Motivation
• Clear indication of – AB/CO FEC performance limitation (RIO2) for BT equipment controls,– Decrease of reliability (end of bath curve) for equipment level hardware
under BT or CO responsibility.
• Good opportunity for – Eradication of obsolete of hardware,– Regain of expertise in low-level equipment controls (hardware &
software) and in integration of equipment controls in accelerator controls,
– Clarification of equipment controls responsibility between groups,– Homogenization of controls solutions (hardware & Software) within the
BT group.

Strategy
• Renovation strategy for consolidation of BT equipment controls will be based on the responsibility sharing agreements between CO and equipment groups defined in the CO3 (so called “co-operative model”).
• Clear separation between the renovation of – “Accelerator Complex Controls” CO responsibility,– “Equipment low-level controls” BT responsibility.
• Renovation based 3 independent phases– Phase1: Identification with OP of missing operational functionality for the
control of BT equipment,– Phase2: Renovation of CO controls infrastructure and update to FESA of GM
classes on the basis of actual low-level hardware,– Phase3: Consolidation of low level hardware.

Work Packages
• Two different categories of work packages:– Category 1: Work packages induced by the “Accelerator Complex Controls
Renovation”,– Category 2: Work packages where renovation of equipment level controls
has no link with “Accelerator Complex Controls Renovation” or is planned to be done in accordance with “co-operative model”.
• For Category 1 work packages, no resources, manpower & budget, actually planned within BT. Some manpower resources can be retrieved from exploitation.
• For Category 2 work packages, resources, manpower & budget (including additional CO support) are planned within BT.

Open Issues / Concerns
• Responsibility clarification for – PS Complex Electro-static septa control (shared for the moment between AB/PO,
AB/CO & AB/BT),– Implementation of the “co-operative model” for slow & fast timing for kicker systems
across the injector chain.– Equipment control through generic classes.
• FEC sharing between different equipment group• Definition of FESA standard properties• Low-level controls homogeneity across the complete accelerator
complex (LHC included)– Same equipment level hardware and software used on 2 different platforms with 2
different operating systems,– Resources needed at equipment group level to maintain two different environments.
• OASIS

Summary
• BT will follow the “Accelerator Complex Controls Renovation” as set up by the CO group.
• Expertise and manpower (from exploitation) available to perform the migration of GM classes to FESA.
• Ready to in-source some specific control functionalities only used by BT, but resources (funding and manpower) to be found.
• Some specific BT “non-blocking” technical issues still to be clarified with CO.
• Some concerns about resources needed to maintain a homogeneity at the low level across the complete accelerator chain.
