Front Panel A generic PVSS GUI for device control PP-101005 -a-MMA_Front. Panel. pptm 1 Front Panel - A generic PVSS GUI for device control

The goal of Front Panel • Generic GUI for accessing all device parameters of the accelerator • Similar to what people use in CCC • Setting cycle dependent and non cycle dependent control values (CCV’s) • Observing (slow) acquisition values (AQN’s) • Setting alarm thresholds for AQN’s in absolute values, %, permil or ppm of the related CCV PP-101005 -a-MMA_Front.

Cycle dependent CCV • Value depends on the actual cycle (cycle is identified with the Cycle Code) • Values for the cycles are stored in a table • Table configured through RMS Device with CD CCV MTS Static Table with Values Next Cycle Event Logic RMS Problem: • During commissioning frequent changes needed PP-101005 -a-MMA_Front.

Cycle Code Builder • PVSS GUI for building: • Cycle Code • Cycle Mask&Filter • User can create code by specifying the individual elements (energy, particle type, etc…) • Displays the code in binary and hex format • User can enter a code in hex format • Layout of the Cycle Code can be configured over a data point PP-101005 -a-MMA_Front.

Control Concept • Basic devices • Simple values, e. g. magnet cooling ok or not • State machine devices • Each device implements the same state machine • Achieve homogeneous/generic way of controlling • Communication via a dedicated protocol (e. g. OPC, S 7) PP-101005 -a-MMA_Front. Panel. pptm 10 Front Panel - A generic PVSS GUI for device control

CCV in QA and Clinical Mode • CCV IS NOT modifiable in QA or Clinical Mode • Some devices need tuning due to drift behaviors also in QA and Clinical Mode (e. g. Ion Source) • Special CCV’s can be tagged to be modifiable also in QA and Clinical Mode • Modification is only possible between restricted limits PP-101005 -a-MMA_Front.

Conclusion • A generic panel to control all device parameters • Setting CCV’s (cycle and non cycle dependent) • Observing AQN’s (slow acquisition rate) • Setting alarm threshold for AQN’s • A generic way for controlling the state machine • A GUI for generating Cycle Code and Cycle Mask&Filter PP-101005 -a-MMA_Front.

Outlook • Using Front Panel in the MACS Column for controlling the PCC • Defining a structure for the device tree • Implement user permissions file name including date 15 Name & title
