Entry   Status after the 9.30 Meeting, posted by Adriano Violante on 08 May 2017, 15:18 

 Vacuum (M. Dommach):

  • Systematic tests of ion pumps in XTD9 almost finished - ongoing
  • Interface with MPS has to be tested
  • Problem with the fast valve in XTD2 and 9 - it is possible to close it remotely but not possible to open it again. Checking of the cabling is ongoing by Vacuum group
  • After restart of the vacuum loop many pumps in XTD 9 and 2 show an unknown error and some of them are not readble - CAS working on that.

 

PLC (P. Gessler, T. Freyermuth):

  • Implementation of shutters in Karabo ongoing -XS3 shutter in the VAC loop now. XTD9 to do.

Karabo (A. Silenzi):

  • GUI stability improved with a temporary solution. This should be enough to guarantee the proper functioning of images acquisition.
  • Update of devices list ongoing
  • Library for motors (base device), elmo and technosoft, being worked out.

Plans for today:

  • XGM work on gas injection
  • Bring back Karabo and clear XGM error codes
  • Perform systematic test of DPS in XTD9

Other topics:

  • No 09:30 meeting tomorrow - next meeting will be on Wednesday

Entry   Slow loading in karabo GUI, posted by Jan Grünert on 04 May 2017, 19:40 

The current slow response times in the karabo GUI are the following (some measured times for reference):

- opening a project from the project manager : 45sec (just loading, not yet touching any device or scene)
- opening a scene and receiving the status for all devices e.g. XGM@XTD2 : between 90 and 120 sec
- beyond that, it's never clear if the displayed gauge values are true/actual and must be separately read.
- reading explicitly a gauge value (with command READ in configurator) gives currently an updated value after about 10 sec (should be almost immediate when requested)
-----> working with this (getting actual work done) is practically almost impossible

- this is using the "new" gui server "sa1-br-sys-con-gui2"
- this is after 19h30 (shouldn't less traffic help the performance ?)

Entry   Info from H. Sinn, posted by Tobias Haas on 04 May 2017, 11:36 

 Hallo allerseits

 
der Beschleuniger wird heute um 13:00 Uhr abgeschaltet und erst wieder Montag 
angeschaltet. Ich hab Winni überredet, dass wir den XTD10 brechen können, damit ihr 
heute und  morgen im XTD10 Zugang habt. 
Allerdings solltet ihr nicht die Magnettür zum XSDU2 öffnen, weil dann auch der komplette XTD4 
aus dem Interlock fällt. 
Ich hab mit Michael Bieler verabredet, dass wir in der zweiten Maihälfte Absuchtraining für XFEL Leute 
machen können (bis ca. 10 Leute auf einmal wäre sinnvoll), damit wir in Zukunft dann XTD10 und XTD9 selber 
absuchen könnnen (Termin kommt noch). 
 
Grüße 
 
Harald 
 
Entry   Gas Section Interlock on XTD9 - Shut off valve also operative, posted by Raúl Villanueva-Guerrero on 03 May 2017, 14:38 45.png

 Dear all,

during the test run today by our colleagues of WP74, the interlock condition inside the XGM module was met (small volume pressure burst up to 10-2 mbar range). Now we can see also the expected cut-off event of the gas injection (see attached pictured). It seems that the reason why there was any feedback from the respective shut-off valve was the solenoid actuator on the respective shut-off valve was set in manual mode.

This means that XTD9 Interlock for the whole gas section has been up and running as expected the whole time.

Best Regards.

Entry   Correction to plans for Vacuum (e-log message n3. 199) in XTD9, posted by Raúl Villanueva-Guerrero on 03 May 2017, 11:15 

 Dear all,

it seems that this morning was somehow a misunderstanding. The XTD9 Gas Section Interlock test was succesfully finished the last 26th of April (see e-log message nr. 179).

There´s no further activity planned for this system.

 

Regards.

