REMBRANDT - The REMote Beam instRumentation And Network Diagnosis Tool

Le résumé fourni par la source

As with any large accelerator complex in operation today, the beam instrumentation devices and associated data acquisition components for the coming FAIR accelerators will be distributed and installed over a large and partially inaccessible radiation exposed area. Besides operation of the device itself, like acquisition of data, it is mandatory to control also the supporting LAN based components like VME/μTCA crates, front-end controllers (FEC), middle ware servers and more. Fortunately, many COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) systems provide means for remote control and monitoring using a variety of standardized protocols like SNMP, IPMI or iAMT. REMBRANDT, the REMote Beam instRumentation And Network Diagnosis Tool, is a Java framework, which allows the authorized user to monitor and control remote systems while hiding the underlying protocols and connection information such as IP addresses, user-ids and passwords. In addition to monitoring the device state (like voltage and current load), the main features are the remote power switching of the systems and the reverse telnet boot process observation of FECs. REMBRANDT is designed to be easily extensible with new protocols and features. The software concept, including the client-server part and the database integration, will be presented.
