THE HARDWARE INFRASTRUCTURE CONTROLS AND COMMUNICATIONS WHAT IS NEEDED ? • Apart from the VME systems, almost all categories of LHC hardware components must be installed and tested for the Hardware commissioning phase • Ethernet, Timing and World. FIP Networks must be installed and qualified • Basic installation principle – Linked to the hardware Commissioning planning, get the control system installed and tested between 1 and 2 months before individual system tests 5/11/2005 LHC Hardware Commissioning Review M.

THE HARDWARE INFRASTRUCTURE THE HARDWARE COMPONENTS CONTROLS AND COMMUNICATIONS • World. FIP Gateways – Potential Show Stopper • Full. FIP 2 Bus Arbiter Card – A non-systematic de-synchronization in the execution of the World. FIP cycles has been observed and reported to Alstom. • Answer expected from Alstom in July 2005 • Consequences should be precisely evaluated with PO, QPS people • May require a dismantling of the Full. FIP 2 cards installed in the Gateways (SR 8) for EPROM re-programming → Installation of the gateways in next surface points (7, 1, …) should wait until the problem is fixed and consequences are understood 5/11/2005 LHC Hardware Commissioning Review M.

THE HARDWARE INFRASTRUCTURE WORLDFIP INFRASTRUCTURE CONTROLS AND COMMUNICATIONS • Large scale critical network 5/11/2005 LHC Hardware Commissioning Review M. Vanden Eynden on behalf of the AB/CO Group 16

THE HARDWARE INFRASTRUCTURE WORLDFIP INFRASTRUCTURE CONTROLS AND COMMUNICATIONS • Qualification and Diagnostics in LHC – Electrical and Dynamic qualification Final qualification of the World. FIP segments is vital and requires: 1. The cabling to be finalized 2. The real agents to be installed and connected to the bus (FGCs, QPS) 3. Allocated slots on the planning 5/11/2005 LHC Hardware Commissioning Review M. Vanden Eynden on behalf of the AB/CO Group 17

THE HARDWARE INFRASTRUCTURE CONTROLS AND COMMUNICATIONS SUMMARY (1/2) • Hardware Systems and Components – All hardware choices for the LHC control system are made and their procurement is on track. Large quantities are already in stock – The technical problem with the Alstom World. FIP bus arbiter module has to be understood by end July 2005, to be able to proceed with the installation of the World. FIP Gateways in the next LHC sectors (SR 7, SR 1) – The Timing system is up and running in LHC PT 8 but the impact of interrupting the timing system by end 2005 for installation in the C. C. C should be carefully evaluated and planned. • Installation – The Control system hardware Installation in PT 8 is almost complete, thanks to a solid installation organization and correct staffing. All installed systems are under monitoring and declared in the asset management system (No VME involved!). 5/11/2005 LHC Hardware Commissioning Review M. Vanden Eynden on behalf of the AB/CO Group 18

SUMMARY (2/2) THE HARDWARE INFRASTRUCTURE CONTROLS AND COMMUNICATIONS • Qualifications and Planning Issues – Hardware tests: all possible tests and qualifications are made during installation BUT the final World. FIP qualification is only possible once the cabling is complete and the real equipment is connected to the bus. – Planning: Clear interfaces are established with the project planning but dedicated slots of time to qualify the World. FIP mission critical systems have to be agreed together with the concerned equipment groups and with the HW commissioning WG. In all cases, the final qualification may result in late problems discovery that impact on the foreseen HW commissioning program. 5/11/2005 LHC Hardware Commissioning Review M.
