H1 ITMx Monolithic installed - another ESD cable issue

This morning, we used the Genie "duct jack", the install arm, elevator, and 5-axis table to install the newly assembled ITMx Monolithic lower suspension into the chamber and mate it to it's upper structure.  All went as expected.  We then proceeded to start reconnecting wire segments and cabling.  When we mated up the lowest stage of the ESD cable, we had a small hiccup.  One of the 5 pin receptacles had fallen into the connector back shell on the end that is soldered directly to the CP.  With some care, we were able to gently fish it back out and push it into place with the wire which had been tugging on the other end of the pin receptacle.  We expanded the receptacle such that it seemed to hold itself in place better.  As well, all 5 receptacle "houses" were twisted such that they seemed to seat better in the connector.  We then connected this female connector to it's upper male cable counterpart and it "seemed" like it the connection seated properly.  We have no way of visually knowing though.  WE NEED TO CHECK THIS AT THE FEEDTHRU, OR SOMETHING.

Just trying to figure out what Betsy's talking about (before Betsy subsequently posted a picture herself), I showed Gary and Margot my picture from much earlier in the install (right after it came out of the storage container, basically, from the collection in LHO aLOG 12286). Gary said immediately "Look! You can see it's not there even that early in the day!" I attach the picture, with the missing pin circled.

This is bad.  The center pin of each coaxial connector is supposed to be held fixed by a PEEK cylinder specifically designed for this purpose.  If the center pin fell through once, it is likely to do it again.  I would do two things before buttoning things up:

1.  Take the connector apart and see what's really going on.  There may (albeit unlikely) be a way to immobilize the center conductor by hook or by crook.
2.  After whatever mitigation you are able to do, I would suggest cleaning a bit of wire and literally shorting across adjacent terminals on top of the CP (if that's even physically possible) while someone outside the vacuum chamber verifies connectivity from the airside.

It may be (I just can't remember) that there's some hope that the center pin can be snapped into place with tweezers after disassembling the connector.  That would be really good if it were true.

betsy.weaver@LIGO.ORG - 09:57, Wednesday 11 June 2014 (12309)

Further detail of my first alog above:


When we discovered the problem in-chamber, we (Gary, Travis and I) already disassembled the connector very carefully, pulled the receptacle through, and attempted to "immobilize" it as Rich suggests in his alogged point 1.  We also attempted to "snap the pin into place" as he also suggested in the alog.  We plugged the 2 connectors together, so unplugging them now will likely break it again.  We need to move on to test 2. as per his alog (and as per Rich McCarthy in many verbal convos on testing all of them where we can).  We'll plan to do this today.

HAM6 Notes: Documentation Redlines, Photos, Cabling Spreadsheet

Corey, Dan, Jeff B, Keita, Sheila

DOCUMENTATION REDLINES

During the HAM6 work from last week, we all noted variances, missing info, errors in documentation as we went.  Just wanted to post my specific list of items I came across.

D1300122:  HAM6 Cable Harness Routing Configutation

  1. Both WFS_AS_A (25-pin cables) are at Flange D3 2C1 & 2 (instead of D5 3C1 & 2)...they follow the Flange Document (D1002877).  (D5 3C1 & 2 is instead being used as a Purge Air Port.
  2. Some Tip Tilts could be labeled better.  Tip Tilt #2 (also named "M2"), is actually connected to what we call Tip Tilt#3 according to the Optics Layout & Flange Layout drawings.  Similarly, Tip Tilt #3 is actually what we call Tip Tilt #2.  This is basically just a naming discrepancy.
  3. For Cable Bracket #1 (CB1), which is located on the OMC Structure, the cable runs occupy opposite Floors on CB1.  We tried to move these cables to the correct floors, but the cables were pretty tight on the OMC, so we opted to keep them as is.  So D1300369/D1000225 is really on CB1's 2nd Floor & D1300376 is actually on CB1's 1st Floor.
  4. The OMC cables were handled/connected at CIT.  I could not determine their serial numbers (perhaps these cables were stamped with s/ns?).

D1000342:  ISC HAM6 Assembly

  1. M7 has a picomotor!  (drawing shows this, but spreadsheet under drawing does not show this)
  2. A variance is that we had to make adjustments to our WFS Sled opitcs & WFS for them to fit correctly on table.

PHOTOS

All photos of installation are in ResourceSpace, here.

Highlights of the work are attached to this alog.  Take special note of the scratches which were observed on a QPD (photos #7 & 8).

