What are we working on - Globally

• Produce RDR and now EDR at the end of 2009
• or 2010 or 2011 depending on who you talk to
• EDR requirements are not well defined
• Manage/conduct Global RD plan in units called
  Work Packages. First draft done.
• Collaboration primarily with ANL and to a lesser
  extent SLAC
• Small FNAL effort for RDR/EDR.
• Steve Wolbers (was Patty), Bakul Banerjee,
  Margaret Votava, Vince Pavlicek, Mark Bowden,
  Bill Haynes, Jim Patrick, Sharon Lackey
• Weekly telecon meetings.
• Consumes all FNAL FTEs paid for by the GDE
• RDR done except
• for technical notes that expand details
• WBS type things like complete basis of estimate
• Placeholder for other things like controls effort
  needed for instrumentation RD
• Ron/Lucianos trip(s) to DESY and KEK for HOM BPM
  Testing
• Charlie Briegels ATCA work for ATCA BPMs at NML

ATCA

• Advanced Telecommunications Architecture
• Emerging Standard for High Availability
  Architectures
• One of the ILC Controls Challenges. Up time of
  99.999
• Being really pushed by SLAC as part of the
  architecture for ILC controls.
• Offers hot swap of boards, redundant power
  supplies and networking
• Telecommunications gt digital.
• No commercial analog boards
• Commercial plug ATCA workshop as part of RT
  conference on Sunday April, 29th.
• Hardware/software tutorials
• Talks on User Experience and
• 80 registration

ILC Controls RD

• High Availability
• Evaluating ATCA as a standard outside of
  instrumentation
• Diagnostic Interface Layer
• Evaluation of high availability software
  techniques in all layers
• Standards, standardization, quality assurance
• Timing/feedback
• Precision timing and RF phase distribution
• Extensive reliance on automation and beam based
  feedback
• Controls system studies
• Conflict Avoidance
• Fault detection and recovery
• Scalability
• RD needed to configure/control/monitor a
  control system as complex as the ILC.
• Remote operations
• Provide a framework which is supportive of remote
  operations RD such as role based access.

ILC Controls Work Packages

• Encompasses FY08 and FY09 RD Funding
• Not much. 5.6M in FY08. Includes salaries.
• another 4M for SCRF, but this is really FNAL
  money
• Given to ART Global systems leaders on Wednesday.
• John Carwardine (ANL) and Ray Larsen (SLAC)
• More than just controls. Includes
  instrumentation, alignment
• Work Packages 1-2 page description
• High Availability
• Claude Saunders (ANL) Lead

Commercial Break for Glossary

• SMTF -gt ILCTA -gt SCRF
• All are Fermilab centric, i.e., no other lab is
  building a facility called ILCTA
• SMTF Superconducting Module Test Facility.
• Initially just the work being done at A0
• ILCTA ILC Test Accelerator
• Includes all ILC test areas. A0 (prototype of NML
  and 3.9 GHz testing program), VTS_at_IB1, HTS_at_MDB,
  and NML
• SCRF Superconducting RF
• Renamed in light of DOE funding request. Didnt
  want it to be solely an ILC test facility but
  allow for all kinds of accelerator RD.
• VTS Vertical Test Stand, VTF.
• Just one for now, more are planned. Need new cryo
  system at IB1
• HTS Horizontal Test Stand, HTF.
• Just one for now, more are planned. Will need new
  klystron

8
More Glossary NML/CTF

• NML SCRF test area with beam
• DOE Review recommendation was to build a CTF
  (cryomodule test facility) with no beam. Similar
  to VTF/HTF, but for cryomodule.
• FNAL still believes beam area critical.

9
SCRF Requests

• Controls RD is focused in two areas
• RD to create stable and robust controls system
  for SCRF RD program
• RD for ILC Controls
• DOE request address only the SCRF RD program
• Want to make ourselves available for ILC Controls
  RD
• Control system is recognized critical for ILC
  success
• NML is strong site for controls RD
• Running with ILC beam parameters
• Conveniently located near institutions involved
  in global controls effort (ANL, FNAL)
• Close collaborators with others (DESY, SLAC).
• Not much recommended GDE funding in near term,
  but will come.

