VENT ACTIVITY STAT mid boot fests
Slow start on vent tasks today - besides the lack of water onsite this morning, and the particularly nasty power outage which are making things not come back up very well, we popped into HAM2 to keep moving on a few of the next steps.  Corey has captured detailed pictures of components and layouts, and Camilla and I have logged all of the LSC and ASC PD serial numbers and cables numbers.  We removed all connections at these PD boxes and Daniel is out making the RF cable meter length measurements.  OPS were realigning all suspensions to a golden DRMI time they chose as a reference for any fall back times.  Jason and Ryan are troubleshooting other PSL items that are misbehaving.

We are gearing up to take a side road on today's plan to look for flashes out of HAM2 to convince ourselves that the PSL PZT and alignment restoration of some suspensions are somewhat correct.

WFS and LSC RF sensors were turned off

In preparation for disconnecting cables in HAM1, I turned off the following DC interface chassis:

LSC RF PD DC interface chassis in ISC R4 (REFL-A, POP-A among others), LSC RF PD DC interface chassis in ISC R1 (REFL-B among others),  and ASC WFS DC interface chassis in ISC R4 (REFL_A, REFL_B among others).

Daniel will perform TDR to measure RF in-vac cable length from outside.

Turning off the DC interface for LSC REFL_B somehow interfere with FSS locking. Turns out that the DC interface provides power (and maybe fast readback of the DC output) of FSS RFPD.

Since the point of powering down was to safely disconnect the DC in-vac cable from LSC REFL_B, and since the cable was safely disconnected, I restored the power and the FSS relocked right away.

Recovery from 2025-04-06 Power Outage: SQZ Timing Comparator Lost Uplink -- Power Cycle Fixes It
J. Kissel, M. Pirello
2025-04-06 Power outage: LHO:83753

Among the things that did not recover nicely from the 2025-04-06 power outage was the Timing Comparator D1001370 that lives in ISC-C2 U40 (see component C261 on pg 3 of D1900511-v9). The symptom was that its time-synchronizing FPGA was caught in a bad state, and the timing fanout in the CER Beckhoff status for the comparator was reporting that H1:SYS-TIMING_C_FO_A_PORT_13_NODE_UPLINKUP was in error (a channel value of zero instead of one). 

We didn't know any of this at the start of the investigation.
At the time of investigation start, we only new of an error by following through the automatically generated "SYS" screens (see attached guide),
   SITEMAP > SYS > Timing > Corner A Button [which had a red status light] 
   > TIMING C_FO_A screen Port 13, dynamically marked as a "C" for comparator [whose number was red, and the status light was red] 
   > Hitting the "C" opens the subscreen for TIMING C_FO_A NODE 13, which shows that red "Uplink Down" message in the middle right
The screenshot shows the NODE 13 screen both in the "now" fixed green version state, and a time-machined "broken" version.

Going out to the CER, we found that status light for Digital Port 13 == Analog Port 14 on the timing fanout (D080534; ISC-C3 U11) was blinking. 
Marc tried moving the comms cable to analog port 16, because "sometimes these things have bad ports." That didn't work, so we moved it back to analog port 14.

That port's comms fiber cable was not labeled, so we followed it physical to find its connection to the SQZ timing comparator (again in ISC-C2 U40, thankfully "right next door"), to find it's "up" status light also blinking.
Marc suggested that the comparators may lose sync, so we power cycled it. This chassis doesn't have a power switch, so we simply disconnected and reconnected its +/-18 V power cable.
After waiting ~2 minutes, all status lights turned green.

SEI recovery status, HAM8 and ETMY coildriver binary issues after power outage

I've been trying to recover seismic systems this morning after the power outage. So far, I've gotten HEPI pump stations back up, all the ISI are damping. Worked with Patrick to get both BRS are back up and running, but their heating was off for a while and it will take some time to get back to a good state.

ETMY and HAM8 however have some issue with the binary read backs for their coil drivers. I've check the racks and the overtemp relay lights are all good, but the binary read backs indicate a number of the overtemp relays are tripped. Not sure what the cause is yet, but fixing these isn't a priority today. Working with Dave, I power cycled both the binary in and coil drivers for HAM8, but that didn't fix the readbacks. Similar to this alog, we just put in test offsets to get the bit word clean and will wait for Fil to be available to try opening the expansion chassis. These tables should be able to isolate now, not that they are needed. Dave has filed and FRS and the test offset shows up in SDF.

