Worked at CERN with ”control systems” for experiments in mid 80’s -> mid 90’s
Own software development company for 8 years (20 employees) -> logistics and automation for industry
Management career in Mobile telecom during 2000’s
Automation ”control systems” in food industry for a couple of years
Now - head of the ICS division at ESS

3. My challenge today Go through 37 slides in 25 minutes
milliLampson /mil'*-lamp`sn/ n.
A unit of talking speed, abbreviated mL. Most people run about 200 milliLampsons.
The eponymous Butler Lampson (a CS theorist and systems implementor highly regarded among hackers) goes at A few people speak faster. This unit is sometimes used to compare the (sometimes widely disparate) rates at which people can generate ideas and actually emit them in speech. For example, noted computer architect C. Gordon Bell (designer of the PDP-11) is said, with some awe, to think at about 1200 mL but only talk at about 300; he is frequently reduced to fragments of sentences as his mouth tries to keep up with his speeding brain.

16. ICS - construction phase value envelope (tentative)
The ICS value envelope for the construction phase shows the aggressive project schedule
A majority of the ICS value is labor based effort (i.e. not equipment)
The ICS estimated headcount envelope reveals large in-kind/supplier opportunities

17. We are hiring! We are looking for This year -> 6 - 8 positions
Controls system integrators
Embedded system engineers
Control system administrators
Infrastructure software developers
Control system software developers
Safety and protection engineers
This year -> positions
Contact Annika Nordt, Daniel Piso Fernández, Susanne Regnell

18. ESS In-kind contributions
A large portion of the ICS budget is allocated as In-kind contributions
The following statements define an In-kind contribution
The in-kind contribution model constitutes an enormous challenge for ESS in general and ICS in particular
A non-cash contribution by a Member Country to ESS
In the form of:
Technical components for the facility (also personnel needed to perform the testing, installation and/or integration)
R&D work (also personnel needed to perform the work)
Personnel made available for specific tasks during the construction phase
Other products and services relevant for the completion of the facility
One can say that the In-kind concept at ESS reflects the collaborative spirirt of the project.
ESS is a european project – a faclity built by Europe.
Competence built in the home country, jobs are created etc

23. Software team status The software scope is being reworked
When the scope definition has matured, we believe that significant parts of the software development scope can be packaged for in-kind contributions
A call for tender for software development services is ongoing
Connections to the open communities are very important going forward.

24. My statement about community interaction
Having worked with open-source and community based software for over 20 years, I believe I understand the basic mechanisms behind
ESS/ICS will make heavy use of community based software in the EPICS family (and others)
ESS/ICS is determined to participate in and contribute to the communities with an open-source approach

25. ICS vision and mission statements
ICS vision statement
ESS operated efficiently, reliably and safely, with a control system that everyone loves
ICS mission
The ICS division shall provide and maintain world-class and cost-efficient control, protection and safety systems and services for the ESS facility.
The division shall develop competence and innovative solutions that can be shared in the community through open processes

26. ICS Hardware platforms

27. Three layer strategy - control systems at ESS
ICS has adopted a three layer strategy for implementing the control system based on signal speed
A custom made platform based on microTCA for applications with data acquisition exceeding 100 kHz
The CPU will run EPICS and the FPGA will have a complete application development environment
For slower signals, EtherCAT will be used as a real-time fieldbus with good price/performance ratio
Synchronization and event information are key for applications where a full custom platform solution would be too costly
Low speed signals are handled with commercially available PLC systems from Siemens
This is a cost-effective solution that addresses ESS reliability and maintainability requirements
The PLC:s will be connected to EPICS for further integration into the control system
A custom made microTCA board with a powerful FPGA and a CPU. A FPGA framework constitutes the development environment. The CPU runs EPICS

28. Hardware development status
Development of the high-end electronic platform is started as an in-kind activity with Switzerland
Development of EtherCAT-specific modules for ESS/ICS usage is being initiated as an in-kind activity with Estonia
More in-kind opportunities exist for development of microTCA electronics and platform management
A call for tender for hardware development services and automation software development services will open soon

29. SAFETY AND PROTECTION

30. Personnel safety and Machine protection
Machine protection shall prevent and mitigate damage to the machine in accordance with beam and facility related availability requirements
Machine protection shall protect the machine from unnecessary beam-induced activation having a potential to cause long-term damage to the machine or increase maintenance times
The Personnel safety system shall prevent and mitigate any risk for damage or danger to personnel as identified by risk analyses and assessments
The Personnel safety system shall be designed and implemented in compliance with safety standards such as IEC61508

31. Safety and protection status
The Personnel safety system is nearing design completion and implementation of subsystems has started. The PSS will be an ESS in-house activity
The machine protection architecture is being enhanced and clarified as recommended by an external review committee in
Meanwhile, parts of the Machine protection system, and the Fast beam interlock system in particular, is being developed as an in-kind collaboration with Switzerland
We are looking for a solution for radiation monitors and oxygen depletion monitors

32. Control SYSTEM
INFRASTRUCTURE

33. Control system infrastructure
In the scope for the control system infrastructure is infrastructure required for the Control System to operate
A centralized ESS Control Room, which allows the entire facility to be controlled from the same location
Operations consoles, servers and file storage required for operation
Networks between Control boxes, Timing system units, Control Room, Data Centre and other control equipment
Efforts and material required for connecting devices to the ICS

34. Control system infrastructure status
The design and implementation of the control room has been initiated as an in-kind collaboration with Norway
We are investigating possibilities of creating in-kind collaborations for the data centre associated to the control system
Design and planning of the control system network is ongoing. Some specialized tasks such as cyber security issues are being explored as in-kind contributions

35. Summary

36. Summary ICS Main achievements last 6 months
ICS has continued its organizational development
A deputy project manager and a software group leader have been recruited and are now active
The operational model for the division has been defined and communicated
A comprehensive re-planning and coordination effort has progressed
The new deputy project manager is leading this work
In particular, the ICS software scope (currently >40% of the total ICS budget), is being reworked
Continued progress has been made in defining in-kind agreements
Three first contracts with Norway and Switzerland, more than 10% of the ICS in-kind goal
Work with existing in-kind partners in France and Spain are progressing slowly
New opportunities are being explored with Estonia
Main challenges ahead
The definition of a comprehensive plan for the ICS project until the end of construction is a priority.
It will be a crucial tool for developing a competence and capacity roadmap and other decision support documents
The in-kind situation is a challenge for ICS
Efforts are being made to structure and improve systematic work with in-kind opportunities.
