Dynamic Control Room Interfaces for Complex Particle Accelerator Systems

Bolling, Benjamin LU orcid ; Fedel, Gabriel ; Muñoz, Marc and Nordt, Dirk (2023) p.351-354
Abstract
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a research facility under construction aiming to be the world’s most powerful pulsed neutron source. It is powered by a complex particle accelerator designed to provide a 2.86 ms long proton pulse at 2 GeV with a repetition rate of 14 Hz. Commissioning of the first part of the accelerator has begun and the requirements on the control system interfaces varies greatly as progress is made and new systems are added. In this paper, three such applications are discussed in separate sections. A Navigator interface was developed for the control room interfaces aimed towards giving operators and users a clear and structured way towards quickly finding the needed interface(s) they need.

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a research facility under construction aiming to be the world’s most powerful pulsed neutron source. It is powered by a complex particle accelerator designed to provide a 2.86 ms long proton pulse at 2 GeV with a repetition rate of 14 Hz. Commissioning of the first part of the accelerator has begun and the requirements on the control system interfaces varies greatly as progress is made and new systems are added. In this paper, three such applications are discussed in separate sections. A Navigator interface was developed for the control room interfaces aimed towards giving operators and users a clear and structured way towards quickly finding the needed interface(s) they need. The construction of this interface is made automatically via a Python-based application and is built on applications in any directory structure both with and without developer interference (fully and semi-automatic methods). The second interface discussed in this paper is the Operations Accelerator Synoptic interface, which uses a set of input lattices and system interface templates to construct configurable synoptic view of the systems in various sections and a controller panel for any selected system. Lastly for this paper there is a configurable Radio Frequency Orchestration interface for Operations, which allows in-situ modification of the interface depending on which systems and components are selected.
