Minutes

Present: Elliott W, Josh B, Mark S.


UPS and Summer Student

Rob Ryan, a CNU summer student, is looking into how to communicate with the Liebert UPS. Possibilities include SNMP, hard-wired relays. We may need to purchase "Intellislot" cards for both, Walt is checking whether we ordered any. Both EPICS and AFECS can communicate via SNMP, and the PLC can sense relays. We may want to implement hardware and software communication with the UPS for redundancy, particularly if the UPS will power critical systems in the hall.


JInventory System and Barcode Scanner

Elliott added new columns as requested at previous meetings. Elliott and Hovanes will meet with a barcode scanner salesman right after lunch, stay tuned...


Counting House

Mark will find out why there's been no progress on installing the RDC and try to get it moving again.


Solenoid

Elliott has been tasked with creating a full FastTrack schedule for the Nov test (despite his best efforts to pawn it off on someone else).


PLC Programming

Josh has been busy modifying and rewriting the existing PLC program. He is making great use of structured text and add-on instructions. Partly as a training exercise, and partly because it will be useful, He will have Dave Butler rewrite the Danfysik communication code (all ladders now, change to a mostly structured text).


ELog

Accelerator will demo their first attempt at a major upgrade soon. The upgrade is based on requests from the four halls.
