Description
The talk focuses on the results and the experience gained from the deployment of a
new control system on LEIR during its running-in. From a technical viewpoint, the
control system of LEIR presents challenging features. It is the result of the
integration of new components foreseen for the LHC into the existing controls
infrastructure deployed on the CERN [PS Complex] accelerators. As the LHC-like
controls have been used for the first time in an operational context during the
LEIR running-in in 2005, their successful operation represents a very valuable step
in the process of the LHC Controls system validation. Moreover, LEIR also has faced
a cultural challenge: make the operators confident in changing their habits and in
using new controls despite some issues or reliability and maturity.
The talk provides a look to the main strategies undertaken to achieve this double
objective as well as the difficulties encountered and the lessons learnt in view of
the LHC operation.
