EDMS Nr: 590511 TS-Note-2005-014 Group reference: TS-CV 24 May 2005 What do we expect from the CCC A vision for TS N. Bangert, M. Batz, O. Boettcher, G. Burdet, G. Cumer, R. Nunes, P. Pepinster, T. Riesco Abstract Control room operation of the Technical Infrastructure under the responsibility of the Technical Support Department (TS) was carried out for decades based on the round-the-clock operation from the Technical Control Room (TCR). The TCR functions and services have been integrated in the AB Department in January 2005 and will finally be assumed by the CERN Control Centre (CCC) in the beginning of 2006. The CCC will be in charge of beam, cryogenic and the Technical Infrastructure Operation for the LHC and its injectors. A well functioning operation and maintenance of the Technical Infrastructure will continue relying on the quality of control room services. The TS expectations of CCC operation are outlined in this paper, which shall result in a well-defined operational framework, for both the equipment groups and the control room team. Introduction The monitoring and control room operation of the Technical Infrastructure under the responsibility of the TS department was carried out by the TCR until the end of 2004. Since then all the functions and services so far covered by the TCR have been integrated in principle in the Meyrin Control Room (MCR) and shall be continued in the CCC as of the beginning of 2006. In the context of the CCC from where all CERN accelerators, cryogenic installations and the Technical Infrastructure will be operated, the TS expectations for the CCC have to be clearly established. On the one hand the integration of all control room teams in a single location will enhance communication and co-ordination of operation and maintenance activities carried out by different teams in different departments. On the other hand the operation of the parts of the Technical Infrastructure, which is not directly related to the accelerator operation m