10
SCRF Control Goals

• Provide an operationally stable system for the
  automatic procedures needed for cavity and
  cryomodule testing
• Provide a consistent controls infrastructure for
  all the facilities VTS, HTS, NML.
• VTS controls in the SNS package. Interface to
  common electronic logbook/data management
  systems.
• Provide an infrastructure that can readily
  integrate components developed at collaborating
  institutions
• Provide a work area conducive ILC Controls RD
• These goals are not always compatible.
• Balance needs to be found

11
SCRF Focus

• Infrastructure support
• Core controls system(s) support, development, and
  configuration management including code packaging
  and distribution
• Controls systems include EPICS, DOOCS and
  diagnostic systems such as LabView and MatLab
• Develop cavity data management system
• Additional component support including system
  management, electronic logbook, cavity data
  management system
• Test area specific
• NML specific development
• Develop timing and clock system that are required
  for first beam operation
• Develop interfaces for new components for
  instrumentation and control
• Develop controls interface for ATCA BPMs
• Develop/configure NML application software
• HTS/VTS ongoing support updating processes, and
  user interfaces as more experience with the
  cavities is gleaned.

  worldwide. Cut back to North America.
• EDMS issue, but has been in controls WBS
• Team established last summer to evaluate
  alternatives, make recommendations, and develop
  system

  Jamie Blowers, Claude Saunders (ANL), Marc
  Paterno, Janice Nelson (SLAC)
• Major options
• DESY system data centric
• JLAB system process centric
• Commercial solution - costly
• Roll our own
• External requirements review last Friday
• Went well report expected by Thursday
• Included DESY and and JLAB
• Proposal review to come shortly (couple of weeks)

16
Global Infrastructure

• Establishing EPICS installation layout
• Epics has its own build system that is different
  than the FNAL/CD standard way.
• Primarily paths are hardcoded, not determined via
  environment variables. This has a large
  implication on build and distribution strategies.
  
• Proposal next week
• Naming convention for EPICS variables
• Proposal in AD Doc database
• http//beamdocs.fnal.gov/AD-public/DocDB/ShowDocum
  ent
• Consistent for HINS and ILC
• Make data transition between DOOCS and EPICS
  easier
• ILC Official Document database
• Not well configured yet (IMHO)
• Documents can only have one topic
• No topic/subtopic organization for ILCTA
• Will get summer student to relocate things from
  the docdb demo/plone site to here.
• System Management
• Connie/Troy helping here (Thanks!)
• Custom kernels, many behind AD firewall, in
  remote locations, etc.
• CRL installed and in use

17
VTS

• Not much to say
• Controls system in LabView. Provided by JLab as
  part of MOU.
• Needs to interface to CRL and cavity data
  management system.

  problematic. Working on replacing it with an X86
  running Linux.
• Still includes ACNET for RF interface
• New interlock crates with additional digitizers
  will fix this
• Want to Alarm/Archive in EPICS
• Get Doocs2Epics interface running.
• Upgrade DOOCS Driver with new server (firmware
  has changed)
• Automation, Automation, Automation

Overall NML Status

• Lower priority than other ILCTA areas
  (HTF/VTS/A0)
• gt suffers in schedule delay because personnel
  often the same.
• Instrumentation effort has discovered that Ron
  (and Luciano) are great at integration.
• ILCTA controls effort estimated at 12 FTEs. Jan
  efforts reports show 3.5 and February 3.1.
• UofC magnets moved, building cleaned and painted
• Beam line chalked in on the floor
• Control room ceiling being retiled, carpeting
  scheduled. CPUs about ready to order
• Building big enough for 1-2 cryomodule (8
  cavities).
• 1 ILC RF station has 3 cryomodules
• First arrivals unclear
• CC2 Move from MDB
• Photocathode prep and injection system from INFN
  in the fall
• 1st cryomodule

28
NML Controls Work
