WIC installation for ELENA MPE Technical Meeting 14

WIC installation for ELENA: MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 - Introduction to WIC system - Project ELENA - Status Yan Bastian for the WIC team 1

WIC (Warm magnet Interlock Controller) layout Standardized interlock system for normal conducting magnets based on PLC: MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 – Collects inputs from thermo-switches, flow switches and status power converters – Then gives the Power Permit to the PC 2

WIC Standard Interlock boxes 1 -ch box : Quadrupoles, Sextupoles 1 x thermo-switch MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 2 -ch box : Dipoles, H/V Correctors, Solenoids 1 x thermo-switch 1 x flow-meter 4 -ch box : Septum, Electron Cooler 1 x thermo-switch 1 x flow-meter TE-ABT, BE-BI signals 3

Interlock boxes • Interlock boxes are placed on or close to each magnet to collect all input signals. • For maintenance purpose, a remote test feature is implemented (by means of a relay) in order to simulate the opening of any input signal. • This operation can be done remotely and allow us to check periodically the MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 installation during shutdowns. 4

The Power Supply crate MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 - The power supply crate : Supply the 24 V DC to the others crates. 2 x PS in parallel for redundancy 5

The Master crate MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 - The PLC crate contains: The code of the system (CPU) A communication processor (CP) for the supervision The digital input (24 DI) and output modules (32 DO) to collect signals from the magnets and send remote test commands 6

The Magnet crate MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 - The magnet crate : collect signals from the magnets and send remote test commands 7

The Power Converter crate MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 - The power converter crate : collect the PC statuses and send «Fast Abort» commands to the PCs 8

CERN Accelerator Complex MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 ELENA : Extra Low ENergy Antiproton 9

ELENA, Antimatter and Angels&Demons MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 - ELENA will be used to decelerate antiprotons coming from the AD with a beam energy of 5. 3 Me. V - ELENA will decelerate down to a few ke. V beam energy at which the antiprotons will be ‘trapped’ to make anti hydrogen atoms (=antimatter) -The aim is to study the antimatter in the different experiments like ATRAP, ALPHA, AEGIS and ASACUSA In the film Angels&Demons this canister is stolen from a secret laboratory at CERN. It contains one gram of antimatter and is to be used as a devastating weapon. But what is antimatter? 10 http: //angelsanddemons. web. cern. ch/antimatter/making-antimatter

Layout of Building 193 Platform for racks Ring LNI Experiment area 2 racks dedicated to the WIC - MYWIC 01 - MYWIC 02 LNE x 2 MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 Ring AD Control room AD MYWIC 03 in the power room 11

ELENA Project ELENA will be built in 2 phases: Phase 1 : HWC for this summer Phase 2 : HWC for 2017 ? MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 Phase 1 Phase 2 12

Phase 1 of the project Phase 1 will cover the ring and the injection line MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 LNI LNE 00 LNE 50 LNE 00 13

Phase 2 layout LNE 00 Experiment area MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 The WIC will protect the critical electro statics components (10 out of 300): - 10 inputs ? - 20 inputs and outputs for the PC Discussions on-going with ABT group to confirm the exact number of I/Os. 16

MY WIC 01 03 Hardware configuration • Project split in 2 phases implies for us: WIC 02 • 2 x generation of the software code MY MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 • The HW set-up is prepared for the 2 phases • 2 x commissioning of the complete installation 17

Win. CC Supervision MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 Remote supervision Archiving of faults 18

MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 ELENA Installation All magnets are now on site with interlock boxes mounted except the H/V correctors. All the interlock cables are installed and tested (by EN/EL). 19

WIC software test in our lab The 9 crates are now installed in our lab. The software code (PLC + Winc. CC) is tested. The installation is ready to be deployed in building 193 next week. MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 HWC scheduled for end of August with: • • TE-MSC (magnets) TE-EPC (power converters) TE-ABT (septum) BE-BI (Electron cooler) 20

Conclusion • The WIC is designed for the protection of conventional magnets • For the first time, in Elena, the WIC will protect also: • The Septum • The Electron Cooler • The Ion switch • It is foreseen to add also (in phase 2): • The electro-static components MPE Technical Meeting, 14 JULY 2016 • Hardware and software now ready to be deployed in building 193 next week. • The HWC will start at the end of the month 21
