Beckhoff communication loss SA1-EPS (again)

14h00 Same issue as before, but now EEE cannot clear the problem anymore remotely.
An access is required immediately to repair the SA1-EPS loop to regain communication.
EEE-OCD and VAC-OCD are coming in for the access and repair.

 

PRC update at 16h30 on this issue

One person each from EEE-OCD and VAC-OCD and DESY-MPC shift crew made a ZZ access to XTD2 to resolve the imminent Beckhoff EPS-loop issue.
The communication coupler for the fiber to EtherCat connection of the EPS-loop was replaced in SA1 rack 1.01.
Also, a new motor power terminal (which had been smoky and removed yesterday) was inserted to close the loop for regaining redundance.
All fuses were checked. However, the functionality of the motor controller in the MOV loop could not yet be repaired, thus another ZZ access
after the end of this beam delivery (e.g. next tuesday) is required to make the SRA slits and FLT movable again. EEE-OCD will submit the request.

Moving FLT is not crucial now, and given the planned photon energies as shown in the operation plan, it can wait for repair until WMP.
Moving the SA1 SRA slits is also not crucially mandatory in this very moment (until tuesday), but it will be needed for further beam delivery in the next weeks.

Conclusions: 

In total, this afternoon SA1+SA3 were about 3 hours limited to max. 30 bunches.
The ZZ-access lasted less than one hour, and SA1/3 thus didn't have any beam from 15h18 to 16h12 (54 min).
Beam operation SA1 and SA3 is now fully restored, SCS and FXE experiments are ongoing.
The SA1-EPS-loop communication failure is cured and should thus not come back again.
At 16h30, PRC and SCS made a test that 384 bunches can be delivered to SA3 / SCS. OK.
Big thanks to all colleagues who were involved to resolve this issue: EEE-OCD, VAC-OCD, DOC, BKR, RC, PRC, XPD, DESY-MPC

 

Timeline + statistics of safety_CRL_SA1 interlockings (see ATT#1)
(these are essentially the times during which SA1+SA3 together could not get more than 30 bunches)

12h16 interlock NOT OK
13h03 interlock OK
duration 47 min

13h39 interlock NOT OK
13h42 interlock OK
duration 3 min

13h51 interlock NOT OK
13h53 interlock OK
duration 2 min

13h42 interlock NOT OK
15h45 interlock OK
duration 2h 3min

In total, this afternoon SA1+SA3 were about 3 hours limited to max. 30 bunches.
The ZZ-access lasted less than one hour, and thus SA1/3 together didn't have any beam at all from 15h18 to 16h12 (54 min).
SA3 had beam with 29 or 30 pulses until start of ZZ, while SA1 already lost beam for good at 13h48 until 16h12 (2h 24 min).
SA3/SCS needed 386 pulses which they had until 11h55, but this afternoon they only got / took 386 pulses/train from 13h04-13h34, 13h42-13h47 and after the ZZ.
