2 Slow Control Architecture
RCU Local Slow Control Interface commands error BC Ethernet central DCS interrupt warnings FEC Result Memory DCS board Local Slow Control bus ~ I2C protocol: 2 unidirectional serial data lines 1 serial clock line

3 Board Controller Enable the clocks and the power supply of the board
Control the power state, voltages, currents and temperature of the FECs 4-channel ADC with a temperature sensor and I2C Interface compare the result with a configurable thresholds Register the errors of the board Alert the RCU (INTERRUPT) in case of an abnormal situation in the board Control the enable of the transceivers in INPUT or OUTPUT Launch the ALTRO TEST MODE isolate the card from the Readout bus set the ALTRO in Test Mode store the data with a number of words and under-sampling ratio configurable Scan the EVENT LENGTH of the ALTRO for the Readout optimization BC is master of the ALTRO set 128-bit EVL register (1 bit per channel) send the EVL register value in bit words to the ALTRO bus Interface Counters L1 and L2 counters Sampling clock counter Data Strobe counter

5 Slow Control Architecture
RCU Local Slow Control Interface commands BC Ethernet central DCS interrupt warnings FEC Result Memory DCS board Local Slow Control bus ~ I2C protocol: 2 unidirectional serial data lines 1 clock line

6 Instruction Sequence

7 Instruction Sequence Every transaction requires the following sequence (6 words) start condition (1 clock cycle) 1 byte (9 clock cycles) bit [0] : read / write bit [1..4] : FEC address bit [5] = x bit [6] : bcast bit [7] = x WAIT FOR THE ACKNOWLEDGE FROM THE ADDRESSED CARD bit [0..4] : register address to access in the BC bit [5..7] : x 2 bytes (18 clock cycles) bit [0 ..7]: DATA WAIT FOR THE ACKNOWLEDGE FROM THE ADDRESSED CARD AFTER EACH BYTE stop condition (1 clock cycle)

8 Local Slow Control Architecture
Local Slow Control Module Instruction Sequence (6 words) address Instruction Sequence Builder Sequencer data command addresser we sda_in Send information about: write or read cycle FEC address, broadcast register address BC scl MASTER sda_out RESULT Memory

9 Normal mode The DCS sends commands continuously to the SCM for monitoring the FEC Temperature Digital and Analog Voltages Digital and Analog Currents Control of triggers send in broadcast the command to latch the counters in the BCs compare the value of all the counters The DCS reads the values and controls the margins of each parameter RCU Local Slow Control Interface DCS board commands BC Master CENTRAL DCS FEC Result Memory Local Slow Control bus

10 Board Controller, ERRORS
Errors asserted by the BC Temperature over threshold Analog or Digital voltages under threshold Analog or Digital currents over threshold Power supply error (related to the ALTRO or the PASA) Missing sampling clk Protocol errors (from the ALTRO bus or the Slow Control) ALTRO error Error asserted by the voltage regulators that supply: GTL transceivers FPGA Clock distribution EPROM mADC THESE ERRORS ASSERT THE INTERRUPT OR THE ERROR LINE power regulator ALTRO ps_error power regulator PASA ps_error power regulator GTL, FPGA, clock interrupt power regulator EPROM, mADC interrupt

11 INTERRUPT Different procedures will start depending of the error: RCU
Local Slow Control Interface commands interrupt BC Master warnings DCS board FEC Result Memory Local Slow Control bus What the Slow Control Module does if the RCU receives an interrupt ? The SCM starts polling the error register of each FEC (via the Local Slow Control bus) to identify the source (which FEC and the error) Different procedures will start depending of the error:

12 INTERRUPT “Hard” errors “Soft” errors
Analog or Digital currents over thresholds Power supply errors ALTRO or PASA power supply errors Error in the power regulator that supply GTL transceivers, FPGA, clock distribution, EPROM and monitor ADC Switch off immediately the card and inform the DCS “Soft” errors Temperature over threshold Analog or Digital voltages under threshold Missing sampling clk Remove the card from the READOUT LIST, mask that error in the BC and inform the DCS

13 In case of INTERRUPT: BC Local Slow Control Module Instruction
Sequence address Instruction Sequence Builder Sequencer data command addresser we Send information about: write or read cycle FEC address, broadcast register address sda_in scl MASTER sda_out BC warning to the DCS Interrupt driver Interrupt Readout List Depending of the Interrupt: Switch off the card, inform the DCS Remove the card from the Readout List, mask the error, inform the DCS

14 Status of the work Completed tested Performance:
All the functions of the BC: Write/Read the configuration parameters Read all the parameters of the board (temp, voltages, currents, counters …) ALTRO Test mode ALTRO Readout optimization Error flags Interrupt assertion The communication between the SCM and the BC Performance: The Local Slow Control network runs at a clock frequency of 5 MHz. The protocol requires the transmission of a large number of control words. A single 16-data bit transaction, e.g., requires 8 µs. When an interrupt occurs, the RCU starts polling the error/status register of all FECs of one branch. This action could require up to 100 µs in the case of a readout partition with 13 FEC/branch.

15 Status of the work Work to be done:
Complete definition and implementation of the response to an Interrupt in the SCM Definition of all the routines in the DCS In normal mode (monitor the status of the cards) Safety procedures in case of problems
