 20 PLCs for ACS 400 MHz acceleration system
 8 PLCs for ADT Transverse Damper
 Supervision via FESA at 1 Hz
– continuous values: powers, temperatures, pressures, flows
• ~ 700 signals  measurement system
– statuses, faults, interlocks
• ~ 150 signals  measurement system
LHC Post Mortem Workshop, 17 Jan 2007
 Interlock state changes (leading to RF or HV trip or beam interlock)
– Software interlocks timestamped to 10ms precision in PLC
– Hardware interlocks timestamped to 10us precision in dedicated VME
module
– “first fault” memorized
 Interlock diagnostic performed in FESA  alarm system

boards
– 3.2 ms @ 80 MS/s (36 turns)

RF frequency monitoring & beam diagnostics
 RF frequency monitoring and interlock (1 per ring)
– VME Trigger Unit (VTU) used as 400MHz counter
– updated at 20 Hz
– used to generate beam interlock if outside limits
– circular history buffer in FEC (few minutes)
LHC Post Mortem Workshop, 17 Jan 2007
– ~ 50 kB
 APW wideband wall current monitor signal (1 per ring)
– digitized at 8 GS/s, up to 170 turns
– 256 MB  could be made available for PM
– bunch length & longitudinal emittance extracted at ~ 1 Hz
–  measurement system
11
Triggering
 The 2 rings are independent: separate buffers are used for Beam1 and
Beam 2
 PM timing event used to freeze:
– fast (80 MS/s) stand-alone analogue acquisition
– slow (1 KS/s/) analogue acquisition
LHC Post Mortem Workshop, 17 Jan 2007
– RF frequency measurement (20 Hz)
 Many of the embedded PM buffers in the Low-Level VME boards have very
short recording time (3 or 6 ms)
– latency of PM event (< 2ms) may cause significant loss of data
– BIS status signal distributed to all Low-Level VME crates and can be
used to trigger buffer freezing
– PM timing event used to initiate data upload and re-arm
– In the case of dump without PM (e.g. inject and dump), re-arm after a
few ms timeout
12
Remarks: Pre-processing and analysis
 Fast PM buffer data volumes:
– embedded diagnostics ~ 300MB
– stand-alone analogue signal diagnostics ~ 640MB
– not clear how this can be reduced by pre-processing
 simple pre-analysis with extraction of gains, phases, signal levels etc. and
their comparison with reference values might be possible in the Front-End
 more sophisticated analysis will require expert intervention
LHC Post Mortem Workshop, 17 Jan 2007
– will not have such tools on day one
 simple signal visualization is a good starting point
13
Current status and conclusions
 PM buffers designed into the Low-Level equipment
 Additional buffers provided via stand-alone systems where needed
 Readout is an integral part of the FESA front-end software
– Transmission of data to the PM system is still to be implemented
 Other data for correlation:
– Slow data from power equipment will be acquired in Measurement and
Logging systems
LHC Post Mortem Workshop, 17 Jan 2007
– Interlocks will result in an accurately timestamped alarm in LASER
 Should a snapshot be added into the PM record?
 Concentrate initially on providing the necessary data, sophisticated analysis
tools will come later
