For the hall

  • note that max ramp rate in the hall is approximately 10V / 20H = 0.5 A/sec
  • need travelers for coil installation.
  • should we install a UPS on the Danfysik contactor and control boards?
  • should we install a second contactor in the Danfysik power supply?
  • do we need additional valves, check valves, bypasses, whatever?
  • do we need Dataforth voltage attenuators on coil tap channels?
  • do we need active isolation of coil tap channels, etc?
  • should we monitor all circuit breakers?
  • should we monitor all relays?
  • what is the effect of B field on sensors/relays? should some instrumentation be relocated?
  • do we need new flow sensors, or should they be relocated?
  • lock box for power supply key
  • more ethernet power strips
  • use custom ("add-on") instructions to simplify PLC code
