15:10 → 15:20 Tile Cesium status update

Speakers: Nick Shalanda, Oleg Solovyanov (LPCA Clermont-Ferrand (FR)), Sanya Solodkov (University of the Witwatersrand (ZA))

Tile Cesium system is now doing hardware and software integration test at B.175

One EMP board is connected to 8 EMCI nodes, located in TileCs boards

A Quasar based OPC-UA server has been developed and is being tested.

A bridge between OPC-UA and TDAQ IS, written in Pyton, is used to convert the information, and allow legacy software to be used.

OPC-UA data is archived to InfluxDB instance in DBOD service, using Telegraf utility.

It can be displayed by Grafana, running as PaaS at CERN cloud.

 

Further development might benefit from a second EMP board to debug operation with multiple servers, although we can also just start two OPC-UA servers on the same EMP.

More details in the recent TileWeek presentation.
