LABORATORI NAZIONALI DI LEGNARO
The LHC cryogenics has widely adopted the CERN standard control framework UNICOS in order to enhance ease of operation and maintenance and to provide long-term durability. After the completion of the LHC construction, CERN has undertaken a large project for the upgrade of the obsolete control system (total of 15) of helium cryoplants cooling superconducting magnet of various CERN detectors as well as large cryogenic test facilities. The technical procedure used in order to meet the technological challenge in term of installation constraint, reduced manpower and minimal costs has proven to be effective. The refurbishing of the ALPI cryogenic control system using the CERN/UNICOS framework could bring a case study for HEI ISOLDE project? A technical presentation of the pros and cons is detailed.
