SEI and SUS Re-Isolated and DAMPED+ALIGNED after power outage
J. Kissel,  J. Warner, H. Radkins

SEI recovery:
After Hugh finished his 6-month maintenance of the HEPI accumulators (stay tuned for more detailed aLOG), Jim followed turning on HEPI pump stations. Once pump stations were started, front-ends, and the guardian machine were up and running, there was little-to-no trouble bringing up the SEI systems. All platforms are isolated as normal now.

SUS recovery: 
Once front-ends and the guardian machine were up and running, I brought most suspensions up via guardian. We had a little trouble with the dolphin network in the corner station while reseting the CDS IOP "software" watchdogs, but thankfully it was as simple as turning *on* the dolphin switches in the corner (they'd just been missed in the infrastructure turn-on phase). 

It was a little unnerving that the start-up guardian state for the SUS is ALIGNED, which means that as *soon* as all watchdogs are clear, things light up and start sending stuff out to the DAC. If everything works well -- and this time it did -- this is fine, but I'd kinda prefer that the start-up state is SAFE, so that the user can control the speed at which things come up. Some thing to consider.

Also, many thanks to Cheryl and Jenne, who helped us get the IMC locked and happy.

All SUS are damping as normal now (Rana and Evan made sure that the new damping filter settings on the QUADs has been restored correctly), and we're in the process of getting the rest of the IFO alignment to a happy state.

Note, although Jenne is pursuing realigning the IFO, we immediately see that we are suffering from vertically drifting Susepensions which we already know means drifting Pitch/Yaw (see attached).  This is expected due to the warming of the VEAs over the hot un-air-conditioned weekend, so the alignment will change as their temperatures re-equilibrate.  The realignment being performed now is to just be able to check other systems with some arm light, even though we may be chasing pointing.

MX Instrument Air alarms

There has been an instrument air alarm periodically for MX since the start of my shift.  It seems to have come back after the power outage to a lower level than previous (~60 instead of ~80 psi).  I talked to Gerardo about it, and he didn't seem to worried.  I have emailed Bubba to look at it tomorrow.  OPS takeaway: it is OK to ignore this alarms (which is a MINOR alarm) for now, unless it becomes MAJOR.

L4C Interface tests

David.M, Filiberto.C, Jenne.D 

All of the L4C interfaces (D1002739) were tested using the L4C Interface test plan at (T1600185). These were the chassis with serial numbers s1600252, s1600253, s1600254, s1600255, and s1600256. All of the channels were working fine except for the L4C 3 & 4 channels on chassis s1600253 which had the incorrect frequency response. On closer expection we noticed that this board was missing the capacitor located at C8 (see the schematic) for both channels. These capacitors have now been added. The chassis was retested and all channels are now functioning properly. I've attached the test reports for each chassis.

LVEA Temperatures 2016 June 3-6

Attached are the temperature and RH plots from the data logger inside the LVEA 3IFO Desiccant Cabinet during the outage. Being inside a closed cabinet with a continual nitrogen boil-off is not a true measurement of the LVEA temperature, but it should give an idea as to how the temperature changed over the weekend.

Photon Calibrators after the power outage

Summary

On Friday, Pcals were turned off for the June 3-5 power outage (LHO alog 27558).

Details

After finding out that PcalY PDs are not measuring any power I went to the End-Y and checked following:

From this limited information and under the assumption that nothing is broken in the Pcal system, one of possible sources of the issue might be that control signals are not reaching the Pcal Interface module through an EtherCAT connector. The laser on/off and power level (5.0 V) signals should come through this interface (the Pcal Interface Chassis back-side board circuit is given in D1400149).

The issue in currently under investigation.

Filiberto, Darkhan,

Summary

  • PcalY is back up and operating in its nominal configuration.

Details

As it was reported in the original report above, there was an issue with turning on the PcalY laser and operating the shutter. The issue was discovered yesterday around 11am. After that I came back to get breaker circuits to proceed with investigations, but I found out that it is not needed.

At End Y there were issues with Beckoff system that were discovered independent from Pcal work. The Beckoff system feeds control signals to Pcal through EtherCAT cable into Pcal Interface Module. In the afternoon Filiberto went to EndY and replaced couple interface boards of the Beckoff system (see LHO alog 27583). After he let me know about the replacement work, I went back to EndY to turn on PcalY (needed to switch shutter control back to "remote" and double-check power switches on Pcal modules). Now the issue is resolved and PcalY is operating in its nominal configuration.

PSL Recovered from Power Outage

J. Oberling, E. Merilh, J. Bartlett

PSL recovery from the power outage is complete.  We had 1 issue when bringing the laser up: the power meter that reads the power output from the PSL appears to have failed.

After turning everything (power supplies, control boxes, etc.) we began by bringing up the chillers; no issue here.  When bringing up the PSL for the first time we noticed all the power appeared to be in the backwards direction, with nothing in the forward the direction.  We killed the laser using the kill button on the table, then ran into the problem of the interlock not resetting.  After much messing around with the interlock button and the control box, we found that you REALLY have to pull the button out to reset the interlock (when it feels like the button is about to break, pull harder).  That taken care of, we turned the laser on and this time opened the external shutter; there was power being measured on the PDs and power meters external to the HPO box (PMC REFL, HPO external PD) so everything with the laser was functioning properly.  Tried power cycling the questionable meter and saw no change.  In the interest of getting the PSL up and running, and as this power meter is not used during normal operation of the PSL (only used when the HPO external shutter is closed), I decided to not swap the power meter.  I did confirm that we do have a spare, but after a quick survey I could not find water fittings for it (it is a water cooled power meter).  We will swap this out at the next opportunity.

