Post on behalf of Harald Sinn:

 for the non-vacuum part of WP73 we have the following situation: 

 Post on behalf of Raul Villanueva:

As we just finished the exhaustive testing and final adjustments of local
test and the interlock program for each of the turbopumps at each
Differential Pumping Sections in XTD2 Tunnel, we are happy to announce
that the system has been released and is up and running smoothly and under
control.  That means that the isolation gate valves in front of each
turbopump is open and therefore the latter is pumping already the beamline
as expected during the upcoming operation phase of the facility. That also
means that WP74, after having already received the wiring documentation
from the Vacuum Group can proceed with the same protocol to keep the whole
gas section in XTD2 in a consistent fail-safe status.

With this positive news, we wish you to have a nice evening,

Regards,

Raúl, Tobias and Nerea,

The VCTF-components-list  has been updated. Labels on components, as far as visible, are in accordance with names in list.

... please, check for consistency, when naming and labeling XGM components!

please find the new (extended) components list under the old link given in the minutes http://tinyurl.com/zn7otsa ,

and check whether all components are included and charakterized by the correct data.

The Vacuum Controls Commissioning Task Force initially helped to get the vacuum components extending from the gate valve at 2678 m to the gate valve at 2730 m in XTD2. This comprised the valves and pumps and the associated vacuum interlock logic. The necessary components were all installed and locally tested. As the next step the PLC firmware for the control of these devices was generated including the interlock logic. Finally the system was connected to version 1.47 of Karabo, which was able to monitor and control all components. A live demonstration is currently still outstanding.

As the next step the vacuum section considered should be extended upstream to include all components up to the gate valve at 2630m. In addition to vacuum components this should include the installed photon beam line components. The goal is to include all these systems into one continuous vacuum, commission all systems locally, generate the PLC firmware, implement the required vacuum interlocks, monitor the state of the system remotely via the PLC command line interface and eventually connect to Karabo and monitor and control the system via Karabo remotely using the consolidated version 2.0. While this commissioning effort is going on, development should occur on three days during the week (Mo-Wed) while the system should be operated continuously during the remaining time, thus also testing long-term stability. This should be achieved by the end of 2016.

I have included the status columns provided by Alessandro and Sandor in the component list. Please find it in the usual location here: http://tinyurl.com/zn7otsa

 Karabo to PLC communication has been tested successfully in the SA1 Vacuum installation.

OK.png -> Initial Status, all OK

 I reproduced the behaviour of the PLC on beckhoffSim. This reproduces the same behaviour seen in the tunnel devices (devices hang).

Implemented the fix and verified the correct behaviour with beckhoffSim.

Fixes will be verified next Monday with the tunnel system.

Have a nice weekend

Alessandro
