WRAP
WRAP Web Rapid Application Platform (WRAP) is a new application builder aiming to provide a zero code, drag-n-drop means of configuring accelerator control applications. WRAP provides to non-software developers a user-friendly tool to develop interactive applications fully integrated in the Accelerator Control system. In addition, with this approach, the user investment is better protected against

Accelerator Software UI Components (AscBeans)
Accelerator Software UI Components (AscBeans) The AscBeans are a set of GUI components. The main idea behind the AscBeans GUI components is to simplify the development of Java applications by hiding as much as possible the complexity of: — More details to come

Controls Console Manager (CCM)
Controls Console Manager (CCM) The Controls Console Manager (CCM) is an application launcher in the shape of a menu tree allowing the launch and control of accelerator controls applications in CERN’s operational environments. The CCM provides the following services: Each CCM operational environment set of data is called an Operational Configuration (OpConfig) and it has

Accsoft Commons Web (ACW)
Accsoft Commons Web (ACW) What is Accsoft Commons Web (ACW)? A standard approach to Web development for Controls, upon which custom web applications can be based. Having a common approach overall, we keep development and maintenance costs down, whilst increasing the flexibility for people to work on one web application or another. Moreover, the applications

UCAP
UCAP What is UCAP? The Unified Controls Acquisition and Processing (UCAP) Framework provides, as the name suggests, a means to facilitate and streamline acquisition of Controls data for processing, before making the outputs available via the standard Controls Middleware (CMW). In UCAP, as shown in the figure above, the inputs, processing and outputs are referred

Python for Controls (Acc-Py)
Python for Controls (Acc-Py) Python's rich & diverse ecosystem of third-party packages and its ease of development are two of its key strengths which we wish to be able to leverage in order to be able to fully achieve the stated purpose. We leverage the full power of the Python package manager, through virtual environments

Controls Open Source MOnitoring System (COSMOS)
Controls Open Source MOnitoring System (COSMOS) What is COSMOS? The CERN Accelerator Control System relies on many components and a substantial infrastructure, which must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This hardware and software infrastructure needs to be monitored in order to anticipate or detect failures and fix them as quickly
-
Controls Configuration Service (CCS)
Controls Configuration Service (CCS) What is the Controls Configuration Service? The Controls Configuration Service is a key component in CERN’s data driven accelerator Control System. Based around a central database, the CCS stores configuration data covering all aspects of the Controls system, from hardware modules and their drivers, to the corresponding software devices and their

CERN-wide Layout Service (Layout)
CERN-wide Layout Service (Layout) What is the Layout Service? The Layout Service provides centralised management of integrated, controlled "Functional Position" data across CERN. Accelerator infrastructures are documented by modelling their architectures as topologies of Functional Positions which specify the size, position and rotation of the space that any component occupies as well as the relations

CERN-wide Accelerator Logging Service
CERN-wide Accelerator Logging Service What is the CERN Accelerator Logging Service? The CERN-wide Accelerator Logging Service was born out of the LHC Logging Project, which was launched in 2001. The service first became operational in late 2003, and has since become what is considered to be a mission-critical service. The current mandate can be summarized
