to it’s limits which were determined by the HERA shutdown scheduled at that time. The final acceptance test at the vendors site showed dramatic performance problems. Two factors could be identified as the cause of these problems. The first one was related to the under estimated CPU load of the 北京化工大學北方學院畢業(yè)設計(論文) —— 外文文獻原稿和譯文 3 6th grade polynomial temperature conversion running at 1 Hz. The second one was the additional CPU load caused by the plex functionality of the existing D/3 system. Here it was underestimated that each digital and analog input and output channel had it’s own alarm limits in the D/3 system. In a SCADA like system as Cube the base functionality of a channel is to read the value and make it available to the system. Any additional functionality must be added. Last not least the load on the work for polling all the alarm limits – typically for a SCADA system – was also driving the work to it’s limits. Finally the contract with Orsi was cancelled and an upgrade of the D/3 system was the only possible solution. It was finally carried out in march 2021. In any case it should be mentioned that the Cube approach had the advantage of a homogeneous configuration environment (for the Cube front end controllers) – pared with heterogeneous environments for ‘pure’ SCADA systems. SCADA (PVSSII) The H1 experiment at the HERA accelerator decided to use PVSSII for an upgrade of their slow control systems[3]. The existing systems were developed by several members of the H1 collaboration and were difficult to maintain. The decision to use PVSS as a replacement was driven by the results of an extensive survey carried out at CERN by the Joint Controls Project [4]. PVSS is a ‘pure’ Supervisory And Data Acquisition System (SCADA). It provides a set of drivers for several field buses and generic socket libraries to implement munication over TCP/IP. The core element is the so called event manager. It collects the data (mostly by polling) from the I/O devices and provides an event service to the attached management services like: control manager, database manager, user interface, API manager and the built in HTTP server. The PVSS scripting library allows to implement plex sequences as well as plex graphics. Compared with other SCADA systems PVSS es with one basic feature: it provides a true object oriented API to the device’s data. One major disadvantage of SCADA systems is the fact that two databases, the one for the PLC and the one for the SCADA system must be maintained. Integrated environments try to overe this restriction. EPICS 北京化工大學北方學院畢業(yè)設計(論文) —— 外文文獻原稿和譯文 4 EPICS has emerged at DESY from a problem solver to a fully integrated control system. Starting from the data collector and number cruncher for the cryogenic control system, EPICS made it’s way to bee the core application for the DESY utility group. In addition it is used wherever data is available through VME b
