WEKA01	The CSS Story	controls, EPICS, site, cryogenics	1
	M.R. Clausen, J. Hatje, J. Penning DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	Control System Studio (CSS) is designed to serve as an integration platform for engineering and operation of todays process controls as well as machine controls systems. Therefore CSS is not yet another replacement of existing operator interfaces (OPI) but a complete environment for the control room covering alarm management, archived data displays diagnostic tools and last not least operator interfaces. In addition we decided to use CSS as the platform for the whole engineering chain configuring EPICS based process control databases, configuring and managing the I/O, editing state notation programs, configuring role based access rights and many more. Due to the ease of use of CSS as an Eclipse based product, we decided to use the CSS core also for all our stand alone processes. This helped us to reduce the diversity of running products/ processes and simplified the management. In this presentation we will describe our experience with CSS over the last two years. How we managed the transition from old displays to new ones, how we changed our alarm/ message philosophy and last not least which lessons we learned.

WEPD24	STARS on Android	controls, GUI, photon, LabView	51
	T. Kosuge KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	STARS (Simple Transmission and Retrieval System) is a message transferring software for small scale control systems with TCP/IP socket, which works on various types of operating systems. STARS is used as beamline control system and it controls optical devices (mirror, monochrometer etc.) of beamline at the Photon Factory. We have succeeded to run STARS GUI Client on Android with STARS Java interface library this time. This success brings capability of handy GUI terminal development with smartphones and tablet devices. The handy GUI terminal helps beamline users when checking movement near optical devices. We will describe detail of "STARS on Android".

WEPD48	Facility-Wide Synchronization of Standard FAIR Equipment Controllers	controls, background, kicker, radio-frequency	84
	S. Rauch, R. Bär, D.H. Beck, M. Kreider, W. Panschow, C. Prados, W.W. Terpstra, M. Thieme, M. Zweig GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
	The standard equipment controller for the new FAIR accelerator facility is the Scalable Control Unit (SCU). It synchronizes and controls the actions of up to 12 purpose-built slave cards, connected in a crate. Facility-wide synchronization is a core FAIR requirement and thus precise timing of SCU slave actions is of vital importance. The SCU consists primarily of two components, a daughter board with CPU and a carrier board with FPGA, interconnected by PCI Express. The CPU receives configuration and set values with which it programs the real-time event-condition-action (ECA) unit in the FPGA. The ECA unit receives event messages via the timing network, which also synchronizes clocks using White Rabbit. Matching events trigger actions on the SCU slave cards such as ramping magnets, triggering kickers, etc. Timing requirements differ depending on the action taken. For softer real-time actions, an interrupt can be generated for complex processing on the CPU. Alternatively, the FPGA can directly fire a pulse or bus operation. The delay and jitter achievable in each case differs and this paper examines their timing performance to determine which is appropriate for the required actions.

THCD06	Design Development and Analysis of a Comprehensive Open Source System for Proactive Management of Security Aspects of a Control Network	controls, monitoring, status	134
	S.S. Tomar, S.N. Chaudhari, H.S. Chouhan, V.K. Maurya, A. Rawat RRCAT, Indore (M.P.), India
	Control networks can only be assumed to be secure, when they work in complete isolation and all communication ports of the constituent control devices are disabled and are closely monitored for security breaches on 24X7 basis. With more and more control systems being developed using Common Out of The Shelf (COTS) computers, using windows OS, the chances of virus attacks on such control networks is extremely large. Handling zero day virus attacks or virus attacks with unknown cure, is a serious challenge for control network administrators. Another important aspect, somehow related to the security of the control network, is the rising temperatures of the control devices, because of 24X7 operation. All this is difficult to handle manually or using disconnected systems and hence there is a requirement of a comprehensive system which can do all this automatically. In this paper we will discuss the various security related parameters of the control networks and then present a simplified design followed by development details of a comprehensive open source system for proactive management of the security aspects of the control network.

THPD05	Design and Analysis of Second Harmonics Modulator for DC Current Transformer	feedback, pick-up, controls, instrumentation	145
	K.D. Joshi, K. Reju BARC, Mumbai, India
	DC Current Transformers (DCCT) are widely used in the world of particle accelerators. DCCT is a device which produces even harmonics, predominantly second harmonics corresponding to DC beam current flowing through two toroids. The second harmonics is detected by digital synchronous detector implemented in programmable logic. Current proportional to the detected second harmonic is passed through the toroids in a feedback loop such that the flux due to the DC beam current is cancelled by it. This feedback current is the measure of average beam current. The high permeability toroids, excitation and output windings are collectively called magnetic modulator, which is a key component of DCCT. Design and analysis of a second-harmonic magnetic modulator used as a detector for DC Current transformer for high resolution current measurement is presented.
