Due to the anticipated complexity of the whole PANDA DCS and the expected staged assembly of PANDA detector, the DCS is highly needed to be modular and scalable. In order to accomplish this, each PANDA sub-detector or sub-system is envisaged to be basically autonomous but manageable from a supervisory layer. | ||||||||||

This is the wiki page of the DCS Subgroup. This subgroup has been established during the September 2007 PANDA collaboration meeting at GSI. The architecture of the PANDA DCS and the individual components were ready for implementation and deployment, respectively, by the end of 2009. Actual testing, benchmarking, component development and streamlining will happen along with the completion of the detector until commissioning date. To more appropriately reflect its scope, the DCS group should be renamed ECS (Experiment Control System), so for a while,
both acronyms might appear throughout the documentation.

The liaison persons are expected to participate to the DCS subgroup meetings. The list can be found here: http://panda-controls.gsi.de/DB/interactiveTable.php?name=Subgroups The heads of the detector groups are in charge of collecting DCS requirements (regarding physics signals, parameters, interdependencies) and liaising with the DCS group. Detector groups are invited to present their plans/ideas regarding DCS within the subgroups session during our collaboration meetings. The heads of the detector groups are invited to volunteer.Milestones

Early contributions have the chance to set the standards and significantly help other detector subgroups.

The architecture of the PANDA DCS and the individual components will be then ready for implementation and deployment, respectively, by the end of 2009. Actual testing, benchmarking, component development and streamlining will happen along with the completion of the detector until commissioning date. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
