3. 3 June 2003U. Frankenfeld3 ROC Low Voltage Wiener PL 500 –5 channel/crate –1 - 2 channels per voltage for FEE Prototype used for tests –OPC from IT/CO Interface: Wiener OPC still beta version (delay ~1.5 y) Hardware limitation: –No indication of status (mainly needed for prototype and test, no access in Alice) –No individual switching –Setting voltages only if crate is off

4. 3 June 2003U. Frankenfeld4 ROC High Voltage ISEG Prototype for tests Interface: OPC beta release (with problems) Final (and last) in June (working to specs?) –Final version: no individual switching on/off per channel Limitation of proto OPC (temporary solution) –No individual switching of channels –Not nice (but ok?) –No Hardware limitation (ref. to user manual)

5. 3 June 2003U. Frankenfeld5 ROC Cooling Wago μPLC Prototype tested –Ok –Not radiation hard –Study of thermal behavior of ROC/FEE 2 nd Prototype: –ELMB solution –Under test/development at thermal Lab (CERN) –Set point for cooling plant Highest requirements on temperature stability –Prototype for all systems
