Sumario:CERN's laboratory for particle physics near Geneva, Switzerland, is among the most innovative R&D centers in the world. This approach to research is also reflected in the way it works with its control system suppliers. ABB's Advant Open Control System (OCS), which makes use of object-oriented programming, was chosen to perform one of the most complex automation tasks ever specified: processing 10000 signals in order to keep the temperature of the world's largest particle accelerating system (Large Electron Positron Collider) close to absolute zero.
