Alarm/warning monitoring:
statistics: add screenshot of plots for every meeting -> Mara
NA62 Straw 1 warning to tune -> Roberto (ongoing)
LHC vs non-LHC egroup for alarms/warnings (Michal to create ticket and add ref.number here): GMXR-32 , GNA-96
egroup for warnings to be added for LINAC, CMSmixers and NA62
We keep the full stop egroup for NA62.
Any upgrade of hardware or functionalities for non-LHC systems?
LINAC, NA62 use Siemens PLC: any plan to upgrade? -> Michal to check with BE
touch screen for LINAC B152. How much does it cost? -> Michal to check - 2000 to 3000e depend on the size - new touch screen will also require development of the touch screen application (touch screens recommended by BE-ICS: https://readthedocs.web.cern.ch/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=106594570)
Archiving/Smoothing/Database
To study Gianluca's presentation in particular for what concerns deadband for driver and database
Is it possible to compare the archiving configuration of a running system with the configuration stored somewhere? for example before deploying an upgrade. Michal to check with Marc - this is done in reverse engineering tool - currently whatever is set in the production is consider as correct configuration - Geraldine would like to keep it that way to make sure in future we are not going to loose anything - so the idea is to fix the archiving problem directly on the production system withot changing the reverse engineering tool rules
can we have a warning for variables archiving too much? Michal, Gianluca to investigate
Gas System Overview (Exhaust++)
Check what is possible in terms of statistics in winccoa -> Michal, Gianluca with Geraldine and CERN winccoa trainer - winccoa is not meant to be data analytic tool - solution from BE-ICS to be explore as potencial candidate for data analytic for GAS and CO2 cystems
Can we have the sum of blocked alarms? -> Michal - I checked the code and we have it already
AoB
Examples discussed:
CMS:
-Why PGS is half green.
Michal to check, describe and write few lines of proposal (JIRA:GCSUR-111)
-DT analysis is half green due to normal cycle --> DT top module is half green --> no good representation
Ticket open -TICKET NUMBER-. Just to follow. Modif will be done once back (JIRA: GCSUR-112)
-Humidifier DT forced off.
Introduce parameters to select if module is needed or not for run.
Change should not require stop/start of the system. Can we apply the same to purif? why today stop/start is required? (JIRA Purifier:vGCSUR-110) (JIRA humidifier: GCSUR-113)
Check if for RPC we have a parameter (for humidifier or for change without stop/start? I don't remember...) - Michal: there is no parameter,global ticket for humidifier modif already created (JIRA: GCSUR-113)
-Propagation of alarms to main pco requires creation of new alarms. True?
-Remove notification for propagation of alarms from child to parent -> Michal
-Alarm during maintenance: Michal to propose a solution to not stop interlocks but only notifications
How other groups are dealing with the same problem? -> Michal
ALICE:
ALIHMP_Di_61InPresAI
ALIHMP: red = backup active --> modify to something else: full green backup active. Full red backup pressure error, empty green during run when backup is not used.
--> it will be included during TPC upgrade (test will be needed) (JIRA:ALGCS-729)
NA62:
Straw: Backup alarms alarms added on PT6x79 and 6x75. To add also text. (JIRA:GNA-94)
RICH: Implementation warning/alarms on PT6125 ongoing -> Michal (JIRA:GNA-95)
CEDAR: Implementation warning/alarms on PT6104 or PT6105 to be defined -> Roberto
Description of alarms to be studied for the future. It requires new functionalities to be developed by SCADA team. Michal to add Roberto to jira ticket and to inform about future developments. is it correct? -MICHAL TO CHECK-(JIRA: ENS-26733 / UCPC-1052)
What is TIP? Michal to prepare a presentation for next meeting (JIRA:TIP-161)
Web page for main parameters to be developed by Gianluca. Now possible because all data are on GPN/DIP
Plots issues (some):
-auto-range (add details)
-problem saving plot config for some users (is it now solved?)
-changes are lost when zoom -> to be monitored (is it known/reported? -> Michal)
-in zoomed view for "dynamic trend" if I add something I have to close and open again -> to be monitored (is it known/reported? -> Michal) (JIRA: ENS-27012 )
Recipes not active info/warning.
As discussed in the past, something to prevent start-up of a system if recipes are not active
can be implemented before Run3? -> Michal to check -MICHAL TO CHECK- under discussion with Geraldine GCSSCD-202
Alarm/warning levels from winccoa
Is it possible to have a kind of download table --> from recipes? -> Gianluca, Michal --> to be discussed with Geraldine. News by mid-may (now busy with RICH2)
CANbus monitoring tools --> Gianluca, Michal (+ Marc?)
Canbus monitoring: Ethernet-CAN X model from anagate (Analytica). (up to 4 webmases can be connected)
http://www.anagate.de/en/products/AnaGateCANX4.htmhttp://www.anagate.de/en/products/AnaGateCANX4.htm
The integrate web interface of the CAN interface looks like the following. (you can see if there are errors on the bus, or lost packets, etc..) from set-up installed in BE-ICS lab (no data is taken at the moment) http://128.141.159.207/index.cgi?site=status
Geraldine will try to re-establish a setup in the lab with ELMB CANopen OPC UA such that we can see full picture
Find a way to have an effective communication with BE, other users and software development:
Michal reported that Lukasz is rapresenting "our" section but we never had discussion with him. Are there dedicated meeting? How often? Can we organize meeting to give feedback to Lukasz?...
