Abstract

TileCal is one of the ATLAS sub-detectors operating at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is taking data since 2009. The Detector Control System (DCS) was developed to ensure the coherent and safe operation of the whole ATLAS detector. Seventy thousand (70000) parameters are used for control and monitoring purposes of TileCal, requiring an automated system. The TileCal DCS is mainly responsible for the control and monitoring of the high and low voltage systems but it also supervises the detector infrastructure (cooling and racks), calibration systems, data acquisition and safety. During the first period of data taking (Run 1, 2009–12) the TileCal DCS allowed a smooth detector operation and should continue to do so for the second period (Run 2) that started in 2015. The TileCal DCS was updated in order to cope with the hardware and software requirements for Run 2 operation. These updates followed the general ATLAS guidelines on the software and hardware upgrade but also the new requirements from the TileCal detector. A report on the upgrade and status of the TileCal DCS system will be presented.

Highlights

  • ATLAS experiment● Rich physics program: Higgs boson, SUSY, QGP, extra dimensions,dark matter and more

  • ● Development and implementation of DCS for Laser II system and 200V DC system (3x times faster) was done using new structure, excluding the OLE for Process Control (OPC)

  • ● Organized in 4 partitions EBA, LBA, LBC, EBC ● Each partition is divided in 64 modules ● Each module has its own Front-End electronics
