Abstract
The Time Projection Chamber is one of the detectors of the ALICE experiment, that is currently being commissioned at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The Detector Control System is used for control and monitoring of the system. For the TPC Front-End Electronics (FEE) the control node is a Readout Control Unit that communicates to higher layers via Ethernet, using the standard framework DIM. The Readout Control Unit is equipped with commercial SRAM based FPGAs that will experience errors due to the radiation environment they are operating in. This article will present the implemented hardware solution for error correction and will focus on the software environment for configuration and controlling of the system – TWEPP-07.
