1 IntroductionThis document constitutes a cost proposal for the prototype FSPC contract
amendment. The assumptions are based on the document distributed by IO.
The assumptions on the work expected to be performed on the tasks are clarified in
the following sections

3 Task Planning3.1 ATCA PCIe switch CardThe amount requested is 3 sample cards. In the following sections the foreseen tasks
are described.
Production
Manufacture (20 days)
Assembly and Test (20 days)
Packaging and delivery to IO
Software support
Linux driver (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64-bits platform version 6. For real
time requirements, a tuning on Red Hat MRG extension will be required.)
EPICS device support (using Core System V2.1 distribution.)
versioning in SVN
Linux RPM package for automatic installation
Test software (A monitoring screen based on CSS BOY and EPICS will be
developed allowing user interaction. The interface with the alarm server and
the archive engine will also be demonstrated using CSS tools. The user will be
allowed to change EPICS standard thresholds such as noise reduction, monitor
and archive dead bands).
Software Commissioning

ITER FCPS Project - AmendmentCost Proposalersion v1.01
Documentation,
Final engineering and design documents
Installation and user manuals
test plan (produced for each product detailing the different scenarios with the
expected results)
Note: software support of I/O modules should not rely exclusively on the MARTe
module which is only one specific use case.
3.2 ATCA ADC moduleThe amount requested is 2 sample cards
Production
Manufacture (20 days)
Assembly and Test (20 days)

test plan (produced for each product detailing the different scenarios with the
expected results)
Note: software support of I/O modules should not rely exclusively on the MARTe
module which is only one specific use case.
Note: For existing products, current material could be referenced and the provided
documentation could only focus on CODAC integration and usage
3.3 ATCA shelfThe amount requested is 1 shelve (selection only)
Selection of an ATCA commercial shelf that allows interconnection in a full-
mesh topology will be selected. World wide support of this product will be
required.
Note: For existing products, current material could be referenced and the provided
documentation could only focus on CODAC integration and usage
3.4 MARTe framework integration in CODAC Core System Integration in CODAC SVN repository
deployment as a RPM package
Samples to demonstrate the interface with EPICS and CSS tools.
MARTe framework will allow the production of “processed” signals and related
EPICS PVs. It will be possible to setup EPICS thresholds on processed and physical
signals.
For instance, alarm monitors will be invoked if the alarm status or severity has
changed – for analogue value, alarm status is changed when the hysteresis condition
(EPICS field HYST) - dead band around the alarm limits, is met. Archive and value
change monitors will be invoked if EPICS field ADEL – archive dead band, and
6
ITER FCPS Project - AmendmentCost Proposalersion v1.01
EPICS field MDEL – monitoring dead band, conditions are met.
The EPICS Analogue Input record has also a smoothing filter to reduce noise on the
input signal (EPICS field SMOO). This field will also apply to a processed signal by
MARTe.
3.5 FlexRIO EPICS ASYN generic device support Purchase FlexRIO Module
Elaboration of design, IDC and test plan document for the FlexRIO EPICS
ASYN following the standardization abstract.
Implementation of FlexRIO EPICS ASYN generic device support according
an abstract model provided by CODAC.
o Implementation of the LabVIEW/FPGA design following the abstract
model.
o Test and validation using LabVIEW environment.
o Implementation and debug using EPICS and ASYN (Codac Core
System V2.1).
o Deliver to SVN.
Product quality improvement. Integration of the different bugs detected.
o Problem reproduction.
LabVIEW code analysis.
IOC configuration review
Error identification and isolation of the error
(LabVIEW/FPGA, Setup, ASYN Driver, etc)
o Solution to provide. Implementation and verification
o Documentation.
Elaboration of the final document version and samples.
Note: the FlexRIO EPICS ASYN support device that should not be dependent of any
archive or communication system.

Note: CODAC will propose a standardization of FPGA Application Register Table
and an abstract model for FPGA Asyn device support which will be provided to
implement FlexRIO driver.

3.6 Aspects requiring further discussion
Open licensing model will be established for the products allowing all
vendors to adhere and access blueprints and code according to the
EURATOM Agreement licensing.
The amount of support required after delivery of the items to CODAC needs
to be further discussed in order to allow a correct estimation of the
manpower required.
4 Work Breakdown StructureThe foreseen Work Breakdown Structure for the project, given the present
understanding of its scope is illustrated in Figure 1

5 Cost EstimateTable 1 has a summary of the total estimated costs for the foreseen amendment
of the contract. Details are given in the following sections. The cost of traveling to
Cadarache for the kick-off meeting (4 person is included). The total cost
envisaged, given the present understanding of the scope of the amendment, is of
398554 euros-

5.1 Hardware costTable 2 discriminates the hardware items to be supplied to IO. For the ATCA
shelf it is assumed a shelf with full-mesh 40 Gb backplane. The exact model will
be selected during the project. The purchase of a flexRIO module is required for
the driver development and testing. It is assumed that IO will purchase it and
deliver to the team.
Table 2: Cost of the foreseen hardware to be delivered to IO
5.2 Manpower costTable 3 indicates the estimation (in hour) of the manpower required for each
task and respective estimated cost. The details of the work estimated for each
task are discriminated in the following sections (Table 4 to Table 8). It should be

noted that about half of the cost is related to the estimated time dedicated to
support activities. This point needs to be clarified with IO.
