Overview
The current structure for the ECS is an intermediate state between the previous one and a future configuration in which the field bus connecting hardware will consists in dedicated boards with an embedded PC.
The current structure follows the scheme in the figure.
The description of the items is as follows.
- Control projects are run in virtual machines with linux as operating system. The fact that are virtual machines should be transparent to the user.
- The connection to hardware is made by the former control PCs under a new name. They only run the drivers
The list of the old PCs is as follows

| ECAL | ecdaq01 | 10.128.160.29 |
ECS | CALO | caecs01 | 10.128.160.22 |
The new PCs may be accessed using the usual instructions,
ssh -Y pcname
The method to start, stop or check the project status in linux is
sudo /sbin/service winccoa_mp (start/stop/status)
USE WISELY !!
As usual, projects should not be directly accessed, but we should be using shortcuts. Shortcuts can be found in
(linux) /group/online/ecs/Shortcuts311/CALO
(windows) G:\online\ecs\Shortcuts311\CALO
Software
The SCADA software is not called PVSS anymore but WINCC OA. It is the same software with a version upgrade and a renaming. Commands are the same, except for a change of name : what before was PVSSui, is now WCCOAui.
For instance to call the gedi,
WCCOAui -proj ECDAQC1 -m gedi &
At present WINCC OA is not installed in all servers, so probably shortcuts will have to be run from one of the new control machines. To be updated.
Except for these changes, the way the system is structured and works is the same.
