Description
The Resistive Plate Chamber system is composed
by 912 double-gap chambers equipped with about 10^4 frontend
boards. The correct and safe operation of the RPC system
requires a sophisticated and complex online Detector Control
System, able to monitor and control 10^4 hardware devices
distributed on an area of about 5000 m^2. The RPC DCS acquires,
monitors and stores about 10^5 parameters coming from the
detector, the electronics, the power system, the gas, and cooling
systems. The DCS system, the first results and performances, obtained during the 2007 and 2008 CMS cosmic runs, will be described here.
