1. European Organization for Nuclear Research PLC services Jerónimo Ortolá, Jacky Brahy EN-ICE Workshop 23 April 2009

2. European Organization for Nuclear Research Outline EN-ICE-PLC mandate GUAPI working group PLC spare parts stock Deliverables

3. European Organization for Nuclear Research The Mandate Support for the selected families of PLCs, namely the Siemens-S7 and Schneider Unity-compatible series as well as Profibus and CANbus support. It manages the technical interface with the PLC suppliers. Centralizes knowledge for the selection of the hardware and in its configuration in order to interface with the SCADA systems and with the process. Develops or provides assistance for the development of applications using the CERN frameworks or internal group standards. Maintains the developed applications during their lifecycle or transfers the necessary competences to the users.

4. European Organization for Nuclear Research PLC support to users Help on various steps Capture the goals and requirements. Definition of the global control system architecture. Selection of adequate software and hardware components. Software and hardware deployment. Upgrade strategy and maintenance.

5. European Organization for Nuclear Research GUAPI working group GUAPI: Groupe Utilisateurs Automates Programmables Industriels Created to interact with the users in order to: Gather problems, needs and suggestions to be forwarded to the PLC suppliers in our regular meetings. Identify generic developments which could be created, maintained and supported by users teams. Avoid duplication of efforts by identifying existing competence and solutions. Elaborate coherent policy for spare parts, bug follow-up, software and hardware upgrades. Share expertise and development CERN-wide. Determine the necessary training

6. European Organization for Nuclear Research GUAPI: Organisation Accelerator Sector Users Experimental Sector Users EN-ICE Support members PLC support PROFIBUS support OPC support CAN support GUAPI (20 members)

7. European Organization for Nuclear Research GUAPI: The Users Act as representatives of their group or cluster of groups. Review/maintain the Users list in their group. Promote cooperative action for PLC & Fieldbus within their group. 330 users at CERN

8. European Organization for Nuclear Research GUAPI: The Support members EN-ICE-PLC section handles Bi-annual meeting with Siemens & Schneider. Management of contracts. Technical issues. Distribution of PLC development software. PLC and Profibus support (PLC-Support@cern.ch). EN-ICE-SIC section handles Tools (Software repositories, software distribution…) Distribution of CAN related software. OPC and CAN support (ITControls.Support@cern.ch).

9. European Organization for Nuclear Research GUAPI: PLC spare parts stock Service to be provided One central critical store at CERN, for all PLC users accessible 24/24 with a complete but reduced as common catalogue. One store at each supplier premises with a delivery delay of 24 hours maximum. Status 300 references for more than 10000 assets for entire CERN. The service is provided by the manufacturers. To be accepted by the CERN management Expected operational July 2009

10. European Organization for Nuclear Research Deliverables PARADIS: Repository for PLC application distribution. DIAMON PLC agent. Diagnostic and monitoring facility. CVS usage guidelines for PLC developers. Software distribution with CMF. Database support for PLC users – CERN Catalogue of equipment – Tools to populate databases for functional components – Asset database for component tracking. Set of demonstrators and training facilities.
