UNICOS-CPC is a package from UNICOS to engineer industrial PLC based process control systems.

The goal of UNICOS is to standardize the development of control applications at CERN by:

• Emphasize good practices for both, design and operation, of the continuous process control applications
• Reduce the cost of automating continuous processes (e.g. cooling, HVAC...)
• Optimize life-cycle engineering efforts (e.g. using automatic code generation tools)

Part of the UNICOS Framework

ATS Common Hardware & Software Technologies Technical Board (CTTB)

• Analyses common hardware & software activities to avoid duplication of work or services

• Proposes forthcoming common hardware & software technology activities with input from the community forums

• Stimulates a common approach & strengthens standardisation effort of hardware & software solutions

• Identifies activities and projects which incur significant hardware or software effort and/or impact

• Collects & studies proposals for control infrastructure upgrades/consolidation/end-of-support

• Receives regular updates & evaluates impact on medium- and long-term control infrastructure activities

• Reports on ongoing activities to CTSB

A runtime virtualization technique, providing "containerization" from "images". Modern SW systems rely more and more on lightweight virtualization using docker and similar techniques. See https://www.docker.com/ .

This is one of the key technologies for ICS.

The DPO prepares and follows-up the execution of the departmental budget, plans and monitor activities with a transversal perspective allowing the department to proactively adjusts its priorities, strategies and actions.

The DSO is appointed by the Safety Office to fulfill obligations in matters of safety at the department level.