Entry   Status after 0930 meeting, posted by Tobias Haas on 03 May 2017, 11:04 

Tunnel Status: XTD2/4/10 closed. XTD9 open. Controlled Access to 2/4/10 possible upon request

 

Vacuum (M. Dommach):

  • Systematic tests of ion pumps in XTD9 concluded
  • Tests of DPS in XTD9 should happen today with R. Villanueva
  • Systematic tests of all interlock conditions in XTD9 should happen tomorrow

PBLMs (H. Sinn, P. Gessler):

  • Debugging session for the ELMO controller was successful. The problem was traced to details in the parameter settings
  • Proper setting of parameters is tricky and requires care and expert knowledge.
  • Proper parameters now need to be programmed into the firmware. Manual setting is also possible but not favored.
  • AE will set this up and deploy next week in order to maximise optimal use of resources (This week only one expert, TF, is here)

Imagers (A. Koch):

  • Imagers in XTD2 and XTD9 are ready for beam
  • It is important that images can be stored. This is not yet the case and will be required latest when PBS commissioning starts
  • AK will be away from tomorrow until next Thursday

XGM (J. Grünert):

  • Late yesterday, Karabo went into error triggering the interlock on the Vatterfly valves on both XGMs. Pressure is still low but slowly rising
  • If the condition cannot be resolved remotely a local intervention is necessary. This can possibly wait until the scheduled interrupt tomorrow
  • Today tests should occur with the DESY experts for gas injection
  • Tests are currently hindered by the Karabo problem. AS suspects that this may have to do with the redeployment of Karabo yesterday. He is now working with high pressure on solving the problem

FXE (A. Galler):

  • Currently commissioning loop 1. There is still a problem reading out encoders. It appears that this is a firmware issue. TF is working on this.

SPB (B Weinhausen):

  • Fixes were deployed in the firmware for the Reinshaw encoder problem (16/32 bit issue). Still one encoder is in error. TF points out that this is a different problem. He will investigate

PLC (P. Gessler, T. Freyermuth):

  • CRL in XTD2 was integrated into the PLC motion loop yesterday during the access.
  • Meeting today with DESY experts to finalise the EPS logic
  • Focus this week on SPB and AGIPD

Karabo (A. Silenzi):

  • Karabo (Components Beckhoff-Device and Beckhoff-Com) were re-deployed yesterday.
  • This maybe the origin of the problems observed in the evening 

Plans for today:

  • XGM work on gas injection
  • Bring back Karabo and clear XGM error codes
  • Perform systematic test of DPS in XTD9

Other topics:

  • No 09:30 meeting tomorrow due to access. 
  • Request should be made to break the interlock in XTD10 on maintenance days in order to allow continuation of installation work

 

Entry   XTD9 vacuum now ok, but not in XTD2: turbos on XGM@XTD2 still in ERROR, posted by Jan Grünert on 02 May 2017, 22:27 

Wajid and Leonce from CAS have managed to get us the karabo controls back.
We have now put the XGM@XTD9 back into normal vacuum operation, and opened finally the vatterfly valves, this one is ok, and we checked also the entire XTD9 gas section to be ok.

However, in XGM@XTD2, both XGM turbo pumps are still in ERROR and we cannot get them out - it is an error on the PLC level ? It's something we have not seen before.
The vacuum is at a controlled level of 5E-7mbar thanks to interlock-closed vatterflys.

Request to AE: tomorrow morning, we must remotely get the two turbos out of error (PLC client ?), otherwise we have to request a ZZ access to the tunnel XTD2 for local intervention on the turbo pump controllers.

Request to the AE+CAS group leaders: apparently we need to organize OCD also during nights on weekdays.

 

Entry   XGM scenes/devices offline - UHV pressures increasing - Please respond now !!, posted by Jan Grünert on 02 May 2017, 20:11 

All devices went into unknown state in the karabo XGM scenes in XTD2 and XTD9 at 19h52.

Pressures INCREASE since then (as measured/shown in DOOCS):

XTD2:  2,5E-7mbar and rising

XTD9:  7,7E-7mbar and rising

Please respond now !! We are still in but want to go home !

Entry   Access to XTDs on Thursday, posted by Adriano Violante on 02 May 2017, 15:30 

 This Thursday the XTDs will be accessible with ZZ procedure. Access can be requested via T. Haas. 

Entry   Status of Vacuum System , posted by Harald Sinn on 02 May 2017, 10:56 

XTD2: All gate valves are now OK (not interlocked) after re-instantiating and re-setting the XGM_DP_OK. 

The interlock errors of some valves in XTD9 are shown in the screen shots below (Janni and Valerii starting now in XTD9 to debug some more controllers)

 

 

Entry   PBLM Motor drivers in PreOP, posted by Tobias Freyermuth on 02 May 2017, 10:05 

Hi all,

 

due to ongoing tests with the PBLM motor drivers I have to set the Elmo drivers in PreOp mode.

That should not affect any other terminal in the loop.

 

Cheers,
