The control and monitoring system for the ATLAS semi-conductor tracker

The ATLAS Semi-Conductor Tracker (SCT) will be made of 4088 silicon modules mounted on four barrel supports and eighteen end cap disks. At present module production has started in different sites all around the world. The assembly of the modules into the support structures is taking place at three different macro-assembly sites. To allow for the safety operation of the detector a Detector Control System (DCS) is being developed at CERN that will be close to the final ATLAS configuration. The DCS will control and monitor the power supply provided to the modules, the cooling system and the environmental variables. This paper will give an overview of the system required to operate and readout large-scale silicon detectors.
