Minutes

Present at JLab: Stepan, Krister, Hovanes

Present at SLAC: Sho, Pele, Takashi

 

Motor Stages for SLAC
  • Hovanes is working on setting up Linux OS on a desktop computer, then will setup VxWorks kernel and EPICS
  • Sergey gave Hovanes a minicrate and a controller for the motor controls setup
  • Krister will give Hovanes the OMS VME board and one OMS motor driver box on Wednesday
  • Krister will look into what is needed to have the motor here connected to the box, may need to order some connectors.
    • Leads, encoder, limit switches (NC according to Takashi)
  • Takashi expects 2-3 weeks worth of paperwork to transfer loan equipment between DOE labs
  • Stepan will talk to property people at JLab regarding paperwork
Beamline Magnet
  • Frascati magnet tests were successful, achieved 1100 A per coil. Dependence of the field versus current is taken. 
  • Next step is the miniT power supply controls. miniT power supply will not move, will stay where it is.
  • Pair spectrometer power supply will need to move downstream. All magnet and power supply moves are on Doug schedule. Hall B techs will help Krister with cabling the power supplies.
  • Krister will check with Charles Hightower about requirements regarding the power cables in the cables trays.
  • Takashi asked who will control the chicane power supplies. At this point it is Hall B, but it may be necessary to give the control to accelerator operators. 
Interlock PLC procurement 
  • Hovanes will setup a meeting with Hovanes, Krister and Dave Butler to finalize the list of items to be procured.
    • Once the required part numbers are identified, Hovanes will send the list to Marco for procurement.
  • Stepan has a Windows-based computer that may be suitable for RSLogix5000 installation.
  • Krister will try to use Hall D license until Hall B decides on license purchase.
  • Hovanes will prepare the description of the interlock system for people working on its development.