All other PSL systems came online without issue.  System is currently on and running, and has been warming up for ~1 hour.  Will continue to monitor.

dither of pzt resotres alignment to something close to good

It occured to me that the hysteresis of the pzt might be something I could overcome by dithering the pzt around the values that were restored when we brought the system up.

I started the dither at +/-5000, then dithered at +/-1000,  then +/-100, then +/-10, then +/-1, with 20 second sleeps between each change.

I dithered both pitch and yaw.

When the beam from the PSL was restored, the IMC REFL beam was completely on the camera, and the IMC locked (though at low value, WFS are off).

This box appeared to be running (green lights & no errors).

corey.gray@LIGO.ORG - 09:30, Monday 06 June 2016 (27565)

Step 6.4 Work Station Computers

Work Stations powered in Control Room----->  But BEFORE these were powered up, The NFS File Server should have been checked in the MSR before powering anything up.  This needs to be added to the procedure.

We have found several issues due to computers being started before the NFS File Server was addressed.  These items had to be brough up again:

  • EPICS Gateway
  • NDS

----->And the items above allow us to run Dataviewer now and also bring up the Vacuum Overview

Step 6.5  Wiki & alog & CDS Overview MEDM

They are back.  Overview on the wall (thanks, Kissel).

Update:  The wiki was actually NOT back since it was started before the NFS File Server was started.  So the wiki was restarted.

Sec 8:  EX  (Richard & TJ)

They have run through the document & are moving on to other outbuildings.  On the overview for EX, we see Beckhoff & SUSAUX are back.

Sec 10:  MX (Richard & TJ)

Haven't heard from them, but we see that PEMMX is back on the Overview.

corey.gray@LIGO.ORG - 09:57, Monday 06 June 2016 (27567)

Sec 9:  EY (Richard & TJ)

This is backonline.  So now we can start front ends in the Corner Station!  

They are now heading to MY now.....

Sec 11:  MY (Richard & TJ)

...but it looks like MY is already back according to the CDS Overview.

STATUS at 10AM (after an hour of going through procedure):

Most of the CDS Overview is GREEN, -except- the LSC.  Dave said there were issues with bring the LSC front end back up and will need to investigate in the CER.

End Stations: (TJ, Richard)

  • ALS lasers powered on (which wasn't mentioned in procedure).
  • Mentioned issues with high power voltage power supplies are intentionally left off so VAC Team can check their system first.

Sec 7.8:  Guardian (updated from Kissel)

Working on bringing this back.  Some of these nodes need data from LDAS (namely, ISC); so some of these may take a while.  

BUT, basic nodes such as SUS & SEI may be ready fairly sooner.

corey.gray@LIGO.ORG - 11:36, Monday 06 June 2016 (27573)

There appear to be some order issues here.  (Jeff, Nutsinee, and others are working on fixing the order in the document.)

1)  We held off on addressing DC high power because of wanting to wait for Vacuum System Team at the LVEA (for vacuum gauge) and at the End Stations (for vacuum gauge & the ESD).

2)  We held off on some Corner Station items, because of them being on the Dolphin Network.  So to address End Stations FIRST, Assigned Richard & TJ to head out to start the End Station sections of the document & get their Dolphin Network items online.  Once they were done, Dave started on cornter station Front Ends on the Dolphin network.

Extraneous items:

  • Conlog was brought up (Patrick)

Installation of ITM ESD
Filiberto, Ed, Rich

Installation is complete for the ITM ESD Driver for ITMX and ITMY.  A short was found on the bias connection to ITMX (see attached sketch to clear up the pin numbering of the legacy connector).  The shield was cut and insulated on the 2ft section of cable up near the vacuum feedthrough for this connection.  All nominally 24V connections were HIPOT tested to 500V, and the high voltage bias connections were tested to 700V.

An ADC (ADC07) was added to SUS-C5-14 to permit the ITM ESD readback channels to be implemented per the latest wiring diagram (D1500464).

At time of writing, no aspects of the installed system have been verified in situ.  This is the next item on the checkout.

Some useful system constants (total for both drivers):
+/- 18VDC Nominal Quiescent Current -> +460mA, -420mA
+/- 24VDC Nominal Quiescent Current -> +40mA, -40mA
+/- 430VDC Nominal Quiescent Current -> +/- 5.6mA

Serial Numbers:
ITMY ESD Driver (D1600092) (installed in SUS-R6) -> S1600266
ITMX ESD Driver (D1600092) (installed in SUS-R5) -> S1600267
ITM PI AI Chassis (D1600077) (installed in SUS-C6 U23) -> S1600245

problem with ITMX M0 BIO

Evan, Rana, Sheila

This afternoon there was a problem with the ITMX M0 BIO.  The TEST/COIL enable indicator was red, and setting H1:SUS-ITMX_BIO_M0_CTENABLE to 0 and back to 1 could not make it green.  Evan tried power cycling the coil driver, which did not work.  We were able to reset this and damp the suspension again by setting the BIO state to 1, it seems that anything other than state 2 works. 

This might be a hardware problem that needs to be fixed, but for now we can use the suspension like this.

After the weekend power outage, we see that the ITMX M0 BIO settings are back to their nominal combo of:

STATE REQUEST  2.000

COIL TEST ENABLE   1.000

- And the BIT statuses all show green.

Toggling them to alternate 1.000 and 2.000 values respectively and back to niminal turns them from red back to green.  Nothing seems to be stuck now and the ill combo that Sheila reported the other day above doesn't seem to be a problem now.
