CV/TCR Control System Perspectives

At present, 35% of the CERN technical infrastructure points being monitored by the TCR are related to CV facilities. The adaptation of the CV systems to the LHC and the new experimental areas is leading to a re-engineering of all their control and monitoring systems in order to reach the more demanding requirements of the LHC era in terms of reliability and efficiency. In parallel, the TCR is redefining its role and establishing the means to continue providing a high-quality monitoring service to the community of CERN. The common aim is to achieve a smooth evolution from the existing systems to the new ones during the whole upgrading process. The integration of the CV control systems into a coherent TCR control and monitoring system requires the development and implementation of the appropriate technical solutions by a joint team in charge of co-ordinating the individual efforts and resources.
