Minutes

Present: Elliott W, Josh B, Mark S, Scot S, Hovanes E.

Gas System

• Current designs are a bit more complicated than was expected.
• Beni will give a presentation at one of the Aug Controls meetings.
• Josh is talking to Narcisco to coordinate controls choices.
• Narcisco is working on a P&I diagram.

Danfysik Power Supply

• Tom just wants to use H-D personnel to work on the supply.
• Due to his workload Mark will not much more than the minimum necessary to get the supply going for the Solenoid test.
• We'll revisit generic refurbishment and upgrades after the test.
• Mark will sort his Danfysik maintenance list into must do, should do, would like to do.
• Fire piping should go in next week.
• Supply will be moved shortly afterwards.
• Until then Mark will do whatever work he can on the unpowered supply (Klixon, SOE chains, ground fault detector, etc).
• Giles needs to get a signed maintenance OSP in the next few weeks.

Purchases

• Josh ordered one Windows quad-core computer. After much discussion we decided he should order two more plus three big monitors for the test.
• Josh is having procurement return the A-B stuff from Tiger Controls and reorder from EECO (authorized distributor). Seals on some items from Tiger Controls were broken and they were more expensive than EECO.
• Elliott will identify an old Linux to be used to host the MySql database.

EPICS

• Vanik will leave in mid-Aug, he is completing GUI's for various devices that use his driver.
• Nerses' arrival is delayed due to new DOE and Homeland Security regulations.

Counting House

• All electrical installation parts are on order, some have arrived.
• The RDC can not be remotely monitored, we didn't purchase that option (probably not needed).
• The UPS remote monitoring card is installed but not hooked up to the network.

Solenoid Test

• Scot is 95% done with originally planned rack wiring, but see below.
• Interim vacuum system still being designed, no multi-coil vacuum manifold for the test.
• Vacuum panel will live in additional crates on the Cryo platform.
• Scot will have to work on racks when vacuum system is understood.
• Josh will tell Scot about vacuum channels that are currently known.
• Brent will finish programming network switch this week.
• Scot will have Sam help him install the switch in the racks and connect it to the network.
• The Fastrack schedule needs more realistic input concerning mechanical construction from Tom.
• Preliminary indications are that this may push going cold date back by a month.
• George should finish the FMEA in the next week or so.
• Test goals are done, Josh is now starting on the full Test Plan.
• Test Plan will refer to procedures written by other people.
• Elliott is working on the Quench Detector redesign.
• Scot will give the QD to Chris S so that he can have a look at the balance pots.

PLC

• Josh is mostly done with PLC programming.
• Now working on HMI screens.
• Dave is busy with FDC problems, Josh may take over the power supply programming effort.
• Yi will soon begin PXI programming.
• Scot will get channel assignments from Yi.

JInventory

• Elliott is upgrading the overview page to display the housing parent name.
• Thus we'll need to come up with shorter "short names" (some are real long!).
• Elliott is also working on displaying the full housing, power and control hierarchies. This involves implementing a "Closure Table" in the database.

Elog

• Elliott will send out the time/date of Theo's presentation on the unified Elog.

Mantis

• Please close out completed tasks.
