Personnel Safety Systems Bryce Karnaghan

Australian Synchrotron Background My history § 25 Years in control systems § Most experience on water, power and rail § Leaning about synchrotrons Beamline PSS § Via booster and storage ring PSS

Australian Synchrotron Requirements of a PSS Protect personnel § Safety Integrity Level 3 § No single point of failure § Fail-safe Other requirements § Separate system from controls and instrumentation system (EPICS) § Be able to transfer data to EPICS § Control personnel access when radiation hazards exist § Allow mtce access when radiation hazards removed

Australian Synchrotron Meeting the requirements Equipment § Uses safety rated PLC/relay system from Pilz

Australian Synchrotron Meeting the requirements (cont) Equipment (cont) § An intercom and video surveillance system at access points § Controlled access gates § Captive permit key § Blue lights in vaults when no access is not allowed § Illuminated signs, at appropriate locations within the facility § Emergency Stop buttons throughout the vaults § Ability to crash out of an access gate § Safety switches on doors as interlocks

Australian Synchrotron Meeting the requirements (cont) Three operation modes § Open Access Mode: Allows unlimited and open entry to authorised personnel. Both the radiation and electrical hazards are interlocked to be off.

Australian Synchrotron Meeting the requirements (cont) Three operation modes (cont) § Authorised Access Mode: Allows limited and controlled entry to authorised personnel through controlled doors only. The radiation hazards are interlocked to be off. Electrical hazards may be on to allow specialised testing. This access mode allows for the search / secure procedure of each zone and for limited / controlled procedural access. In both cases access is allowed only to authorised personnel following a strict protocol.

Australian Synchrotron Meeting the requirements (cont) Three operation modes (cont) § No Access Mode: Allows operation of the beam in the Linac Booster Area (zones 1, 2 and 3) and/or into the Storage Ring (zones 4, 5 and 6). Radiation and electrical hazards exist and no personnel are allowed in the zone. Must complete search before entering this mode

Australian Synchrotron Implementation External contract § Installed by Sage Automation in partnership with Pilz and Nielsen. § Meeting all requirements
