with 3.1, standard panels –FSM: (see FSM for HV) –HW: 4 SY1527 and branch controllers delivered, 2 ready to be installed (racks O03-O32, I03-I32, needs of 1ph power, eth, EASY bus patch) 12 Maciste: 1 to 2 ready to be installed in racks O04-O31 (1ph power –svc-, 3-ph power, EASY bus, LV bars) FEE –PVSS: ok, dpt and dp ready, simple panels, DIM -services and commands- prepared, tested, strictly FED compliant –FSM: not ready –HW: 2 SM installed with FEE devices, lab setup at Cern and in Italy (see Integration); needs for optical fibers to PCs in CR3, cooling on SM08 Cooling: PVSS, FSM, HW unknown GAS: PVSS, FSM, HW unknown VME: PVSS, FSM, HW unknown

8. CERN, 2007-03-06O.Pinazza: ALICE TOF DCS8 Installation news Cables, connections and services in the pit are not fully available 1-ph power 3-ph power LV bars Ethernet Easy bus HV connections (CR4) Optical fibers After last survey at Point 2, we‘re still missing many connectors (rack side). This/next week we’ll hopefully begin to install devices in the racks in UX and CR Supermodule 08 Starting probably this week, the supermodule will finally be pushed in its final position At present, our effort is to set all the connections and services needed for the SM to be switched on, operated and tested as soon as possible

9. CERN, 2007-03-06O.Pinazza: ALICE TOF DCS9 Final Installation at P2 Complete SW with PVSS 3.6 –A running (but not final) version is going to be installed in the next days, to test and operate the first SMs –Complete system: not before mid May Network, cables and connectors –To be checked early this week Devices –Hopefully this week: HV PS in CR4 LV PS (SY and Maciste) side O –PCs: 4/21 linux “farm” pc ready in CR3 (remaining 17 not before May)

12. CERN, 2007-03-06O.Pinazza: ALICE TOF DCS12 Integration DAQ, DA, ECS validated (Dec ’06-Feb ‘07) Further integration tests to be performed in the TOF lab at Cern: –February 28: Test of ECS+DCS (CERN, TOF) –March 19-22: Integration test for all DCS components of TOF in ECS (TOF) with real HW –April 10-13: Combined test with TRG, DAQ, DCS, ECS, DA on real HW

13. CERN, 2007-03-06O.Pinazza: ALICE TOF DCS13 Conclusions SW: Main PVSS subprojects are beings used in the TOF lab; not in their final version, but almost fully functional –Still missing: alarms, interlocks, Oracle archiving, complex FEE procedures (ex. Calibration, error recovery actions), FSM-FEE tree HW: Most of the hardware has been delivered and the first devices are being installed probably this week to test SM08 Integration tests have started
