Minutes
Present: Elliott W, Mark S, Cody D, Josh B, Hovanes E, Scot S.
Equipment Orders
Mark has a few items to order. He will not purchase rack bases since we inherited a large number of rack-mount power strips.
Solenoid Controls Redesign
- Scot presented near-final controls designs and drawings covering PLC chassis and module layouts, the many new or modified channels, changed actuator functions, etc.
- We will have a redundant He liquid level monitor based on differential pressure, no need for the proposed "idiot light" (carbon resistor) system.
- Josh will basically rewrite the entire PLC controls program from scratch, using the existing version as an "example."
- We likely need one more Lakeshore Temperature monitor for the flange temperature probes.
- Elliott reported we're nearly done with understanding and determining modifications needed for the quench detector.
- Mark noted that Class 1 systems require less than 5 mA so that 20k resistors will work for 100 V max. George needs to verify the max voltage during fast dumps and quenches.
- Mark will order the shunt replacement when Yi verifies it meets fast DAQ requirements.
- Mark will have a center tab welded to the dump resistor so he can use it for the ground fault detector.
EPICS
- Elliott reported plans to meet with Accelerator to explore many topics, including layering CSS/Databrowser on top of the MyA achive engine.
- Hovanes will move on to alarm systems after the archiver.
- Nerses continues to work on the JLab discriminator, next will be high and low voltage systems.
Test Stand
- Josh verified the SOE plus relays works as expected.
- Next he will check the 435NBX ethernet-to-serial gateway.
ELogs
- Elliott demonstrated the new Midas elogs for manuals, maintenance logging and procedures. Comments are welcome, and please start using them.
- We still need to choose and operator elog.
Mantis
Elliott reviewed recent progress reported in the Mantis system. More people need to start using this!
