Integration of Wireless Mobile Equipment in Supervisory Application

Pumping group stations and bake-out control cabinets are temporarily installed close to vacuum systems in CERN accelerator tunnels, during their commissioning. The quality of the beam vacuum during operation depends greatly on the quality of the commissioning. Therefore, the integration of mobile equipment in the vacuum supervisory application is primordial. When connected to the control system, the mobile stations appear automatically integrated in the synoptic. They are granted with the same level of remote control, diagnostics and data logging as fixed equipment. The wireless connection and the communication protocol with the supervisory application offer a flexible and reliable solution with high level of integrity.
