Enhancing Infrastructure Interfaces for Telescope Operations

In the realm of telescope operations, ensuring clear interfaces is crucial for smooth functioning. This involves addressing ill-defined interfaces, database management, locating interfaces, internal and external interface specifications, and tool requirements without the need for adaptations. By focusing on these aspects, the efficiency and effectiveness of telescope infrastructure can be significantly improved.

• Telescope operations
• Infrastructure interfaces
• Database management
• Tool requirements
• Interface specifications

1. Infrastructure Interfaces Hardware (Software) External Internal Tools 30. 1. 2017 mp

2. Ill defined interfaces create Extra costs Extra work !No adapters! Up to now mainly paperwork, but nothing finished undefined pending preliminary

3. Interface database 525 entries Last modification 2014 90 2015 414 2016 20 2017 1 Mainly templates of different kinds No responsable persons None really complete, often outdated None approved

4. CTA needs this database! Adapt or slightly improve the structure One template for all Fill completely! With responsable person! The whole set of documents has to be worked through. In most cases right from the beginning

5. Where is the interface? This is not clear in many cases! For example: Emergency power for a telescope in order to obey the requirement park safely in case of powercut Second independent power supplied for the whole array Local UPS under the supervision of CTAO Local UPS as part of a telescope under the responsibility of the telescope group

6. SST is the same

7. Interfaces to the external world Specifications for local suppliers Access road Border of leased land (fence?) Electricity Internet Water Sewerage Waste

8. Interfaces internally (next to each telescope) Access to road Foundation (concrete, anchors or bolts, outer ring) Supply point (Man hole) Electricity Data lines Water Compressed air

9. Around a telescope N Safety zone, no road! SP? foundation SP? SP?

10. Tools are like interfaces. They have to fit for several applications. !Avoid adapters! Storage places for parts of telescopes Adjustment system for telescope axes (marking, total station, level) Cranes Hooks Lifting gear Fork lift Lifting platform Mirror attachment (mirror installation, mirror coating) Jigs of any kind

11. CONCLUSION Documentation is only a structure and serves mainly as a place holder. Content can hopefully to some extend be found within the work packages. A tremendous amount of work ahead
