Next Meeting

9:30am Thurs 1-Nov-2012


Minutes

Present: Elliott W, Dan B, Manuel L, Josh B, Dave B, Hovanes E, Elton S.


We quickly went over the status reports to give Dan lots of time. See Dan's slides for more info. Some highlights from status reports:

  • Elliott needs to get back to the JInventory system, main thing needed is agreement on usage conventions.
  • Solenoid review early Nov, main thing needed is pressure safety doc, otherwise in good shape.
  • Josh said PLC programming ready, could begin cooldown tomorrow!
  • Danfysik board waiting for repair.
  • Elliott heard back from Danfysik concerning resistor choice strategy for cable disconnect circuit, needs to determine resistance value. QD mods won't take much time.
  • Fibers are installed in the CH, Rack Room switch will be installed soon, waiting for Liebert to turn UPS on.


Some highlights from Dan's talk:

  • Takes about 300 ms to get all params on one bus, all buses can run in parallel.
  • CAN connections are 4-wire, 50 kbits/s.
  • Should take about 5 mins to set params in all bases.
  • They are still working on requirements for interlocks, sensors, etc. for dark room.
  • Strategy and system choice depend on requirements, but system won't be installed for another year or so.
