Description
Commercial Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are being increasingly used at CERN. In the research domain an extensive evaluation of such systems was made on behalf of the LHC experiments under the auspices of the Joint Controls Project (JCOP). The resulting
tender led to the selection of PVSS, from an Austrian company ETM, to be used as the basis of the control systems for the LHC experiments. In parallel to this activity, the CERN Controls Board had set up a SCADA Working Group with the mandate of surveying the usage of SCADA
systems at CERN and to make a recommendation on how the diversity of such systems might be reduced. This has resulted in a recommendation from the CERN Controls Board, which is comprised of the Group Leaders of the five CERN controls group as well as the project leaders of JCOP
and the LHC Controls Project (LHC-CP), that PVSS should be used for future CERN projects requiring a SCADA product.
The intention of the PVSS Seminar is twofold. Firstly, to introduce potential new users to PVSS and its wide range of capabilities. Secondly, through a series of project presentations, to inform current and future users of PVSS of the work which has already been done with it at CERN and also to highlight the resulting knowledge that has been
gained. In addition, the concept of a Framework of configured components, tools and facilities built on top of PVSS to reduce further the development effort required by the control system developers, as well as to ensure coherent development, will be introduced. Adequate time will be reserved for question and answer sessions. This seminar is
open to anyone at CERN. All people working in a controls related domain are encouraged to attend.
