We spent some time doing rough estimates of rackspace for MECU, here are some of the figures we developed for your consideration. These don't include the other partner labs in the count, their estimates are elsewhere. Other systems outside of this count include Safety (PPS/BCS/HPS/LSS), Timing and IT infrastructure.
| Full depth racks (42U) | Shallow racks (42RU, for small depth devices) | |
| Laser BTS controls | 4 | 2 |
| Xray BTS | 3 | 3 |
| TCX | 6 | 3 |
| TCO | 4 | 2 |
| Total | 17 | 10 |
Other controls requirements
More controls requirements were developed in March and April. These requirements were specifically focused on CA network size, DAQ bandwidth, EPICS archiver size and reliability, as well as the logging systems. High-level requirements are being developed as ConOps are updated/ generated.
LLE+LLNL Onsite Visit
The Rochester and Livermore team came to SLAC on March 22nd and 23rd to learn more about MEC operations and collaborate in person on the project. This was the first time all three partner labs met in person to work on MEC-U. The controls breakout session reviewed the operations and the high-level supervisory control software of the Omega laser facility. We also learned more details about the mechatronics, industrial and timing system controls of the LLE system.
