To-do for solenoid controls redesign


  • Recommendations from Director's Review (Electrical System and Quench Protection) and Lehman Review
    • determine if cold diodes can increase quench detection - NO, Nov-2011
    • add fast DAQ system prior to testing first coil - Done
    • add tests for internal shorts, shorts to ground and ground faults in coil and power supply to start-up sequence
    • add second dump circuit breaker - NO, Mar-2012
    • add additional quench circuit diodes - NO, Mar-2012
    • add second quench detector (connected to second dump breaker) - PLC adequate as redundant QD - Mar 2012
    • add center tap to dump resistor and monitor ground current in the PLC
    • add UPS on dump breakers to avoid fast discharges
    • perform Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)


  • Logbook research
    • check elog for all problems - Done Mar-2012


  • Infrastructure
    • get fourth rack - Done Nov 2011
    • connect fourth rack to other three racks

      • list from Mark - Done Dec-2011
      • Use RTI 435NBX instead of Point I/O serial modules
      • Use RTI 490NBX for Ethernet/IP readout
    • replace shunt with flux-monitoring sensor Done Feb-2012 use CEBAF board readout of ZFCT
    • design and build breakout box


  • NI PXI fast DAQ
    • test PXI system - Done Feb-2012
    • program and connect to PLC, EPICS

    • downtime due to power loss is deciding factor



Notes

  • max ramp rate in the hall is approximately 10V / 20H = 0.5 A/sec


Possible future improvements

  • monitor selected circuit breakers so operators can quickly find them when they trip
