We developed control software for an enclosure system of the SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM) which provides a contiguous 2,500 deg2 integral-field survey. The LVM enclosure, located at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, is a building that hosts the LVM instruments (LVM-I). The enclosure system consists of four main systems: 1) a roll-off dome, 2) building lights, 3) a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system, and 4) a safety system. Two Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) as middleware software directly operate complex mechanisms of the dome and the HVAC via the Modbus protocol. The LVMECP is implemented by Python 3.9 following the SDSS software framework which adopted a protocol, called CLU, with message passing based on the RabbitMQ and Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). Also, we applied asynchronous programming to our system to process multiple requests simultaneously. The Dome PLC system remotely sends commands for the operation of a roll-off dome and enclosure lights. The HVAC PLC system keeps track of changing environmental values of the HVAC system in real-time. This software provides observers with remote access by high-level commands.
