* Critical Path Items
| Focus | Task | Responsible person | Status | Notes | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hall-Preparation | Setting up zoom meetings in the Hall | Ishara | Checked with Anchit, Vibodha & Nuwan on (see notes)
Rick contacted FNAL to install signal enhancers.
Rick will follow up with Andrew (FNAL)
Rick and Hugo confirmed that the additional wifi enhancer is installed and checked. |
| ||||||
| Communication | Order at least thee very good walkie talkies | Ishara | ||||||||
| QT System | Finish QT Electrical setup with ODH interface, level probe setup and read-in (LN2 and LHe, purchase new ones), pressure transducers (all prep for QT visit) | Waqar | ||||||||
| Microwave Setup | Setup both independent EIO tubes (one in cave, one in counting house) both with remote operation of PS and both with remote control of stepper motor for frequency control. Need cooling water monitor and PS interlock for each. | Waqar | ||||||||
| NMR | Setup remote NMR testing with crystal signal readout at counting house target computer as well as pressure readout in PDP for manometer. Also make adjustments to PDP software to be able to read in multiple units into the slow controls BNC patch panel. Setup coil and target insert for reading NMR data. | Kenichi/Ishara |
| Plans:
| ||||||
| Temp Sensors 1 | Setup a set of 8 temperature sensors on the magnet coils in the cave. Those should be setup now to read from the target computer. | Kenichi |
| Plans:
| ||||||
| Temp Sensors 2 | Setup a set of 7 (or possibly more?) temperature sensors for transfer lines: two for LN2, one for two LHe, two on outside of magnet dewar, two on outside of purifier. | Kenichi |
| Plans:
| ||||||
| Pressure Readout | Make sure we can ready out three critical pressures from system into PDP. | Kenichi/Ishara |
| Need nose pressure which has two units 100 Torr and 1000 Torr. Try to get them both read in to PDP. If possible also the He3 Pressure probe as well. All 3 are used in the fridge. | ||||||
| PDP patch panel | BNC patch panel to read in other slow control devices on the fly. | Kenichi/Ishara |
| The slow controls part should already be working so I think you just need to map out the channels and try to read in different types of hardware. Basically anything with a voltage, temp, pressure, flow, just so we know what channel are ready in case we need this. | ||||||
| PDP mod | Learn PDP code | Kenichi/Zulkaida | Learn PDP code enough that if we have to make some simple modification that we can do that will out much effort. No big modification should ever be needed. Know how to run and modify NMR part, and pressure part, and how to run and take TE measurements. | |||||||
| Zulkaida | Get both Turbos running | Zulkaida | Get both the big turbos systems running that connect to the target vacuum. Document and post how to do these operations and setup. | |||||||
| SCM Vacuum | Vacuum for SC magnet needs repair and leak checking. Once working again and leak tight then must readout vacuum pressure on target computer and monitor for several days. | Zulkaida/Ernesto | ||||||||
Fridge box, Annealing box, Micorwave box | Finish construction of the electronics and boxes and submit ORC and install boxes to rack in Hall. Test operation of systems once possible. | Waqar/Vibodha | Can setup and test all of these units use mock devices so we don't have to wait to finish them. | |||||||
| All MFM and MFC systems | There is two Mass Flow Control (MFC) and one Mass Flow Monitor (MFM). The MFCs are connected before the KNF pumps and the MFM is connected after the Roots exhaust piping. | Kenichi/Ishara | ||||||||
| Documents | Document all QT and Roots PLC/HMI controls for easy operations and diagnostics | Waqar | Document and train for operations | Put in both our website and docdb | ||||||
| KNF pumps | Add plug to KNF pump so it can be plugged into the socket | Waqar | We will eventually have to of the normal plugs here but right now need to fix power cable. | |||||||
| Roots | Setup Roots to run and monitor from control room | Waqar | Need to have up and running full system monitor of roots pump including all pressure and temperature and flow sensors, maybe all not read out by system, if not determine which pressure transducer we can readout and setup that up to read in the data stream .Make all documentation about roots PLC/HMI and how these are monitored remotes during shifts and remote operation. We may need to add sensors for monitoring. Need exact interlock limits in schematic/interlock write up and posted to docbd or somewhere our group can find it (what pressure and flow, temperature switches are set to).
