The Lhc Functional Layout Database as Foundation of the Controls System
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the design, construction, integration and installation of the LHC, the LHC Layout database manages the information on the functional positions of the components of the LHC. Since January 2005, the scope of this database has been extended to include all electronics racks in the tunnel, underground areas and surface buildings. This description of the accelerator and the installed controls topology is now used as the foundation for the on-line operational databases, namely for controls configuration and operational settings. This paper will sketch the scope of the Layout database, and explain the details of data propagation towards the respective controls data consumers. The question whether this approach is applicable to the rest of the accelerator complex at CERN will be addressed as well.

The Lhc Control System
A new control system for the LHC machine has been developed building on the existing controls infrastructure of the CERN accelerators. While the primary target for this development is the LHC the aim is to deploy this system on the other accelerators at CERN starting with the LHC pre-injectors. All layers of the control system have been redeveloped. In the Front Ends FESA is a new software infr...

متن کاملThe Importance of Layout and Configuration Data for Flexibility during Commissionning and Operation of the Lhc Machine Protection Systems
Due to the large stored energies in both magnets and particle beams, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) requires a large inventory of machine protection systems, as e.g. powering interlock systems, based on a series of distributed industrial controllers for the protection of the more than 10’000 normal and superconducting magnets. Such systems are required to be at the same time fast, reliable and...
متن کاملComparative assessment of manual load lifting tasks in three methods: KIM-LHC, WISHA and SNOOK tables: Case study in printing industry
Background: today, musculoskeletal disorders are considered as a serious threat for workers, and one of the main activities, which leads to these problems, is lifting tasks. Moreover, workers in printing industry are widely involved in inappropriate postures and lifting loads. The aim of this study was to compare the results of assessment of lifting tasks with KIM-LHC, WISHA and Snook tables in...
متن کاملA Hybrid Meta-heuristic for the Dynamic Layout Problem with Transportation System Design
This paper primarily presents a comprehensive dynamic layout design model which integrates layout and transportation system design via considering more realistic assumptions, such as taking account of fixed-position departments and distance between departments that endanger each other. In addition, specific criteria such as capacity, cost and reliability of facilities are considered in transpor...
