To-do for solenoid controls redesign


  • Wiring
    • document trip chains
    • label circuit breakers


  • Danfysik power supply
    • do we want to go to Ethernet based control?
    • choose ground fault detection mechanism


  • Quench detector
    • can we get a good balance?
    • do we to design our own QD?


  • Instrumentation
    • implement system to isolate fault detectors and determine time sequence of trips
    • monitor circuit breakers


  • VME-based fast DAQ
    • NI vs VME?


  • A-B HMI improvements
    • fault sequence screens


  • A-B PLC program improvements
    • custom instructions to simplify everything


  • EPICS
    • new channels


  • Viewpoint
    • test


  • EWEB
    • use just for back-door access
    • security?


Notes

  • note that max ramp rate in the hall is approximately 10V / 20H = 0.5 A/sec
  • need travelers for coil installation.
  • should we install a UPS on the Danfysik contactor and control boards?
  • should we install a second contactor in the Danfysik power supply?
  • do we need additional valves, check valves, bypasses, whatever?
  • do we need Dataforth voltage attenuators on coil tap channels?
  • do we need active isolation of coil tap channels, etc?
  • should we monitor all circuit breakers?
  • should we monitor all relays?
  • what is the effect of B field on sensors/relays? should some instrumentation be relocated?
  • do we need new flow sensors, or should they be relocated?
  • lock box for power supply key
  • more ethernet power strips
  • use custom ("add-on") instructions to simplify PLC code
  • install permanent VME-based fast DAQ
  • logarithmic or equivalent current and voltage measurements
  • isolate coil taps
  • sequence of events module
  • attenuators on Dataforth modules
  • check dump resistor and diode in checklist, interlocks
  • backup in case dump resistor/diode broken
  • dump at low current to check dump system in checkout list
  • logarithmic amps on voltages to get full range
  • manual check of resistor/diode connection and polarity
  • improve checklists and test plan
  • resistor/diode checks in maintenance OSP and/or operations OSP
