“…Instead of producing more FEROL boards that are powered and controlled through PCI-X because of the legacy interface to the FRL, a new readout board was implemented, based on the 𝜇TCA standard, incorporating the features of four FEROL boards. The new FEROL-40 board [249] receives up to four channels at 10 Gb/s using the SlinkExpress and sends the data on four links of 10 Gb/s Ethernet using TCP/IP.…”

Since the initial data taking of the CERN LHC, the CMS experiment has undergone substantial upgrades and improvements. This paper discusses the CMS detector as it is configured for the third data-taking period of the CERN LHC, Run 3, which started in 2022. The entire silicon pixel tracking detector was replaced. A new powering system for the superconducting solenoid was installed. The electronics of the hadron calorimeter was upgraded. All the muon electronic systems were upgraded, and new muon detector stations were added, including a gas electron multiplier detector. The precision proton spectrometer was upgraded. The dedicated luminosity detectors and the beam loss monitor were refurbished. Substantial improvements to the trigger, data acquisition, software, and computing systems were also implemented, including a new hybrid CPU/GPU farm for the high-level trigger.

“…The POH converts the electrical signal from the TBM to an optical signal and delivers it to the FED. The FED handles decoding and deserialization, and builds event fragments, which are sent to the Central DAQ Front-End Readout Optical Link-40 (FEROL40) card [8], the first stage of the CMS Central DAQ chain, via a small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) 10 Gb/s S-Link Express transceiver (Tx). There are 24 input channels per FED card; two receivers (Rx) with twelve channels each receive the data from the sensor modules.…”

In 2017 a new pixel detector was installed in the CMS detector. This so-called Phase-1 pixel detector features four barrel layers in the central region and three disks per end in the forward regions. The upgraded pixel detector requires an upgraded data acquisition (DAQ) system to accept a new data format and larger event sizes. A new DAQ and control system has been developed based on a combination of custom and commercial microTCA parts. Custom mezzanine cards on standard carrier cards provide a front-end driver for readout, and two types of front-end controller for configuration and the distribution of clock and trigger signals. Before the installation of the detector the DAQ system underwent a series of integration tests, including readout of the pilot pixel detector, which was constructed with prototype Phase-1 electronics and operated in CMS from 2015 to 2016, quality assurance of the CMS Phase-1 detector during its assembly, and testing with the CMS Central DAQ. This paper describes the Phase-1 pixel DAQ and control system, along with the integration tests and results. A description of the operational experience and performance in data taking is included.

“…The choice of the exact protocol and network technology is still under evaluation. The CMS DAQ group has experience with TCP/IP implementations in various FPGA families, and at multiple speeds [8,9]. The baseline D2S technology at the time of writing is 100 Gbit/s Ethernet (four 25 Gbit/s lanes) using 100GBASE-CWDM4 interfaces to handle the approximately 250 m cable length to the computing center on the surface.…”

The CMS detector will undergo a major upgrade for Phase-2 of the LHC program, starting around 2026. The upgraded Level-1 hardware trigger will select events at a rate of 750 kHz. At an expected event size of 7.4 MB this corresponds to a data rate of up to 50 Tbit/s. Optical links will carry the signals from on-detector front-end electronics to back-end electronics in ATCA crates in the service cavern. A DAQ and Timing Hub board aggregates data streams from back-end boards over point-to-point links, provides buffering and transmits the data to the commercial data-to-surface network for processing and storage. This hub board is also responsible for the distribution of timing, control and trigger signals to the back-ends. This paper presents the current development towards the DAQ and Timing Hub and the design of the first prototype, to be used as for validation and integration with the first back-end prototypes in
