EPICS & PLCs Integration

One year and some months ago…

After a year…

Thank you!

Who owns PLCs at ESS…???

• Accelerator Division, Target Division, NSS and Conventional Facilities. Main consumers are (in quantity):– RF local interlocks– Cryogenics Systems– Vacuum Systems– Local Protection Systems– Conventional Facilities Systems

• ICS does not own by far the majority of the PLCs (but it will provide development effort).

• But it us who has the standardization capability, almost all of them need to be integrated into the EPICS control system. We are trying to do it together with our stakeholders.

Standardization by procurement

• A PLC hardware Open Call for Tender is about to go out.– We want to procure a framework agreement to select a

preferred vendor.– It is ONLY to buy hardware and development software

• This tender does not cover PSS, TSS and motion controls applications.

• In any case, selecting a vendor it is not the only aspect of standardization!

PLCs in vacuum

• This is only for analog signals for protection applications.

• Monitoring signals via serial ports

Maximum Required Sampling Rates

Vacuum System 1 sample/sec, 1 sample/10msec, 10samples/msec

Conventional Facilities Systems 1 sample/sec

Power Distribution Systems 1 sample/sec

Water Cooling Systems 1 sample/sec

Cryogenics systems 1 sample/10msec

Slow Interlock System 1 sample/10msec

Modbus vs. s7plc

• The goal was to measure the capability of exchanging data regarding the exchange rate and the number of channels (connections) used.

16

Event Correlation Test

We are measuring four times:• when a Signal is triggered on Timing-

IOC. • when PLC detects this signal on its

digital input. • when PLC sends this value to PLC-IOC.• when PLC-IOC updates this new value

from PLC

Event Correlation Test (II)

Event Correlation Test (III)

• Similar delay times.• Except in the test with

minimum PLC cycle time 20ms and PLC push rate 20 ms.

What is ahead….?

• Finish the OCT and select a vendor• Finish the documentation to be provided to the

stakeholders• Understand how PLC development fit in the overall

workflows and select/develop the proper tools for operate and maintain PLC-based controls systems

• Does UNICOS fits in those workflows? To be seen…• Build internal know-how
