1. Control and Monitoring System / EPICS Pete Owens Daresbury Laboratory

2. CM19 8-10-07Pete Owens – Daresbury Laboratory General Philosophy Control system is based on EPICS. In general, individual groups are to be responsible for interfacing their own equipment to EPICS DL will provide overall infrastructure and support In agreed cases, DL will take responsibility for developing individual EPICS applications eg. Beamline PSUs, Decay Solenoid PSU etc. Naming convention Long-term support. Who will take on operational responsibility for day-to-day management of systems?

6. CM19 8-10-07Pete Owens – Daresbury Laboratory Network Network layout drawn up, circulated to interested parties and agreed. All sockets will be configurable between MICE Control network, Visitor network, RAL office network or telephone Rack and all network equipment purchased and ready for installation To be transferred to RAL on Wednesday

8. CM19 8-10-07Pete Owens – Daresbury Laboratory Personnel Safety PPS hardware and logic has been designed, procured and the racks built and tested. An EPICS interface will be provided for remote monitoring of operation. XML gateway to be added to feed information back to the ISIS control system. Still some issues remaining about the hall search philosophy, siting of search buttons etc.

9. CM19 8-10-07Pete Owens – Daresbury Laboratory Beamline PSUs Racks built up – imminent delivery to RAL 12 Danfysik System 9000 PSUs RS422 serial comms to IOC EPICS database EDM user interface

10. CM19 8-10-07Pete Owens – Daresbury Laboratory Decay Solenoid PSU The power supply has been tested at DL Control electronics have been reverse engineered PLC system was old, complex and difficult to support so has been abandoned in favour of an EPICS IOC Quench detection and heater control electronics have been refurbished and tested New control software scheme has been agreed IOC being built up.

11. CM19 8-10-07Pete Owens – Daresbury Laboratory Hydrogen System Meetings have been held to discuss control requirements for the H2 system Little progress possible until the decay solenoid system is complete.

12. CM19 8-10-07Pete Owens – Daresbury Laboratory Target Sheffield group responsible for providing the control interface to the target drive system DL will provide training, advice if necessary

13. CM19 8-10-07Pete Owens – Daresbury Laboratory Tracker Imperial to develop their own EPICS software to control the tracker. DL will provide training, advice if necessary

14. CM19 8-10-07Pete Owens – Daresbury Laboratory RF System Design review planned to be held at DL in the next couple of months. This will include control requirements

15. CM19 8-10-07Pete Owens – Daresbury Laboratory Control Room  2 Servers  2 Console PCs  Currently being configured at DL
