Frederik Wolff-Fabris | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 12.07.2023 |
General Announcement:
- There were two power glitches last night observed at Desy which switched OFF some cooling water pumps. Please check your systems and let XO know if you were also affected.
- SEPS Interlock tests driven by RPOs with help from Maurizio V. and CTRL colleagues are now scheduled to take place on Monday 17.07 instead of tomorrow.
This is because the required bunch patterns may not be provided by machine in due time this week. A tentative schedule for each instrument/SASE will be made in the coming day(s).
- Martin Doering mentions an e-mail was sent out to groups asking for the feedback on tasks that were postponed or cancelled. Please inform xo-planning if you have tasks in these situations.
- Steffen H. says starting today responsibility for the Data Acquisition services (Karabo devices and data group configuration) has been transferred from ITDM to CTRL.
So CTRL will be the support contact together with DOC. A small task force develops the DAQ at CTRL. Please contact CTRL and Steffen H. in case of questions.
CTRL:
- Deploy Karabo beckoff loops due to some bugs at PLC side which affects communication at Karabo. Patch for Karabo was prepared and will be deployed today at 13:00 in SA1-2-3 the moving loops; downtime few
minutes.
- Hardware intervention done by IT in replacing a mother board at SA3 which runns PLC loops. Takes longer (30 mins) to replace and restart Karabo.
DA:
- Calibration team will migrate offline calibration to different nodes. No interruption of services. DET is informed.
EEE:
- Bug of PLC and work around by CTRL: bug was there before and now that makes issues (see CTRL).

bring servers up.
- Tobias C. also confirms TS sees the 8C water was affected (which is used for the 20C water).
XRO:
- Nothing to report.
LAS:
