Corner Chilled water pump trip

Strange - another chilled water pump trip - this time in the corner. CWP3 VFD unit tripped. I reset the 480volt circuit (pushed the reset button, did NOT cycle the breaker).

The pump started up with no issues. Currently I have left the system with two CWPs and their associated chillers running. Both CWP1 and CWP3 are running. I happened to be in the control room when Jeff reported an alarm The LVEA is recovering from a ~0.5 F temperature excursion.

RCG tag 2.8.5 installed.

Rolf, Jim and Dave. We have created RCG tag 2.8.5 from branch 2.8. This version has the bug fix to disable the 18bit DAC Anti-aliasing chassis when the new timed DACKILL part is activated. 

2.8.5 also has two dataviewer changes, these have already been installed at LHO by Jim prior to this release.

I have set the rcgcore and lho/h1 release pointers to use 2.8.5. All model builds from now on will use this release.

WBSC10 ETMY at EndY HEPI ring up of ISI

JimW JeffK HughR

We looked at HEPI TFs from March and this morning and see almost no differences.  Comparing TFs beween EndY & EndX also sees almost no differences either.

However, see the attached comparing the Isolation filters at the endy (Blue) and endx (Red).  Mag & phase both are quite different at our 8hz problem area.

new LSC model installed, DAQ restarted

Kiwamu and Dave. Installed new LSC model, then restarted the DAQ. We had an NFS caching issue, even giving a period of at least 15 seconds between the  make-install and the restart, the model had cached the old INI file and we did not get the expected DAQ status of 0x2000. After verifying that the INI had indeed changed, we restarted the model once more and the new INI file was picked up by the model.

I have edited both /h1/models/h1lsc.mdl and /common/models/lsc.mdl. The motivation of this update is for us to keep up with Livingston's model.

Background:

Currently, the Livingston LSC model is completely disconnected from the common libraries and therefore it can be regarded as a prototype at this point. On the other hand, our Hanford model is more like a production model and therefore we use and maintain the common LSC libraries on the basis of the LLO prototype.

The modifications:

  • I added several signal processing blocks for the transmission signals (i.e. TRX(Y) and TR_X(Y)_QPD_B_SUM).
  • I did not add the TrDARM process path as this turned out to be not so useful in Livingston. In fact they are not using this.
  • I expanded input matrix (i.e. PD_DOF_MTRX) from 34 inputs to 37 inputs. And I newly appended TrCARM, TrREFL9 and REFL_A_LF_NORM to the input matrix.
  • I deleted the most of the auto-locker blocks which had been introduced historically because Livingston did not have a guardian when locking DRMI. Though, I left the OMC_OFFSET block because the purpose of it was not clear to me. I will confirm the (un)necessity.
  • Added the MICH and SRCL feedforward paths. This required expansion of the output matrix such that it takes another two channels. The MEDM screen needs to be fixed.
  • Added two new inputs for the LSC block. They are reserved for the TRX(Y)_QPD_B_SUM signals.
  • I put two new RFM receivers in h1lsc.mdl in order to grab the TRX(Y)_QPD_B_SUM data. Note that I did not have to add an RFM sender because they were already in the models (i.e. h1iscex and h1iscey).

Discrepancies between the sites (as far as I know):

  • H1 uses a ramping matrix for the input matrix, but L1 does not. Not clear which is better.
  • L1 uses a ramping matrix for the output matrix, but H1 does not. Not celar which is better.
  • L1 has the auto-locker blocks, but H1 does not. L1 should get rid of these blocks if possible.
  • L1 has the TrDARM signal path, but H1 does not. L1 should get rid of this path. This requires a change in the input matrix as well.
  • H1 has a trigger and filters for REFL_BIAS, but L1 does not. Probably H1 should get rid of these blocks, or even we don't need REFL_BIAS at all.
    • I want to check this path out during the future locking trials at Hanford. If this is really useless signal, we will get rid of them.
kiwamu.izumi@LIGO.ORG - 14:23, Monday 04 August 2014 (13194)

Also, I checked the connection of the new RFM recievers by sending some values from the end station over to the LSC model. And I confirmd that they are working fine. Both H1 and Common models are now checked in SVN.

BSC2 (Beamsplitter) tfs are clear

After BSC1 closeout on Friday, undamped transfer functions were ran over the week end on the beamsplitter for both top and middle stage. During the measurement the ISI was damped. Measurements are clean, as seen on the results attached. For some reason a factor of two-ish appeared in the M2 level tf (model=2ish*meas) in all dofs.

Attached results are presented as below :
 
1. H1 M1-M1 undamped tfs compared with the model
2. H1 M2-M2 undamped tfs compared with the model
3. H1 M1-M1 undamped tfs compared with previous H1 BS measurement (last month, after wire baffle install), and L1 in vacuum
4. H1 M2-M2 undamped tfs compared with previous H1 BS measurement (last september, under vacuum), and L1 in vacuum
 

All scripts and data have been commited to the svn

ETMY ISI at EndY Tripped again

I left the ISI just damped with the HEPI loops closed.  SEI tripped at 2027pdt.  The ISI went on L4C levels 2 seconds before the HEPI tripped for Actuators...  Maybe this makes sense compared to the previous trips where the ISI trips earlier wrt the HEPI when at least one stage of the ISI is isolated--when the ISI is isolating, it rings up its actuators faster as it drives in response.  Again, clear 8ish hz ring up on all the HEPI/ISI signals.

