All DCS equipment will be interfaced to the ECS. The generic architecture is the following:

High & Low Voltages, Temperatures, etc.

On an aim for standardisation the following guidelines have been adopted:

JCOP has performed some tests using commercial equipment, here are their recomendations.

Special equipment will be studied on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us!

In anticipation of the choice of the sub-detectors some equipment is already being integrated in the framework as ready-to-use components:

In general, any device providing an OPC server can be easily integrated since PVSS provides an OPC client: this is the case of WAGO I/O modules, the CERN recommended PLCs, and many other industrial devices.

GAS Systems

The gas systems of the different sub-detectors are being developed in the framework of the Gas Working Group (GWG). The GWG is also responsible for the control aspects and their integration into the framework.
