ILC Controls in CD

ILC Controls in CD
2
CD involved on 2 fronts

• Global Effort design of the ILC controls system
• FNAL involvement started at Snowmass
• Prior to that design was based on NLC and TTF
• Part of global collaboration -
• Close collaboration with ANL, SLAC and AD/TD
• Produced BCD in Fall 2005 now working on RDR
• First group to give Cost estimates to GDE
• FNAL FY07 request for global controls effort 2.5
  FTE
• ILCTA Controls test areas needed for cavity
  testing
• Work in progress for over a year.
• Has been ad hoc
• SLAC and ANL interested in collaborating a low
  level
• FNAL FY07 request for ILTCA controls 11 FTE
• Efforts managed jointly (at least budget
  authority) past spring
• Margaret Votava task lead, Mike Kucera
  (AD/Controls) deputy

Global - RDR

• First pass at WBS and costing for RDR meeting in
  Vancouver
• CD provided experience and expertise in
  electronics packaging, network architecture,
  commodity computing, data acquisition, and data
  storage.
• CD worked with other divisions to provide LLRF,
  architecture, and remote operations expertise.
• Effort is very collaborative among ANL, FNAL, and
  SLAC
• KEK participates in weekly meetings (horrible
  time difference)
• DESY on and off
• FNAL Personnel
• AD Brian Chase (LLRF), Jim Patrick (architecture)
• CD Patty McBride, Vince Pavlicek, Margaret
  Votava, Gustavo Cancelo
• PPD Erik Gottschalk (remote operations)

4
Global RD

• ATCA
• Just purchased ATCA crate to be delivered
• Goals joint effort with ILC instrumentation
• Gain practical experience in technology
• Test viability as a technology for
  instrumentation
• Build a ATCA digitizer board for use at NML
• Primarily AD effort (Charlie Briegel and Alexei
  Sememov)
• FY07 RD proposals
• High availability studies
• Gap analysis study evaluating existing
  control system
• Timing and phase distribution

ILCTA - Controls Management

• Budget, Effort reporting, Project planning, etc.
• Workforce very distributed
• AD horizontal test facility, cryo
• CD A0/TTF test facility, infrastructure
• PPD cryo, epics expertise
• TD vertical test facility
• Difficult to manage
• Some staffing is best effort people only have
  time to do it on the side.
• Controls system schizophrenia
• DOOCS, EPICS, Labview, Matlab
• Visions/priorities from the top not always clear,
  sometimes conflicting
• Communication weak
• Not successfully utilizing SLAC personnel nor
  ANL, but ANL may have to back out of ILCTA due to
  lack of funds.

ILCTA Controls system choices

• ACNET
• Not seriously considered a choice, but still
  highly favored by AD personnel
• DOOCS
• Provides interfaces to other controls system
  including epics
• Hardware coming from TTF will most likely have
  DOOCS interfaces already available.
• EPICS
• Provides interfaces to other controls system
  except DOOCS
• Utility provided by DESY to do this, but needs
  upgrading.
• On our todo list, would be nice to get ANL help
• APACS
• Underlying proprietary software used for MDB and
  NML cryo
• IFIX
• Commercial SCADA system will be used to
  commission MDB cryo
• Engineering development tools
• Preferred method (by test stand users) to do
  curve fitting, data analysis
• Labview, Matlab. Licenses are expensive,
  especially if floating

7
ILCTA - Committees

• Helps to provide consistency across test areas
• Electronic Logbook
• 8 member team, cross divisional, cross lab (SLAC,
  ANL). Headed by Rob Kutschke (CD)
• Completed evaluation end of June
• Recommended CRL (ie, CRL 6 months development
  work)
• Awaiting cross divisional agreement on support
• Data Management
• Just forming. Headed by Peter Kasper (AD)
• Started as an idea to manage data produced at
  FNAL ILCTA test areas, but has grown to be
  repository of production data for all cavity data
  produced in the US.
• Something ready in 6 months

8
ILCTA A0

• oldest of the areas, Several components from
  DESY
• Done on a shoestring budget, HW and SW done
  piecemeal, includes some components from DESY.
• ACNET cryo
• DOOCS LLRF, BPM, HRM, Signal Generator (GPIB)
  (FANL/CD)
• EPICS
• photoinjector, 3.9 GHz coupler conditioning,
  capture cavity 2 (before) - (mostly CD)
• Sequencer for coupler conditioning not yet done,
  both in DOOCS and EPICS
• Who is in charge of coupler conditioning across
  test areas?
• Ron Rechenmacher (CD), Luciano Piccoli (CD)

9
ILCTA MDB

• horizontal test facility and coupler processing
• Including capture cavity 2
• Cryo is EPICS based (providing human interface to
  APACS)
• Driving effort for EPICS only
• Wrote EPICS interface to LLRF (previously only
  DOOCS) (FNAL/AD)
• EPICS Interfaces for
• Timing board (FNAL/AD)
• Interlocks (FNAL/PPD)
• Signal generator?
• Dennis Nicklaus (AD), Paul Joireman (AD), Sharon
  Lackey (AD), Vladimir Sirotenko (PPD), Geoff
  Savage (PPD)

10
ILCTA IB1, NML

• IB1 (mostly TD)
• Cryo is IFIX. Might consider EPICS
• Headed for EPICS only
• Will use LLRF EPICS port from AD
• Extensive Labview expertise
• Jerzy Nogiec (TD), Dennis Shpakov (TD)
• NML (mostly not done -) )
• Requirements still being discussed
• Cryo modeled after MDB (EPICS)
• Photoinjector (with DOOCS interface) will not
  move?
• ATCA digitizer board test site

11
FY07 Goals

• Global group
• RDR complete
• Big strides in TDR
• Understand viable control system alternatives
• ATCA outlook
• ILCTA
• Vertical and Horizontal test stands are fully
  automated
• Controls for cryomodule test facility (NML) is
  designed.
• Data management system/Elogbook is in place for
  all test areas
