PIP Update Aug 6th 2012
Agenda • Summary Update • Current Activities • Bill Pellico – • N Eddy - Linac BPMs
Update General Info • Current Work • Booster RF cavity 5 now being refurbished (putting on tuners) • Linac Transformer – Plant visit today by EE support, still working out details of install • Booster temp transformer installed – new one in 8 – 9 months • LCW – Work Continues – looks to be on schedule • RFQ – beam tests continue – next slide • REPORT for High Power – Preparing for submission to Directorate for approval • High Power Ferrite Testing - 5KW amp test done on old ferrite – still no notable lose? • Booster Absorber – absorber on aisle and parts being machined – • Linac Modulator – Testing at 7 for DTI • Modulator – SLAC will be in on Aug 27 to discuss their work • Booster Modulators – Aug. schedule says we should see have of Mods completed? Shutdown - comments (Fernanda, Todd, Mary)? PIP PMG August 2nd – Went well – a lot of details • TOPIC Presenter Time Description • Introduction/Management Pellico 20 Minutes History, goals and guidelines • Linac Fernanda 20 Minutes Linac (tasks, milestones/goals) • Booster Keith 20 Minutes Booster (tasks, milestones/ goals) • RLS/Project Controls Elmie 15 Minutes RLS schedule – base line/update(s) • Budget Constraints Bob 15 Minutes Budget and targeted goals issues
FY12 Budget (~84% of FY) Look at Task funds – make sure you as managers know what the balance is!!
Work still needs to be done on: Vacuum Testing Second Source LEBT Stand mechanics – slide Einzel Lens trigging MEBT stand – not yet received Vacuum – Argonne Gas Simulations – flatness question Extractor second supply Extractor Safety Switch • Testing of RFQ – Schedule • Emittance Measurements • This week • RF Bunching Measurements • Maybe end of week – or early next • Run at operational level for a week • Review Schedule • Declare Start Date
Talks • N. Eddy - Linac BPMs • D. Barak - High Power Testing
Production Board Status (6/6/12) • Received first fully stuffed production board before shutdown for checkout • Found error in PCB • Require remaking 80 PCBs • Delay Assembly • $5k additional cost • $10k additional cost due to parts • 10 Additional boards + Prototypes • New PCBs in production • Assembled boards ~1 month
Production Board Status • PCB manufacturer had issues with first run, boards failed testing • Lost their production line manager • They had to re-run the boards – 6 week delay • PCB boards are now complete & tested and were all delivered to the assembly house • Expect first golden sample from assembly house by next week
Production Board Status Cont’d • Plan thorough checkout of the golden sample before releasing • Will include installing in LE Linac • Once released assembly of all boards will be complete in 4 weeks • Expect all boards delivered by mid September • Boards will be bench tested then can be installed • Will start with LE Linac • If feasible, all boards could be beam tested in LE Linac before installation elsewhere
LE Linac Beam Tests • Work underway to instrument bpms (2H, 2V) from tank 3 with new electronics • Electronics installed last week (prototype) • ACNET device conversion underway • Will install golden sample when available • Expand to include all LE bpms which see beam during NTF running
Software Status • Provide average Position, Intensity, & Relative Phase over each beam pulse for every BPM @15Hz – in ACNET via linac controls • Have an OAC to perform setup and control • Read/Write all control registers • Synchronized waveform readback • Position, Intensity, Phase @3MHz • Calibration control • Basic functionality tested
400 MeV Line Software • Current 400 MeV Line bpms use different electronics, readout, and application software • Had several meetings to discuss options • Plan is to extend Linac Controls readout to these bpms • Existing front-end vme processors will be used • Readout structure will be tweaked to support existing 400 MeV BPM applications
Plan • Complete conversion of LE Linacbpms to new system • Network connections done • Need to provide 805MHz • Replace these boards with Production boards once available • Will replace the rest of the crates as Production boards become available • Driven by board checkout • May rotate them through LE section for beam checkout • Expect all new boards installed early next year
