Abstract title
Control and data acquisition systems for accelerators, detectors and infrastructure are traditionally considered as independent, loosely coupled, process- or equipment- specific and consequently should rely on different technical and architectural solutions. However, the experience acquired with the LHC has shown that common solutions can successfully be applied resulting in significant cost and manpower savings. Therefore a study is launched to identify the commonalities and specificity of the Future circular collider (FCC) controls and data acquisition systems together with an assessment of the key numbers relevant for estimating cost and risk. After a brief recall of the control and data acquisition duties, this presentation is twofold. First we conduct a comparative review of the LHC and potential FCC systems in order to identify similarities and differences , to extrapolate the key numbers for FCC and to present the areas of required research and development. Second we would like to present a cooperation model where the various developments and innovative ideas related to the control and data acquisition systems could be shared, evaluated and promoted, from this early stage of the project.
