PANDA DCS Technical Design

The present structure of PANDA experiment involves several sub-detectors and sub-systems (Fig.1). The Slow Controls (SC) of each PANDA sub-detector and sub-system are planned to be monitored and controlled from a supervisory software application.

Line: 28 to 18

The autonomy of each PANDA DCS partition (Fig. 2) implies that the partition should be self-controllable. This means that, specific slow control software, tailored to configure, monitor and control the hardware devices belonging to the partition, is required. Moreover, the partition specific software must be capable to share data with the supervisory layer.

In order to ensure compatible data sharing between the DCS supervisory layer and DCS partition, an EPICS Process Variable Gateway is required to be implemented by each PANDA DCS partition. Additionally, the PV Gateway will provide access rights administration and subnet interface.

In order to ensure compatible data sharing between the DCS supervisory layer and DCS partition, an EPICS Process Variable Gateway is required to be implemented by each PANDA DCS partition. Additionally, the PV Gateway will provide access rights administration and subnet interface.

The SC operation of each partition will be performed from a dedicated graphical user interface (GUI). The interface must ensure the accurate and safe operation of the partition hardware. The complete interface, or part of it, will be embedded in the PANDA supervisory software.

Line: 39 to 29

Because the device driver software support in EPICS is limited, the software development tools used to control the lowermost layer (Field Layer) are at the free choice of the developer. The only constrain here is that the software must be integrated in the control layer with the EPICS system. However, the recommendation is that the developer, in the early stages of design, should try implement, were is possible, the same hardware and software, with EPICS support, realized by other PANDA sub-systems.

In the past, an evaluation of several SCADA development packages ( PVSS, LabView, EPICS) was performed by a PANDA slow controls subgroup and the EPICS package was selected to be the main PANDA SC software development tool.

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.

Line: 28 to 28

The autonomy of each PANDA DCS partition (Fig. 2) implies that the partition should be self-controllable. This means that, specific slow control software, tailored to configure, monitor and control the hardware devices belonging to the partition, is required. Moreover, the partition specific software must be capable to share data with the 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.

Teleconferencing

Holger Brand created a virtual room FAIR Controls (Adobe Connect) dedicated to controls discussions for FAIR experiments. To arrange a meeting, please contact Holger and provide the date, time and subject.

ECS framework structure

It is very likely that the PANDA ECS will be a combination of various specialized systems integrated via a high-level framework. AFECS would be the umbrella system that would aggregate the data streams from slow controls, DAQ and online analysis.

How to write your own slow controls with EPICS and CSS

Find out here the full recipe of how to to this: DCS-HOWTO.pdf (PDF with links)

EPICS Wiki (Tutorials & Examples)

The EPICS wiki gives some programming specs and guidelines for how to write a simple GUI, send and control parameters, lists tutorials etc.

Examples and very friendly how-tos:

Easy start with EPICS and CSS: http://nuclear.gla.ac.uk/twiki/bin/view.pl/Main/CSSGUIs
A DIPOL GUI example: http://nuclear.gla.ac.uk/twiki/bin/view.pl/Main/DipolGUI

[The two links above now require authentication, which shouldn't be. Maybe the tutorials have been removed as the University of Glasgow is no longer a member of PANDA and DanProtopopescu is no longer working there. TobiasTriffterer, 11 Jun 2013]

PANDA CSS

We will maintain a PANDA-specific CSS version. To use this please visit:

Requirements Database

Our requirements database is available here: http://panda-controls.gsi.de/DB/ (its structure is described in DCSRequirementsDB). The detector subgroups should collect and enter (at least preliminary) numbers into this database by the end of 2008.

The online interface automatically produces EPICS *.db files based on the information from the databases, and some easy IOC test scripts.

Detector liaisons

There should be a liaison person for magnet, target and for each detector subsystem. 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

End of 2008 - have a complete set of DCS requirements in our Database
End of 2009 - PANDA toy EPICS system for testing and integration trials up and running
Start of 2010 - PANDA Electronic Logbook (http://panda-controls.gsi.de/DB/) up and running
End of 2010 - EPICS GUIs look and feel, examples and documentation widely available
Spring 2011 - Communicate on info time issues with the accelerator group
Spring 2011 - Get the FEE group closely involved (share/display rates, thresholds etc.)

