Run Plan 2015/01/15 Controls Status¶

Following discussion between Chris Rogers, Pierrick Hanlet 10:00 on Tuesday 6th January

Summary¶

• Beamline ioc -> finished but problems with integration tests (due to external issues)
• Beamline state machine -> in progress, due Friday 9th Jan
• Run control -> not started, no estimate for completion
• Tracker -> in progress; critical issue is that SVS VME card has been replaced with a CAEN VME card; cannot at present control this even in standalone mode.
• EMR -> in progress
• Possible issue with SY527 (TOF HV)

Beamline¶

• Beamline ioc
  • Coding work is complete
  • PPS issue prevented operation of dipoles; bobs were not resetting; hence integration test failed
• Beamline state machine
  • This week maybe
• Run control
  • Not started don't know

• Diffuser state machine is near test
• Diffuser run control is in progress

Fall back on beamline is to run as standalone systems, controlled from the MLCR

Detectors¶

• EMR is challenging to complete
  • missing a LV power supply in the hall, one is currently installed
  • HV control is done
  • LV control is in progress
  • VME control is in progress
  • NIM monitoring is in progress
  • Rack switch is in progress
  • temp monitoring - wrong monitors installed, monitoring unlikely to be available in near term

• Tracker
  • Required new fibre runs, VME issues
  • To run CAEN, need to integrate infrastructure IOC, tracker initialisation, Hanlet monitoring IOC, control IOC
  • Plan to merge control IOC with Hanlet monitoring IOC
  • Significant risk to tracker operation
  • Alan Bross, Paul Rubinov arriving on 15th Jan to 24th Jan

(Shifter training Feb)¶

• Chris Heidt will be in charge of the training for the C+M shifter training
