The European Spallation Source
Control System
Garry Trahern,
Head of Integrated Control Systems
The ESS site is in Sweden !
Sweden, Denmark & Norway cover 50% of cost
Lund!
The other 14 member states covers the rest,
with the European Investment Bank

Scope of integrated control system
Everything from source to target,
cryogenics & conventional facilities
•Good for long-term maintainability
•Get everybody on board at the
beginning (when it is not ‘so hard’)
•Organizational challenges are faced

Projects to model on in terms of controls
• SNS
• Similar in functionality to ESS
• Real-life experience from SNS control system
• ITER
• multi-lab and multi-nation project just like the ESS
• A very large EPICS installation
• ITER timeframe
- First subsystems integrated: 2013
- Commissioning: 2018
- Operation: 2019

Some architectural, design and
organizational decisions
• ESS will use the EPICS control system.
• Linux will be the operating system in the ESS controls service
tier.
• Provide a standardized “Control Box” platform to ESS partner
institutions, with first prototype delivery in the design phase.
• Release Control Box software and hardware in
(approximately) yearly cycles

Control System Architecture – Control
Box

Control Box
 Provide a standardized solution
before teams develop their own
 A cornerstone in the 3 year
design update phase
Central Services

Beam line elements database (BLED)
• Automatically generate as much of the control system's components as
possible
• Principal input: a high-level description of the system (e.g., the
accelerator's lattice)
 Use of system engineering tools
and model-driven architecture
 The database(s) contain:



inventory information
(equipment and its location,
reference to manuals, reference
to purchasing information, …)
cabling, connectivity and
topology information
control system process
variables, processing rules, …

Hardware platform selection
• How to select the hardware platform, main criteria
• Usability
• Longevity
• NOT “top performance” or coolness factor
Acceptance by majority in the industry.
• Selection process:
• Stakeholders: controls, beam instrumentation, RF, …
• First prototype decision on October 3: cPCI
• Decision revised through prototyping and comparing notes
• Early prototype – learn from mistakes
• Different groups – different experiences
• Objective approach: unified table for all platforms, arguments
agreed upon by all groups

Current status
•
•
•
•
Development environment
• ITER’s CODAC is taken as basis
• 8 service servers hosting bug tracking, version control,
continuous integration …
• Scientific Linux user development virtual machines
• Cross platform: Windows, Mac OS, Linux
Timing, MPS: gathering requirements
• Single source clock will be used
Naming convention finalized
End of 2012: First major deliverables
• Technical Design Report
• Vertical prototype with Control Box (and manual)
… complement each other.

Summary
The European Spallation Source will be built in Lund.
• The design of the CS should ensure a long life with many
upgrades.
• The accelerator design, prototyping & construction is being
performed in a collaboration.
Use code and best practices from similar projects as much as
possible
• Collaboration with SNS and ITER
Provide a working control system from the onset
• Control Box, released in yearly cycles
