  12. Control and Instrumentation Development

  13. CID Mission and Mandate Develop, deploy and support the instrumentation, control and data acquisition technology needed to help position CLS and it’s beamline as a global leader and recognised centre of excellence.

  14. Staffing Levels • Manager: 1 • Instrument Scientist/Engineer: 2 + ½ • Electronics Techs: 3 • Control Lead 5 • Bio-medical Imaging Specialist 1 • System Analyst - Software Developer 5 • System Admin 0 + (IT 1) • Web-systems 1 + (IT 1) • Control PLC and Drawings 1 +(AOD 2;ETS 3) • Fellow 1 • Students 2 Total: 22 + 7

  15. Management Approach • Matrix staffing approach • Project/Work Package breakdown • Graded Change Control • Control lead is primary interface between beamline staff and the rest of the department • If successful control leads feel embedded in both the department and beamline teams

  16. Time Content Rational Unified Process |

  17. Human Factors • Human factors basedon NREG-700 • Equipment vrs Task • Increased layers ofabstraction • Priority has been tailoring GUI applications to specific tasks/beamlines, we now need to look at a common look and feel across the facility

  18. We Changed the Question... • Drop corresponds to new beamlines coming on and shift in interface.

  19. Improving the Beam • Storage ring dipolestability improved(30ppm -> 15 ppm) • Power supply upgrades oninjection chain - nearly complete • Upgraded orbit correction software in place and ready for commissioning • Absolute power meter 1 % Accuracy and 50 nW Resolution (comp. with PTB)

  20. Front End Electronics • Contract in place for thefirst µTCA system • Continuous scanning nowon VESPERS and SGM • Evaluation underway on RTEMS and motion control platform migration • Evaluation of pre-amps (2011/12)

  21. User Oriented Software • Continue to achieve highuser satisfaction rates • We are moving forward on HXMA improvements • Human factors review are ongoing • Many of the concepts embedded in aquaman are based on the last years user meeting

  22. Compute Canada • Silo disk storage available • Work in ongoing • In collaboration with SharNetthe FOXMAS analysissoftware have been developed and made available within ScienceStudio

  23. AquamanThe Story • Superhero Mission: Transforming beamline software away from "Controlling Machines" to "Supporting Experiments“ • Spawned By: A creative design session of synchrotron users, beamline staff, and software developers in Summer 2010 • Seeks to Protect: The whole experimental process:  From planning and organizing old data, to running experiments on beamlines, to visualization, analysis, and making connections • Sidekick: "Dataman", a take-home version that lets scientists compare, process, visualize, and export their data, using the same interface they see on the beamline • Super Powers: Adapts to new beamlines and techniques in the blink of an eye.   Can run on almost any platform (Linux, Mac, Windows).    • Secret Abilities: Agile development; fast and frequent user feedback; modular design; integrated documentation. • Arch-Nemeses:  8AM mornings. TestBoy (his test suite).  Being confused with Aquaman, the lamest comic book character ever. Developed by: • Mark Boots, David Chevrier, Darren Hunter

  24. Strategic Goals 2013/17 • Improved Beam Stability  (BPMs) • Improved Beam Stability  (Thermal Stability in the Storage Ring) • Storage Ring RF Transfer Line and Valve Box • Improved Machine Reliability • Common Data File Format • Calibration Service • Improve Control System Development Techniques • Replacement of Legacy Control Equipment • Increase the Performance of Data Acquisition Systems on CLS Beamlines • Improved Human Factors of Control and Data Acquisition Systems on Beamline

  25. Requirements Management

  26. PID Drawings • Generally used in thepast. • Relates field equipment tocontrol system inputs • Quite effective. • Moving towards computerised requirements management See ICALEPS2009 TUP47

  27. MKS

  28. MKS Requirements .....

  29. Prodex

  30. Motion Control at CLS • VME • Prodex OMS 58 and MaxV (the majority) • Standalone • ProdexMaxNet • Schnider Electric - Mdrive • Newport XPS • Special System • Bosh Controllers (IEC 61508 certifiable)

  31. HXMA Experience • We had a OMS 58 Card destroy a mono on one of our hard x-ray beamlines • Problem was caused by a failed $2 IC that caused the FPGA to continue to pulse the motor • We now do dual redundant limit switches where practice with the outer set interlocking driver power.

  32. Layout • Two breakoutboards • Colour CodedCat 5 cabling • Drivers locatednear the motors to reducenoise • Complex but it works

  33. SSI Version • Traditional we have used absolute encoders only on the insertion devices • We are now using SSI encodors broadly • Using a special MaxV option. • MTS R-Series?

  34. The Challenges • Beamline controls are very homogenous • More variability on data acquisition: • Common elements: • EPICS at the device layer • Common sign-on and home directories (Centrify) • Shared elements: • Most use our standard scanning engine • LOC interface for user built endstation • Variable elements: • Actual experiment control • Improved post-experiment data access

  35. What is Science Studio? • Partnership with CLS, University of Western Ontario, IBM Canada, IBM Research, and LNLS • Database for experiment information • Common object models & rest interface • Plug-in modules • Multi-laboratory capability • Includes: • People (production) • Facility Info (production) • Training (production) • Data (Florescence and Diffraction) • Proposal (prototyped) • Schedule (prototyped)

  36. Current High-level Data Model CLS beamline endstation

  37. Science Studio • Applications are integrated through REST Interface • Applications can either be data acquisition oriented or data analysis oriented • They can also occur across multiple sites • Security implemented using CAS

  38. Some Example Applications XRD/XRF by CLS Training by CLS SAXS Implemented by LNLS Science Studio Database Web VNC integration of Electron microscope UWO NanoFab By UWO/CLS Foxmas by UWO/SharcNet Peeakabook fitting software UWO

  39. Next Step.... • Integrate sufficient user office functionality to obtain more metadata • Add additional upload capabilities from existing applications • Add additional viewing capability • Integrate eduroam/access federation

  40. Thank you for your time.... Funding Partners

  41. Potential Restructured Model endstation SGM beamline CLS

  42. Options for DOI.... • Canada is a signatory to the OECD: “Declaration on Access to Research Data from Public Funding” • We should expect their to become a condition on the award of any federal research funding. • The European and DOE major facilities are moving toward the assignment of DOI numbers to data sets using a common system • DOE is following down the same path (lead by Oak Ridge) • Generally practice is for the facility to be the publisher of reference for data sets obtained by their users after the expiry of their embargo period. • DataCite Canada (operated by NRC is the register) • ScienceStudio requires minor modification to interface into the central register.

  43. Canadian Access Federation • CLS has entered into an agreement with CANARIE on CAF • CAF – provides a mechanism for users to authenticate at CLS using their home institutions credentials • CANARIE has agreements with their counterparts providing international access • Currently three applications: • Edurom access for users/visitors while at the CLS • Edurom access for CLS staff when traveling at member institutions • Some ongoing work to integrate “CAS” layer in ScienceStudio with CAF servers at CLS. Significant potential to improve data transfer between CLS and Compute Canada facilities

  44. HXMA Monocrometer

  46. Licensing Requirements (CNSC - Oct 22, 2010) • Safety and Security Considerations • Use of third party certificate for SSL encryption (Thawte) • Integrated Video Feed of any area under remote control (OHS requirement) • Single interface point between DMS and the beamline VLANs with security. • Access is limited to specific experiment permit and only to members of experiment • Remote user contact (phone number and e-mail must be available within the system) • Remote access user training • Audit records of access times and experiment activities • Devices controllable limited to only those needed to perform the experiment
