ITMy monolithic lower structure installed in BSC1

M. Phelps, G. Traylor, B. Weaver, myself

Today we successfully installed the ITMy lower structure into BSC1.  Recabling of the reaction chain has begun.  As a health check, we hung the test mass as a single pendulum to verify the integrity of the monolithic.  All is well.  We relocked the suspension since it is second in line for alignment work a couple of weeks out.  Tomorrow, Apollo will remove the BSC install arm.

The old lower stucture was put back in the can and flown to the test stand cleanroom vicinity for upcoming 3IFO rework.

WHAM6 ISI Balancing done (Monday?)

With the addition of the planned Table Top payload per D1201388-v3, I pulled 119kg from the ISI sidewalls.  Based on previous ocurrances like this, I don't believe th eCOG sci/eng will be bothered by this CG vertical shift.  Will run TFs asap once ICS is done with their cable work.

End X HEPI Pump Station restarted

The evidence I've been able to gather suggests the VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) saw an overvoltage while running at constant speed. OU3 is in fact an error code. This is something that has happened before, maybe a couple times a year. Don't really know what it means, will talk to EE. Since the troubleshooters (Rich & Jeff) shut down the servo despite it running before they pressed the reset button on the VFD, they were dead in the water until the servo was restarted (instructions in the OPS WIKI.)

In this situation with the Servo running and outputting max: 2048 coutns = 10 volts but producing no pressure, one could assume the pumps are not running due to a low fluid level trip or a fault at the VFD.  A trip to the Pump Station is warranted.

If the Red indicator on the DD Box is not illuminated, a fluid level trip or a power fault should be suspect.  In this case, reduce the output to the VFD by putting the servo in manual and stepping the output to zero or change the set point to zero.  Hit the green button on the DD Box, if it illuminates, ramp up the output of the servo manually or in auto mode by first reducing the set point to 5 psi and increasing it to 80 psi, do so slowly to minimize overshoot and risk of fluid level triping and over pressure valve opening.

If the Red Indicator on the DD Box is iluminated, it is likely the VFD is registering a fault.  Open the VFD box ( you must be EE qualified to do this!) and look at the VFD display, note the display.  Pressing reset from a VFD fault situation will restart everything so before doing so, as above, reduce the servo output to zero.  Once the servo output is zero, press reset and then as above, ramp up the output to 80psi.  Call me, I might be able to walk you through it remotely.

Notes from the conversation I had with Hugh and Rich this morning:

To restart controller (some of what's in the OPS Wiki, as Hugh suggests)

ssh controls@h1hpipumpctrl[ex,ey,0] (0 for corner station)
      (non-standard controls password -- check your secrets page)
cd target-ex/
sudo ./run

The rest is details of "After the controller is running and there are valid pressure signals, ramp the motor drive up to get the pressure near 80 psi and engage the servo. There will be some lag so slow down the ramping as you near 80 to be sure and not over shoot too far." Hugh mentioned that there're several ways to ramp up the servo, but here's how we did it this morning:
- Goto controller MEDM screen (resize if you see white -- it may not be dead)
- Flip "Servo Control" to Auto (button in middle, far right)
- In bottom left corner, select "Common Tweak Size" of 5
- Slowly (one click every 5-10 [s]) click "+" above "Set Point Tweak" to increase differential pressure set point to 80 [PSI] (a trace will begin to appear on the long black window once you get it within range)
- Once you get above ~50 ish [PSI] you can click a little faster, we're just looking to prevent large turn-on transients in the servo which'll move the platform. Hugh was explaining things to me in between clicks, so that's about the amount of time you need.


Rich also mentions that MIT has ways of automating this procedure such that "all you have to do is hit reset, then run" on the VFD control panel "and it just goes." I like this idea. This thing should also have a guardian wrapped around it, managed by the HEPI guardian, which in turn reports to the SEI chamber guardian.

Hugh also mentions there's an open Integration Issue (see II 242) in order to get LHO's pressure sensed at the chamber like LLO's. The last update says "within weeks" of 2013-Dec-19, but this has been delayed because of cable-pulling person-power. 

Also, there is some flaw internal to the HEPI Pump Servo board that means the "Pressure OK" and "Level Alarm" lights report mis-information. They should not be trusted.  Because this system is to be eventually converted to Beckhoff monitoring, attempts to make them LEDs functional have been abandoned. But so have attempts to convert to Beckhoff, due to similar person-power limitations.

We should get some person-power.

LSC front end recovery glitched corner station dolphin nodes

Jim, Dave.

The reason h1lsc0 did not shutdown last night is that its IO Chassis was not powered up, presumably due to the glitch. Jim powered it back on via the front panel switch. Unfortunately h1lsc0 was is a strange state, and it did not cleanly remove itself from the dolphin fabric even when all procedures were followed. Most of the Dolphin'ed front ends were glitched when h1lsc0 was rebooted, and these models were restarted. This completes the recovery from the glitch.

Dither Paths Added to QUAD Overview Screen
J. Kissel

Dither paths, which had been added to the front end models a long time ago (see LHO aLOG 11627), have now been added to the QUAD overview screens. Not really much more to say that; It took a long time because squeezing the new banks in took a lot of rearranging and making things smaller. It was really exciting. I can't wait to do every other suspension. Stay on the edge of your seat.

