All beamlines in operation.
The attachment ATT#1 shows the beam delivery of this afternoon, with the pulse energies on the left and the number of bunches on the right.
SA2 was not affected, SA1 was essentially without beam from 13h45 to 16h15 (2.5h) and SA3 didn't get enough (386) pulses in about the same period. |

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. |

Beckhoff communication loss SA1-EPS
12h19: BKR informs PRC about a limitation to 30 bunches in total for the north branch.
The property "safety_CRL_SA1" is lmiting in MPS.
DOC and EEE-OCD and PRC work on the issue. |

Damage on YAG screen of SA1_XTD2_IMGFEL
A damage spot was detected during the restart of SA1 beam operation at 14h30.
To confirm that it is not something in the beam itself or a damage on another component (graphite filter, attenuators, ...), the scintillator
is moved from YAG to another scintillator. |

SA1 Beckhoff issue
SA1 blocked to max. 2 bunches and SA3 limited to max 29 bunches
At 9h46, SA1 goes down to single bunch. PRC is called because SA3 (SCS) cannot get the required >300 bunches anymore. (at 9h36 SA3 was limited
to 29 bunches/train) |

Broken Radiation Interlock
Beam was down for all beamlines due to a broken radiation interlock in the SPB/SFX experimental hutch.
The interlock was brocken accidently with the shutter open, see https://in.xfel.eu/elog/OPERATION-2024/203
Beam was down for 42 min (from 3h00 to 3h42) but the machine came back with same perfomrmance. |

Broken Bridges
Around 21h20 the XPD group notices that several karabo-to-DOOCS bridges are broken.
The immediate effect is that in DOOCS all XGMs in all beamlines show warnings
(because they don't receive important status informations from karabo anymore, for instance the insertion status of the graphite filters nrequired |

20h16: beam down in all beamlines due to a gun problem
20h50: x-ray beams are back
Shortly later additional 5 min down (20h55 - 21h00) for all beamlines, then the gun issue is solved. |

SA2 cell#5 undulator segment moved at ~09:45AM Fri to 25mm without aparent reason and undulator experts need a ZZ to exchange power supply; FEL
instensity dropped from 230uJ to 60uJ s consequence.
RCs are preparing south branch for the iminent ZZ. HED is informed. |

- While FEL IMG with YAG screen was inserted in SA1, EPS/MPS was not limited to the expected 2 bunches, but to 30 bunches;
- It was found
the condition #3 ("SA1_XTD2_VAC/Switch/SA1_PNACT_Close") at the EPS Mode-S was disabled which should be always enabled;
- Condition
#3 has been enabled again and now SA1 is limited to 2 bunches, as expected when YAG screen is inserted.
Further investigations will be done to |

Dear MID colleagues, Svitozar (PRC), Bolko and Shan (RCs),
This morning we faced the situation where MID was limited to 400 pulses (mode M) via the EPS signals. The current RF window set at the machine
allows to the requested 450 pulses. |

This is to report some findings during operation that should be looked into (mostly to avoid in the future, because both negatively affect data quality
of the user expt at FXE):
At the moment, the 99:1 mode affects 4 to 5 pulses out of 100 in SA1, see first screenshot that shows in the top right the IPM reading |
