Presentation Transcript

  1. Mathias Dutour, Brice Copy EN-ICE Workshop23 April 2009 Middleware for control systems(EDMS 992586/Communication Solutions)

  2. Outline • Middleware definition. • Role in control system architecture. • Supported EN-ICE middleware. • Typical use and EN-ICE associated services. • Developments in progress and planned.

  3. Middleware definition • Communication glue between distributed software components. • Functionality to exchange data and commands between different parts of a distributed control system. • Functionality for information diffusion.

  4. Other systems Other systems (LHC, Safety, ...) (LHC, Safety, ...) Role in control system architecture DIP Driver DIM Driver CMW Driver Supervision OPC Client LAN OPC Servers DIM Server CMW Device Access PLC Process Fieldbus Field (Synchronized) Custom

  5. Supported EN-ICE middleware • DIP / DIM • Lightweight, simple and fast and portable. • Meant for interoperability (DIP) and process data integration (DIM). • DIP and DIM are CERN development (PH/EN-ICE). • OPC (OLE for Process Control) • Standard and secured (DCOM) monitoring and control mechanism. • (Mostly) available for Windows platforms. • Industrial middleware meant for easy integration of process data. • CMW (Common MiddleWare) • High level, portable, secured (RBAC), based on standard middleware (CORBA, JMS). • CERN development (BE-CO), widely used in the accelerator sector.

  6. DIP / DIM DIP DIP DIP • Typical use • DIP: Inter control systems data exchange. • DIM: Integration and exchange of low level data. • CERN designed drivers for PVSS and LabView. • Services offered by ICE • Maintenance of DIP API and tools. • Operational support of the DIP infrastructure. • User support for DIM and DIP usage and application development. DIM Server DIM driver Custom

  7. OPC OPC Client(s) OPC Server • Typical use • Integration of equipment monitoring and control in Supervision layer. • Of-the-shelf drivers for PVSS and LabView. • Services offered by ICE • Market survey / User requirement analysis. • Evaluation of vendors’ OPC servers. • User support for OPC deployment and configuration.

  8. CMW CMW Driver CMW Device Access • Typical use • Integration of accelerator, often synchronized, equipment monitoring and control in Supervision layer. • CERN designed drivers for PVSS and LabView. • Services offered by ICE • Main support provided by BE-CO (API and tools). • Maintenance of EN-ICE CMW drivers and CMW-enabled applications (FESA servers). • User support for EN-ICE CMW drivers. (Possibly synchronized)

  9. Foreseen developments in EN-ICE • DIP • Formal “Contracts” support between DIP data publishers and subscribers. • Web integration. • OPC • Investigation of Vista / Windows 7 support. • Investigation of OPC Unified Architecture (Linux-friendly). • CMW • EN-ICE to continue to develop CMW-enabled applications (FESA servers).

  10. Forum • Thank you for your attention.
