Dry Run Report - Week 14: Injection and TL BI Performance Review and Updates
This report outlines the findings from the dry run conducted in Week 14, focusing on the injection and TL BI systems. Key objectives included running fixed displays, logging applications, and the MKIs from the control room. Despite the equipment not being ready, significant progress was noted, including operational application updates and logging parameters. Outstanding issues from previous weeks regarding RBAC, logging, and system integration were addressed. Follow-up actions for next steps in operational readiness and testing have been outlined.

Presentation Transcript
Dry Run- Week 14 • Goal: run injection and TL BI (fixed displays, logging, applications) plus injection BI, run MKI from the control room → equipment was not ready • Follow-up from dry run of week 13 • Injection permits at the MKIs • 1000 ms injection forewarning generated by test button • Dynamic destination inhibit not tested yet • Pre-pulses arriving at injection kickers: OASIS was triggered. • MKI operational application updated; Logging of waveforms, scope settings and other parameters fully operational • MKI sequences updated • Summary under: • https://espace.cern.ch/mddb/Activity%20Tracking%20Tool/Activity%20Tracking%20Welcome.aspx?View=%7b593B6E53%2dF6F9%2d4485%2d8646%2dE7E683D0F681%7d&FolderCTID=0x012001&SelectedID=19
Dry Run – week 14 - Issues • RBAC stuff: Token expiration on BLM capture data concentrator (should be fixed by now): should be solved now • Proxies for BTVs: not working: should be solved now • TI 8 optics: BTVST not in optics and TI8.BTVI.87750 is defined as TI8.BTVI.87751 • Needed for screen matching • Logging issues: name server issues for some TL BI: BCTs, BLMI, BTVI: is solved now
Dry Run - Week 13 – Issues • RBAC policy: switch to strict mode when • Need to come back to Ring BCTs: this week’s dry run (BCTFR) • Connection to SMP • Logging • not everything logged that is defined: Profiles for wire scanners, certain parameters of BCTs (see summary), some BLMs (disconnected? ( see summary)), BBQ ; partly follow-up this dry-run • partly nothing defined: abort gap monitor, orbit • FILL DATA: could we not have some more structure there? • Sub-directories automatically generated: BLM, BPM, YASP, .... • Concentrators, sequencer....and OPERA account • Fixed displays: need to rationalise the number of windows we have. Started
MCS Tests • Done: LHC BLMs, CISx, MKD/MKB settings, MKI ExpertSettings, Transfer line BLMI • Summary under: • http://vkain.web.cern.ch/vkain/MCSTests.htm • Still to be done: • LHC BLM online check < 25 minutes: done 5 minutes; still issue with drive, test this dry run • LBDS IPOC (issue with global devices) • LBDS BETS (hardware/software not ready): still need to do full check; this dry run • Interlocked BPMs in point 6 (still no decision on role): still need to do full check; this dry run • Interlock settings for power converters in transfer lines: still need to do full check; next days • Collimators: started tests • Virtual critical settings • Will carry on testing
Operational Settings - FGCs • SOCs: LHC_dev_FGCs and MATCHING-SEC-IP5 • Have settings for • Ramp down • Pre-cycle • Ramp • Squeeze (version 4) – only point 5: only LHC.USER.SQUEEZE • None of the beamprocesses error-free yet (and not all circuits are in these SOCs). Working on it. • Summary for the time being: • https://espace.cern.ch/mddb/Activity%20Tracking%20Tool/Activity%20Tracking%20Welcome.aspx?View=%7b593B6E53%2dF6F9%2d4485%2d8646%2dE7E683D0F681%7d&FolderCTID=0x012001&SelectedID=28
Dry Run – week 17 • Follow-up issues from other dry runs • Injection: • Pulse MKI 8 from CCC: application, softstart + sequences, operational limits • Transfer line power converters: FEI + logging • LBDS: • Dump line BI • MCS checks of BETS, IPOC and interlocked BPMs • Arm BETS and IPOC as far as possible: new sequences: BetsSim available • LBDS monitoring (RBAC for acknowledge) • XPOC: play-back mode; logging; triggering: check for BI • No BIS frequency control tests yet • Timing: • New telegram for Beam Type
Next Dry Runs • Week 21: Extraction tests • New mastership; LHC synchronisation; synchronous pre-pulse, first version of injection quality check • MKQ/A, AC-Dipole • LBDS • BI almost all done: PM still missing; BCT still need some attention • Injection: pulse both kickers, MKI IPOC, full injection quality check integrated with injection sequencer,... Otherwise all done • RF – no date yet, no program yet • Interfaces with experiments • Feedbacks + sequencing + other controls interfaces (optics changes, trimming, feed forward,...) • Will come up with a program for these as soon as possible; also want to produce grid to judge overall readiness.
