LBNF Controls LBNF Beamline Controls The LBNF Beamline

LBNF Controls LBNF Beamline Controls • The LBNF Beamline Controls will provide services for process control, monitoring, timing, save-and-restore and data logging for the entire LBNF Beamline from extraction through the absorber. • The LBNF Beamline Controls will also provide accelerator timing information (beam extraction, etc. ) and accelerator network services to the LBNF Near Detector. 1

LBNF Controls Scope The LBNF Control System will be expected to: • Reliably log data for every beam pulse • Plot both real-time and logged data in strip-chart form and capture all operational information for the beamline devices in a database • Issue alarms for off-nominal conditions and provide power-supply controllers with ramping capability • Provide support for “slow” control subsystems: water, vacuum, etc. • Display information from the position and loss monitors along the beamline and provide an auto-tuning facility to keep the beam centered over its length without significant human intervention • Provide a beam permit function to inhibit subsequent beam extraction to LBNF in the case of a single bad beam pulse until the problem has been resolved. 2

LBNF Controls Scope • The Accelerator Controls Network (ACNET) provides complete control system services for the Fermilab accelerator complex. As an extension of the accelerator complex, LBNF will have its control system requirements supported via ACNET. • This ACNET support is virtually identical to that presently provided to Nu. MI. • LBNF Controls Conceptual Design is based on the successful Nu. MI Controls design. 3

LBNF Controls Requirements • The Controls Task shall design and develop the controls system for the entire beamline from extraction through the absorber. The task shall be done in a manner that will readily interface with the existing accelerator control system. In addition, the controls subtask shall provide the clock signal and accelerator network to the Near Detector Service Building and Hall. • Controls shall follow Fermilab standards (FESHM, FEM) • Controls shall use existing AD/Controls standard equipment & designs whenever possible. • Controls shall use designs that are compatible with the existing Controls System in all cases. • Controls shall be ready for installation as soon as Beneficial Occupancy of LBNF service buildings is obtained and predecessor tasks are complete. 4

LBNF Controls Requirements • Controls Timing and Link Systems – LBNF Timing and Links system shall be compatible with the existing ACNET Timing and Links system used in the Main Injector – Controls timing hardware shall be available for installation as soon as Beneficial Occupancy of LBNF service buildings, installation of equipment racks and controls fiber infrastructure are complete • Controls System Hardware – LBNF system hardware shall be compatible with ACNET – LBNF system hardware shall make use of existing AD/Controls equipment & designs whenever possible • Controls System Software – LBNF system software shall be compatible with existing AD/Controls system software • LBNF Beam Permit (BP/ABT) – LBNF Beam Permit shall be compatible with existing AD Beam Permit systems 6

LBNF Controls Design • Controls for LBNF are based on the existing Nu. MI Controls design, with comparable equipment in comparable locations. • Controls for LBNF will be an extension of the existing ACNET control system used in the rest of the accelerator complex. ACNET provides monitoring, control, timing, datalogging and save & restore services. • ACNET networking and timing systems are planned to be made available to all the LBNF Service Buildings and to designated underground Support Rooms. (Includes Near Detector) • LBNF Beam Permit will be developed based on existing Nu. MI design. • LBNF Controls will utilize existing AD hardware/designs where possible (however, no CAMAC will be supported in new LBNF controls locations) • LBNF Controls will use commercial hardware where applicable (Network switches, hubs, VME crates, processors, PLC’s, etc. ) • LBNF Software will be based on existing AD/Controls System Software 7