| |||||||
| Magnet and shim PS | Learn how to operate and document and post. Do PS tests and post results. | Waqar/Zulkaida | Document all setup so other people can do operate and diagnose as needed | |||||||
| Magnet and shim PS | Complete all the connections in the magnet rack and test shim and magnet PS from control room (make sure can do this test using proper Mag PS cable in cave) | Waqar / Zulaida | ||||||||
| Magnet and shim PS | Testing each device on Magnet rack get new relay for shim PS and a backup | Zulkaida / Waqar | document all details for easy setup and diagnostics | Magnet_and_cryo_rack_(see page 4,5,6) | ||||||
| Magnet | Get some new level probes with readout for magnet fast | Zulkaida / Waqar | ||||||||
| Backup mag turbo | Need to have backup cable and turbo ready | Zulkaida / Waqar | ||||||||
| Piping, line, tube, QT, Mechanics & Dewars | QT System preparation (see list) | Ishara/Waqar | In progress: 90% | Work with Rick and Dustin to get these things setup | ||||||
| Fridge | Pressure test on the shell | Dustin/Zulkaida | Done at UVA | |||||||
| Roots gate valve | Setup controls for main gate valve | Waqar | Need connections from pneumatic air compressor (have to ask Rick where to connect). And need electronics to open/close gate valve from counting house. All analogue control is preferred. | |||||||
| Magnet Risers | Make new magnet risers and install | Vibohda | redesign to have fill and u-tube fit, make drawings to submit to Meyer or FNAL (not UVA) shop. | |||||||
| Pressure sensors | 6 pressure sensors (two roots, four cave (2 He/N2 exhaust), one intake manifold, one before intake manifold) | Zulkaida | Setup all auxiliary pressure sensor to read in to target network and have a VI ready for them. | |||||||
| Slow Controls | Readout in control room on target computer | Zulkaida/Ishara/Kenichi | Have all system working in Hall and readout to target computer: NMR, microwave controls and EIP, all pressure/temp sensors, all flow meters, monitoring systems | |||||||
| Cave piping | Cave Flex hose order and install with pressure rating specifications | Vibohda | flex hose, EVAC seals, EVAC clamps and all cave utilities | |||||||
| Microwave Control System | This is a control system that optimizes polarization automatically | Vibohda | Requires remote control and modulation of the microwave frequency, automatic moving of the microwave frequency with accumulated dose, fast changes from positive to negative polarization. Read in of polarization from NMR and adjust to ideal frequency to optimize highest polarization. | |||||||

QT PLC test summary (on )
-------------------------------------- email from Sam (start) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a quick recap of what we did.
-Connected through Zoom
-Changed PLC IP address
-Ping devices worked, connection through software did not. Relocated the laptop to the system to avoid going through any facilities managed switches.
-Established connection, upgraded firmware and loaded latest software
-Enabled VNC server (Sm@rtServer) on the HMI screen
-Went through the analog input signals, reconfigured some IO cards and fixed some minor bugs in code.
Overall I was very pleased with the progress and was happy to see that most of the analog inputs were giving correct readings
On the link below is the systems IO list. Note that we only checked analog inputs.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eKmwuwjwN85ZBP1T2PJBcUxGWTd9zdNdLz_mwY0kc7o/edit?usp=sharing
System: Is there any pressure in the system? I'm picking up some good looking signals but it seems like I might have the wrong scaling factor.
PTA and PTB did not give readings, are these wired in?
TX1 transferline thermocouple, is this in place?
TIDA and TIDB: Quantum to look into this.
We would need to schedule another meeting when we can sort the above out and continue with the following
4) Verify all remaining (low power) instruments.
Requirement: Someone on site that verifies operation of valves and some other equipment such as flow controllers.
5) Establish connections with the instruments on site.
Requirement: On site hardware connected.
6) Verify the Helium compressors connections (see if each compressor is connected with the correct cable) and operation
Requirement: Power for the helium compressors. Someone on site that can verify each compressor actuates for ~10seconds.
If we can get to this point we can start planning the actual commissioning of the system
Thanks again to everyone involved.
Kind regards,
Sam Crauwels