Idea bank

To collect general and specific ideas in a place where it's easy for everyone to review and contribute, we set up a wiki where you are invited to visit/edit: IdeaBank

Hardware

SupportedHardware is a wiki describing the proposed/tested/supported sensor/control hardware for the PANDA ECS. Early contributions have the chance to set the standards and significantly help other detector subgroups. Please contribute.

Documentation

It is advisable that the members of the DCS group browse the documentation for EPICS, AFECS and MonALISA. PANDA ECS specific documentation will be linked/attached here as it is written.

PANDA DCS Technical Design

The present structure of PANDA experiment involves several sub-detectors and sub-systems (Fig.1). The Slow Controls (SC) of each PANDA sub-detector and sub-system are planned to be monitored and controlled from a supervisory software application.

In the past, an evaluation of several SCADA development packages ( PVSS, LabView, EPICS) was performed by a PANDA slow controls subgroup and the EPICS package was selected to be the main PANDA SC software development tool.

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.

The autonomy of each PANDA DCS partition (Fig. 2) implies that the partition should be self-controllable. This means that, specific slow control software, tailored to configure, monitor and control the hardware devices belonging to the partition, is required. Moreover, the partition specific software must be capable to share data with the supervisory layer.

In order to ensure compatible data sharing between the DCS supervisory layer and DCS partition, an EPICS Process Variable Gateway is required to be implemented by each PANDA DCS partition. Additionally, the PV Gateway will provide access rights administration and subnet interface.

The SC operation of each partition will be performed from a dedicated graphical user interface (GUI). The interface must ensure the accurate and safe operation of the partition hardware. The complete interface, or part of it, will be embedded in the PANDA supervisory software.

At the moment, the state of the art user interface to EPICS is supported by the Control System Studio (CSS) framework. The technical design of PANDA DCS is planned to provide a set of guidelines for naming conventions, and graphical interface look and feel, in order to guarantee the similarity of the independent developed modules and to simplify the integration.

The outcome of putting all the above requirements together is a PANDA DCS architecture based on a three-layer design – Supervisory, Control and Field layers. The highest level is the Supervisory one. The Control Layer is in the middle and it is the level where all the PANDA DCS partitions are connected. The Field Layer is embedded in each PANDA DCS Partition, and is made of all the devices and sensors used to monitor and control the sub-sytem.

Because the device driver software support in EPICS is limited, the software development tools used to control the lowermost layer (Field Layer) are at the free choice of the developer. The only constrain here is that the software must be integrated in the control layer with the EPICS system. However, the recommendation is that the developer, in the early stages of design, should try implement, were is possible, the same hardware and software, with EPICS support, realized by other PANDA sub-systems.

PANDA DCS Partitions

PANDA DCS partitions together with the DCS coordinators are summarized in the table below:

PANDA Sytem	DCS Partition	DCS Coordinators
Magnets	Solenoid	Jost Luehning
Magnets	Dipole	Jost Luehning

Muon system	Muon system	t.b.a.
Hypernuclei equipment	Hypernuclei	t.b.a.
	Services	t.b.a.

The team taking responsibility for the controls of a PANDA DCS partition is expected to provide:

implementation of controls for the hardware devices belonging to the Field Layer of the partition;
the software running on the Control Layer of the partition;
the partition GUI software;
the autonomous operation of the partition.

The PANDA DCS sub-system manager is responsible with:

the preparation of DCS technical design;
monitor (and guarantee) the implementation of the DCS technical design;
the integration of the DCS partitions in the supervisory layer;
organize the development of the DCS supervisory software.

It is very likely that the PANDA DCS will be a combination of various specialized systems integrated via a high-level framework. AFECS would be the umbrella system that would aggregate the data streams from slow controls, DAQ and online analysis.

 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.
