- control and monitor various MINOS HV, LV, Magnetic field, Relay Racks and Environmental parameters,
- acquire Beam/Accelerator line data,
- provide for various parameters trending graphs,
- set alarms,
- store data in the Oracle database.
The design of the MINOS DCS system is based on a commercial Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition System (SCADA) iFIX, from intellution. View some snap shots of MINOS DCS V0.0
Members of the DCS group are:
- Albert Erwin, Huican Ping , Christos Velissaris, (University of Wisconsin, Madison)
- Marvin Marshak, Jon Urheim (University of Minnesota)
- Jeffrey McDonald (University of Pittsburgh)
- Nathaniel P. Longley (Macalester College)
- Alec Habig (University of Minnesota, Duluth)
- Theo Alexopoulos (National Technical University in Athens, Greek)
