The purpose of the joint project between
CERN and Siemens is to carry out research and development in the
field of industrial controls.
The project will initially focus on the
improvement of the security of the Programmable Logic
controllers (PLC), on the opening of the Supervision Control And
Data Acquisition (SCADA) and PLC software to common software
practices and on the development of solutions for the software
deployment in large scale installation.
The Siemens and CERN contact persons for
the project will be respectively Dr. Thomas HAHN and Mr. Renaud
BARILLERE.
At CERN, in addition to the openlab Unit,
the project will involve the IT-Controls (CO) Group.