PSL Mostly Recoverd from Power Outage

R. Short, J. Oberling, P. Thomas, J. Hanks

We restarted the PSL after yesterday's power outage.  Some notes:

Once the PSL Beckhoff was restarted we noticed that the output power seemed unusually low, we traced this to the calibration settings being out of date.  When running a newer version of the software we have to remember to grab the persistent settings file (port_851.bootdata from C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Boot\PLC), this holds all of the trip points, sensor calibrations, and a running tally of operating hours.  Not sure why the system lost this information now, I don't think we've ever seen this happen with a system restart and I currently have no explanation.  We were able to get the PD and LD monitor calibration settings from my alog from February when I changed the pump diode operating currents, and were able to grab the operating hours using ndscope (we looked at what they were reading when the power outage happened and set the operating hours back to that point + 1 hour (since the system had been running for ~1 hour at that point)).  One thing to note, however, the persistent operating hour data is now completely wrong.  The software tracks operating hours 2 ways: a user-updatable value and a locked value.  The former allows us to change operating hours when we install a new component (like swapping chillers or installing a new NPRO/Amplifier after a failure), while the latter tracks total uptime of said components (i.e. total number of hours an NPRO, any NPRO, has been running in the system).  It's these latter operating hours that are completely bogus, as we have no way to update these if the persisten settings file is lost (as I said, it's a locked value).

For future reference I've attached a screenshot of the current system settings table; the operating hours that are now wrong are in column labeled OPHRS A.

PSL Beckhoff network connection was restored with the following command:

netsh interface ipv4 add neighbors "Ethernet" 10.105.0.1 <mac-address>

where  "Ethernet" was the name of the interface as given by "ipconfig"

and <mac-address> is the address of 10.105.0.1 gateway. 

This adds a permanent entry to the arp table.

A similar entry had to be added to the RGA workstation to communicate with corner station RGAs after the last network upgrade, but the arp entry had to be deleted after

the installation of sw-lvea-aux1 using

netsh interface ipv4 delete neighbors ....

Status of power outage recovery

Came in to find all IFO systems down. Working through recovery now.

SUSB123 power supply seemed to have tripped off. ITMs and BS OSEM counts were all sitting very low around 3000. Once power supply was flipped back on, OSEM counts returned to normal for ITMX and BS, but now ITMY coil drivers filter banks are fflashing ROCKER SWITCH DEATH. Jeff and Richard are back in the CER cycling the coil drivers to hopefully fix that.

Also power for ISIITMY is down and being worked on to bring back.

Most of vent work is currently on hold and focused on getting systems back online

oli.patane@LIGO.ORG - 09:50, Monday 07 April 2025 (83772)

Cycling the coil drivers worked to fix that issue with the ITMY coil drivers. They needed to turn the power back off, turn the connected chassis off, then turn the power back on and then each chassis back on one by one.

The ITMY ISI GS13 that failed was replaced,and work is still going on to bring ITMY ISI back.

There are some timing errors that need to be corrected and a problem with DEV4 at EX.

Once the ISI was back, Elenna and I brought all optics in HAM7/8 back to ALIGNED. Elenna put ZM4, FC1 back to before the power outage as they had changed ~200urad from SQZ/FC ASC signals being zeroed. Everything else (ZM1,2,3,5,OPO,FC2) was a <5-10 urad change so leaving as is.

Recovery from power outage

Richard powered up h1seih23 from the front panel, it is now running.

We power cycled h1psl0, it is back.

Erik reconfigured EX Dolphin front ends to communicate with port 8 of the EY Dolphin switch to get them to get the models going. CDSRFM at EX points to port 7 of EY's switch.

All models are running, only IPC errors are long-range-dolphin.

Should someone from operations start activating the SEI and SUS systems?

After the power outage, I went out to the site ~10pm Pacific to check status of purge air skid. Kobelco, water pump and drying towers were all running upon arrival. I verified the dew point was still ok (-41.8C measured at HAM1) and verified the drying towers switched normally. Note: Purge air was only connected to HAM1 since doors are off, corner volume is vented but not actively purging with no doors off.

While there I also restarted the controller for 3 of the FCT ion pumps and reset solenoid valve on aux cart connected to GV5 annulus. All looks ok. Left site ~10:40pm.

Regarding the 4UHV ion pump controller, the autostart setting is enabled now, thus the unit should power ON after a power glitch.  See some of the instructions to access the general menu.

Something to note during the removal of the -Y door for HAM1, a hair (see attached photo) was found embeded on one of the annulus o-rings, good eye Travis.  Maybe we are due for a contamination control refresh.