CABLING SPREADSHEET

To the best of my ability I made a spreadsheet noting cable serial numbers and where they were used in HAM6.  As noted earlier, the OMC cables were handled at CIT, and I was not able to note their s/n's.  Also, the OMC PZT in-air cable is not connected to the chamber, so it is not noted.  I do make note of the OMC CB floor discrepency noted above, as well as the switch of cables from D5 to D3.  Here is the HAM6 Cable Table:

Removing component at ITMX spool

Jason, Apollo, Thomas

We removed the optical lever as well as the camera components for the spool extraction. All the viewports have a lexan protector with a yellow viewport cover with the exception of the two ELIGO TCS viewports which have odd shapes and does not take a yellow cover or a lexan viewport.  These are covered with lens cloth and foil, both secured with cleanroom tape; these particular viewports are going to be taken out and replaced with blanks for ALIGO.

Switch Firmware Upgrade Notes
Switch Firmware Upgrade Notes
 
These are the full details of today's switch upgrades.
 
The core switch (sw-msr-core) ROMMON was upgraded from 15.0(1r)SG7 to 15.0(1r)SG10.  This addresses an issue where the switch may drop into ROMMON if the boot process is interrupted by a powercycle if the config-register ends in 0x2.  (We use 0x2102, so it's worthwhile to upgrade).  The IOS was upgraded from XE 3.4.0SG to XE 3.4.3SG.  This includes some fixes for memory leaks, among many other things.
 
The various Cisco C2960-C switches were upgraded from IOS 15.0(2)SE2 to 15.0(2)SE6.  This includes removing support for creation of type 4 password hashes, which were demonstrated to be weaker than the type 5 password hashes they were meant to replace (Crypto is Hard(tm)).  These swtiches are: sw-gc-cdsadmin, sw-mech-aux, sw-psl-aux, sw-mx-aux, sw-my-aux.
 
All Cisco 3560-X switches were likewise upgraded from IOS 15.0(2)SE2 to 15.0(2)SE6, with same notes as above.  In addition there was an ASIC microcode update.  These switches are: sw-ex-aux, sw-ey-aux, sw-lvea-aux, sw-msr-gc, sw-msr-ops, sw-msr-server1, sw-msr-server2, sw-msr-video2.  sw-msr-gc and sw-msr-video2 show an amber SYST LED after reboot indicating some kind of POST failure.  I rebooted sw-msr-video2 and according to the console it passes all the POST tests though the LED remained amber.  These switches appear to be operating, so I will have to look into this more later.
 
The Netgear GSM72XXv2 FE network switches were upgraded from 8.0.1.27 to 8.1.0.36.  This addresses an issue with ssh management access hanging, requiring a reboot to fix, and high idle CPU usage.  These switches are: sw-ex-h1daq, sw-ex-h1fe, sw-ey-h1daq, sw-ey-h1fe, sw-msr-h1fe.  The odd one out, sw-msr-h1daq, is a different model switch and has not exhibited any issues worth fixing as yet.
 
The Fujitsu XG2600 switch that is used to broadcast data between the data concentrator and the rest of the DAQ (sw-msr-h1daqbc) was upgraded from V02.00 to V02.02.  The older version of firmware is no longer available for download, but there are no release notes for the new version to know for sure what changed.

The source of the mystery SYST amber LED on sw-msr-gc and sw-msr-video2 are bad power supply fans; one each per switch, both in PS1.  The fans appear to operate, and come back OK for a while if the supply is reinserted, so they are probably just running out of spec in some fashion.  I'll either swap out the supplies, or see if just the fans can be replaced, as time allows.

ECR E1400078 M1V&R to M2P&Y Damping Path installed on H1SUSBS
J. Kissel

As per ECR E1400078, I've installed the infrastructure for damping the highest vertical and roll modes of H1 SUS BS (a BSFM triple suspension), sensed at the top (M1) stage, and actuated upon using the middle (M2) stage pitch and yaw drive. Many thanks to Stuart for prototyping; install was as simple as an update to the userapps repository, and then a recompile, reinstall, restart, and restore. A new safe.snap has been captured and committed with the input to the new filter banks turned off. The DAQ was restarted later in the afternoon to account for new channels (and other bugs from the network outage).

This closes out ECR E1400078, and completes integration issue 723.

Once we get back under vacuum, we'll begin to commission the loops in a similar fashion as LLO -- hoping that we have a similar amount of SNR and control authority.

CDS Switch Maintenance Today

I'll be starting work on the CDS core switch soon, as specified in WP4660.  This will impact most network traffic within CDS, and by extension offsite access to CDS.

cyrus.reed@LIGO.ORG - 07:58, Tuesday 10 June 2014 (12276)

I have finished with the core switch, and have now started on the other internal CDS switches.  Rebooting the core switch freed the used memory, so it is probably an issue with a slow memory leak.  The subsequent firmware update will hopefully address this.

cyrus.reed@LIGO.ORG - 11:23, Tuesday 10 June 2014 (12283)

I have finished with all of the major work on the switches, there should be no more network interruptions.  The GC offsite network outage was just unhappy coincidence, and was unrelated to the CDS work.