For Stuart -- because we're still prototyping the more complete ESD linearization routine, I've reverted the screen to what's in the repository, and added dither paths to *that*, committed, and then re-added the prototype linearization stuff.
I updated:
/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/common/medm/quad/

and there's some new screens (in the same folder):

Restart PEM at midstations
PEM and IOP models at Mid X and Mid Y were restarted to get the GPS time set correctly for the models. Timing was off by 1 second from the restart after yesterday's power glitch.  Usually this involves killing the PEM and IOP models, then starting the IOP model and pressing the BURT button as soon as the IOC server starts. The idea is to keep delay of starting the IOP to the shortest time possible, given that the GPS time is derived from the computer clock instead of an IRIG-B.

found bug in h1iopsusey, fixed and compiled against tag2.8.3

Rich, Jeff, Arnaud, Dave

During the power glitch recovery Rich found that the DACs were not driving on h1hpietmy. I discovered my new SWWD on h1susey had tripped from the TMSY suspension. I had noticed earlier that two of the TMSY OSEM signals looked bogus, and Jeff found that the incorrect ADC channels were being read for two channels. To correct the problem quickly to get Rich back on track, I fixed the simulink model and compiled against RCG2.8.3 (the version which was running was compiled against branch2.8). This means the trip level is back to 15,000 counts and the resets are cached. I'll rebuild against branch2.8 tomorrow as part of the HAM4,5,6 install. Also the MEDM still has the incorrect raw signals for these two channels.

power glitch at 18:08 PDT

We experienced a power glitch at Jun 12 2014 01:08:29 UTC (18:08PDT). The lights in the control room flickered for several seconds, the MSR UPS reported a switch to battery and back. Vacuum controls was not affected. Here is what I have found:

All models on h1lsc0 and h1asc0 stopped running

Both mid station PEM systems have DAQ timing errors

Right hand monitors for workstations opsws0,1,2 went blank

I'm going to restart the affected models. The workstations were power cycled.

h1asc0 booted and came back with no problems.

I was unable to reboot h1lsc0 cleanly, I'll leave this until tomorrow, Jeff said it is not needed this evening.

both mid stations pem systems actually rebooted rather than freeze like asc/lsc. I tried restarting h1ioppemmy and could not clear the timing error. I'll leave both mid station pem systems for tomorrow.

H1 HPI ETMX Pump Failure
R. Mittleman, J. Kissel

Rich found H1 ETMX HEPI unable to drive, and after a little bit of investigation, he found the "Pressure OK" indicator on the pump controller screen indicating badness. We drive to the end station and did the following:
- Confirmed that we heard the pumps not running.
- Found the "Heartbeat" LED blinking green, the "Level Alarm" LED solid red, and no light from the "Pressure OK" LED.
- Confirmed that the power supply was feeding the pump servo box +/-15 [V] (as indicated on the box itself)
- Confirmed with a DVM that power cable from the power supply at the pump servo box was outputing +/-15 [V]
- Disconnected and reconnected the power cable to the pump servo. No change, but all LEDs turned off.
- When into the pump controller box, which sounded as though it was whirring with power, and the digital readout said "OU3," which we presumed to mean "0.03"
- Rich hit the "RESET" button on the control panel, then hit "FWD," and the digital readout went to 0, but no action from the pump.
- Of the 4 The "OUT" spigots on the pump servo box, #1 was is sent to the pump controller, and all four spigots were sending out ~0.05 [V] which is ~0.
- With power on, the pump servo box's fan did spin up.
- Just to check, with everything re-powered on, we physically lowered the fluid level threshold a smidge, but this also failed to resurrect the pump.

We conclude that the pump servo box has let out its smoke in some unknown fashion. The serial number of the box is S1301037.

Once we got back to the control room, we found the pump controller screen white as well...

ETM ESD AI Chassis Boards at Rev 4
J. Kissel, F. Clara

Upon hearing news that LLO suspects their recent discovery of excess noise in their ESD signal chain (see LLO aLOG 13017 and 13034) is due to an older revision (V4) of AI chassis not being able to drive long signal chains (where the unique), Fil and I checked what documentation exists for ours. The serial numbers and version for our ESD AI chassis are as follows:

Optic   Chassis S/N       Board(s) S/N      Version 
ETMY    S1103819          S1101716            V4
                          S1101720            V4
ETMY    S1103818          S1101884            V4
                          S1101890            V4


So we'll need to swap these out for V6 at the earlier.

HAM6 Work: Eliminating Ground Loops & Re-Running Cables

Corey, Keita

We were able to get rid of a ground loop on the "solo" QPD by simply moving/touching it's Seismically Responsible Cable.

Moved to Tip Tilts and discovered that two of the three Tip Tilts had grounding loops to the table.  After much investigation, Keita appeared to discover the issue.  It's related to the BOSEMS and how the connector is close to the aluminum mounting plate which holds them.  He was able to do some "surgery" to move the connectors in a way such that they didn't short to this plate.  One Tip Tilt (OM3) was repaired, re-installed, and tested good.  OM2 still needs to be fixed.

There were three runs of cables (the two WFS cables which run to Flange D3 & the OM2 cable) which were run "under" Stage1.  According to Hugh, this is a no-no, so these cables re-run and routed around the perimeter of Stage0.

Believe Keita still had more ground loop issues on his list, and he also wanted to look at the capacitance of the OMC PZT.

In Corey's picture, one unit is fixed, the other is not. You cannot tell which is which if you don't know where to look.

There are two places where the metal connector shell potentially can touch the base plate of the coil, i.e. side and bottom (see the first attachment). There's always a continuity from the coil base plate to the TT BOSEM plate to the TT body to the ISI table, so this is not cool.

The side gap can be made as large as maybe 0.3-0.4mm, or as small as zero, by how you assemble it.

My "fix" was to maximize the side gap. The bottom gap looks incredibly small when this is done, probably 0.1mm or less, but this worked consistently for four coil/connector assemblies that I have re-done.

There is zero reason that these gaps should be this small, by the way. Probably it's too late, but if I redesign it I'll make it like the second attachment.

We'll continue tomorrow.
