Beamline Controls Completion Summary Beamline Controls design complete - July 2014 Assigned each beamline a controls engineer as interface to beamline scientists and other engineers. Controls engineers implement controls to conform NSLS-II beamline control standards, interface with other groups (IT, infrastructure, EPS) during construction Delivered controls for each beamline to facilitate beamline firstlights and achieving their KPPs Control infrastructure: network, timing, IOC and archiver servers, motion controllers, diagnostic cameras, and all cabling IOCs for motion control, vacuum control, and diagnostics CSS operator screens and integration with archiver, Olog Comprehensive testing and validation of control functions prior to IRR Scope verified Feb. 28, 2017 2 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE
Control Infrastructure EPICS distributed controls system. Each beamline has its own subnet as part of the NSLS-II global controls network, VLANs to separate Channel Access, Imaging, and Instrumentation for better network resiliency Installed and configured 2 -3 network switches for each beamline. 2 IOC servers, 1 Channel Archiver as part of 2. 04 scope Cabling for network, motor/encoders, vacuum devices PV naming follows NSLS-II naming standard Timing instrumentation including EVR for timing applications (VME) Use EPICS debian packages to enforce coherent software dependencies, autostart with proc. Serv for all softiocs, running in background and logged Autosave, IOCstats and system libraries are built in each IOC to generate PV lists, facilitating 3 channel-finder applications in BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE
Motion Controls Use standard NSLS-II Delta Tau controller + EPICS motor record Mostly stepper motors, many are running in closed-loop mode with encoder as feedback – Motor tuning performed at FATs and Installation Adopted absolute encoders if beamline design requires – e. g. In-vacuum motion where homing could be very complex Enforce motion configuration and wiring to follow the NSLS-II standard coordinate system Motion IOCs are generated by scripts with input from control spreadsheet Comprehensive testing and calibration performed for each motion axis Coordinate motion programs for virtual axes developed where required Developed/implemented non-delta tau motions, e. g. 4 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE
Vacuum Controls Ion pump controller: Gamma vacuum - MPC Ion Gauge controller: MKS 937 B Vacuum interlock connections to EPS, control engineer provides EPS requirements Serial line (RS-232) connection to MOXA terminal server, with EPICS IOCs for monitoring Each beamline also has a RGA IOC, continuous running under EPICS control 5 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE
Diagnostics Controls Standardized on Prosilica gig. E cameras, EPICS area. Detector IOC BPM readouts, with quad. EM_NSLS, and Sydor-bpm 6 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE
Other Features CA-gateway to control front-end devices at beamline and allowing control room to monitor beamline controls with ACLs (Access Control Lists) Channel Archiver appliance implemented at each beamline, with tight integration in Control System Studio (CSS) – right click PV → history CSS integrated with Olog, conveniently create operation/maintenance log entries from CSS – right click, choose “create log entry” 7 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE
