Control System and Operation of the Cryogenic Test Facilities for LHC Series Superconducting Magnets

摘要

Prior to their final preparation before installation in the tunnel, the approx1800 series superconducting magnets of the LHC machine will be entirely tested at reception on modular test facilities using dedicated control systems. The test facilities are operated by teams of high-skilled and trained operators. This paper describes the architecture of the control & supervision system of the cryogenic test facilities as well as the tools and management systems developed to help in real time all involved operation teams in order to reach the required industrial production level.