Looking at the TF/Coh between HEPI out & ISI L4C as expected there is coherence; the magnitude of the TF is reduced with the X & Y HEPI ISO Boosts are disabled.  Wait that makes sense as the ISI isolation is quieting the L4C...

Tested enabling the boosts.  Independently enabling either X or Y boosts rings up and trips the ISI within a minute or so.  While there is no foton magnitude difference between ISOL filter with and without boost, there is a 20 degree phase difference.

Given that the trip happens with just ISI damping and the boost seems to hasten things when the ISI is Isolated, JeffK recommends check for plant changes at ETMY HEPI.

H1 SUS ITMY Dorrs On TFs -- TOP looks good, lower stages discrepant with model by factor 2
J. Kissel, A. Pele

Ran transfer functions over the weekend, to assess if the SUS is free after first contact removal and closing doors. While the top stages look great, this is the first time I've been exposed to a factor of two missing between model and measurement for the lower stages. While we don't expect the model to account for the dynamics of the reaction chain (which is why we see a whole bunch of "extra" features in the main-chain dynamics), we don't expect an overall gain mismatch. Arnaud informs me that this is true of every QUAD except one stage of one (including L1 SUS ITMY). 

No reason to pull doors off, but we should figure out where this discrepancy lies. And also , we should develop a model of the lower stage dynamics which include both chains.

The reaction chain will displace about the same amount as the main chain for the lower stage measurements. Could this explain the factor of two gain relative to the model, since the OSEMs measure the difference between chains?
arnaud.pele@LIGO.ORG - 12:00, Monday 04 August 2014 (13187)

HA !

jeffrey.kissel@LIGO.ORG - 12:07, Monday 04 August 2014 (13188)
Plausible. Let's model it to find out!
brett.shapiro@LIGO.ORG - 15:30, Monday 04 August 2014 (13199)
I added a feature to 

 .../SusSVN/sus/trunk/QUAD/Common/MatlabTools/QuadModel_Production/generate_QUAD_Model_Production.m

to compile a quad model with both main and reaction dynamics to predict what the L1 (UIM) and L2 (PUM) OSEMs will measure. See the results in the attached pdf. The overall gain is still not 100%, but is definitely closer. Pitch has some obvious mismatch due to known extra stiffness on the reaction chain (from OSEM cables I think).


The update to generate_QUAD_Model_Production.m has instructions commented into the header for using the new combined main/reaction model. I copy those instructions here.

"
You can compile multiple chains simultaneously, to predict what the UIM 
(L1) and PUM (L2) OSEMs will measure. To use this feature, sandwich the 
string '_with_' between the two build types you want to use, main chain 
1st, reaction chain 2nd. For example, for a monolithic ITM use

   buildType = 'fiber_with_thincp'
 
The combined model will only combine the outputs for the UIM (L1) and
PUM (L2) L, P, and Y DOFs, to reflect the OSEM measurements. The inputs
however will be shared for all the seismic inputs as well as the UIM and
PUM L, P, and Y DOFs. The indices for inputs and outputs are unchanged.
 
  Caution: there is no error or warning for non-physical combinations. For
  example, 'fiber_with_fiber' will compile OK, but the results will be
  inconsistent with reality.

H1ISIETMX Model Restart Kills Streamers on h1sush2b, h1oaf, and h1lsc
J. Kissel, J. Batch,

Jim informed me this morning that other front-end models, seemingly unconnected to my h1isietmx model restart, had their framebuilder data corrupted immediately following my restart. Hence all frame data from these computers has been hosed since 2014-07-31 22:45 UTC. See Jim's complementary log here.

The corruption is a result of an mxstream glitch sent out by h1isietmx upon restart, that was sent across the ethernet connection to other computers on the same ethernet network (i.e. h1sush2b, h1oaf, h1pemmy, h1pemmx, h1susey and h1lsc). This is a known problem at least by Jim (who will subsequently write a bugzilla report).

To identify the problem:
- Open CDS_OVERVIEW screen
- Look for models / computers that have *both* the DAQ (Data AQuisition system) and the DDC (Daq Data Concentrator) showing red status in their CDS STATE WORD, (e.g H1:FEC-103_STATE_WORD).

To solve the problem:
- Log into corrupted front-end
- run /etc/start_streamers.sh
This reboots the mxstream process, occasionally glitches the framewriting PSL front end (?!), presumably fixes the problem, and restores the STATE WORD to green.

The old /etc/start_streamers.sh command may not be the best way.  Instead use "sudo/etc/init.d/mx_stream stop", "sudo/etc/init.d/mx_stream start" so it starts the mx_stream on the correct 'mx' slot for the data concentrators's Myricom card
 - Of course, LHO may have been cleverer than I and re-wrote /etc/start_streamers.sh to do this

Restart streamers on several front end computers
Restart mx_stream on the following front ends:

H1sush2b - models h1iopsush2b, h1susim
h1susey - models h1iopsusey, h1susetmy, h1sustmsy
h1oaf0 - models h1iopoaf0, h1pemcs, h1oaf, h1tcscs, h1odcmaster
h1lsc0 - models h1ioplsc0, h1lsc, h1lscaux, h1omc
h1pemmy - models h1ioppemy, h1pemmy
h1pemmx - models h1ioppemmx, h1pemmx

The streams were corrupted by the model restart of h1isietmx on Friday Aug. 1 at 1545 PDT, so data from these models is likely not valid over the weekend.

Due to what Jim states in the above alog, the trend data of the ETMy SUS sensors is lost.  Therefore, we are unable to look back at how the temperature excursion that happened at Ey over the weekend affected the position of the ETMy QUAD blades.