X1 QUAD08 TF

[Mark B Jeff B Arnaud P]

Yesterday we did some software debugging in the staging building in order to run transfer functions on the assembled quad 08.
When driving the top mass, we usually monitor the lower stages osems, in both osem and euler basis. For some reason the model running for the quad doesn't record those channels (particularly the ones in the euler basis "WIT_{L/P/Y}_DQ"). We decided not to spend too much time understanding what the model situation was, and instead simply not monitor the lower stages channels during the top mass TFs.

The undamped transfer function measurements for the main and the reaction chain are attached.

QUAD08 should be compared to the model called "wireloop"  (=wires from UIM to PUM looping around PUM) instead of the "wire" one (=cable segments between UIM and PUM). The first attachment from the alog above was modified since I was using the wrong model for comparison. With the wireloop model there is still a small discrepancy in the second pitch mode (modeled at 1.33Hz and measured at 1.45Hz). By playing with the d values (defined p7 of T080188) I came up with a good match, cf attachment.

Here are the modified d values for reference :
new_dm = old_dm + 0.7mm
new_dn = old_dn + 0.7 mm
new_d4 = old_d4 - 0.8 mm

Also, after an other round of matlab debugging (pb with channel sampling rates in the matlab scripts, path definitions etc...) we were able to get spectra of TOP and UIM osems, with the suspension undamped. Results are attached in the second pdf.
The only thing to notice is the noise content at high frequencies for the left osem of M0 (cyan curve, 1st page). This might be harmonics from the large 60Hz signal.

This afternoon we tested the noise seen in the left bosem of the main chain. We swapped left and right osem cables (at the osem output), and measured a spectra before and after. When plugging the right channel to the left osem, the noise was still present in the spectra (cf screenshot) meaning the noise comes from the left osem itself.

Second attachment is a comparison of the transfer functions between different "wireloop" quads. The 2nd pitch mode frequency is varying from quad to quad, but the largest discrepancy is on QUAD08.

Today we replaced the left osem of the main chain of QUAD08 in the staging building with an other BOSEM (stolen from one of the 3rd IFO TMS). New OLV were stored, offsets and gains were set in medm.
 Results of individual osems spectra are attached. The M0 LF channel dosen't show the elevated noise seen yesterday anymore

ITM swap status

Betsy, Travis, Danny, Margot

Today, we finished deinstalling the ITMx lower section of the QUAD using the install arm and elevator.  All went as it was supposed to.  After transfering the load to the manlift and attaching the LSAT structure for support, we set it down onto one of the LSAT trollies we have.  We then separated the Main and Reaction chains.  Margot and Danny FirstContacted the CP front and back surfaces (spray for back, paint brush for front due to bump stop locations).

While FC work was going, Travis and I went into BSC1 and started prepping the ITMy for deinstallation.  By the end of the day (and some final muscle from Danny) we had the masses locked in positions which facilitate upper and lower segment separation, the cross braces and sleeve structures removed.  (Of course, see yesterdays alog for exact details of how this really happens with floor panels removed, etc.)  We also finished pulling the balance of the witness plates and witness optics in BSC1 and BSC2.

 

Note, when we removed the flooring in both BSC3 and BSC1 we found hidden treasures.  To be continued... 

:)

H1 ITMx Deinstallation underway

(Betsy, Travis, Danny, Margot)

Today we (undid some work! - ha):

 

- Swung the ACB back with it's swing-away hardware

- Put a TFE cap on the TCS steering mirror right in the line of foot-traffic and floor removal for protection

- Removed the stiffening braces and wedges (and ~40 fasteners) from the ITMx QUAD

- Removed 3 of the floor panels and removed the sleeve stiffening structure from the QUAD

- Started disconnection of all top stage OSEMs and cabling to lower stage OSEMs on QUAD

- Staged the QUAD hanger hardware and elevator adapter parts

- Richard swapped out my dead backup PS for the elevator - thx, RM for promptness

- Collected the witness plates/samples from BSC 1 and cleaned flooring there

Travis breaking back - you can either see it or get an arm in there to adjust it, but you can't do both:

Besides the sleeve and pile of larger parts removed from a QUAD during chamber de/installation (shown in picture above), following is a picture of all of the fasteners, nuts, etc that also get removed from the QUAD (the pan was empty when we started):
