Listed below are tasks associated with improvement of the SMS and its control
system as well as items that are necessary for preparation for back-angle
running of the G0 experiment. The tasks are prioritized, somewhat
subjectively, into the
following catagories:
tasks which MUST be done
(
),
tasks which SHOULD be done
(
), and
tasks which we WOULD LIKE to do
(
).
Send additions and "completions" to
Steven Williamson and they will be included
in the list. Completed tasks will be marked with a

|
| Design and build a "2nd stage transistorized relay box" for JT4 and possibly other JT valves (Build and test prototype during warm up?) |
|
| Add time delay to water flow loss interlocks. Time should be set to at least 30 sec. |
|
| Acquire/build a spare JT actuator (Andy is on top of this). Use a 3X slower gear box. Test this, then consider retrofitting other actuators with the slower gear box. |
|
| Leak check the peripheral transfer line and repair any leaks that are found. |
|
| Develop a permanent solution to the peripheral transfer line vacuum problem if leaks remain after leak check (pump from A-can, another pump, etc.) |
|
| Look into replacing corroded connectors on top of the reservoir (requires magnet warm and up to air). |
|
| Order remote cold-cathode read-out box. Arrange for connectors and cabling to but the readout box behind the green wall. |
|
| Order a spare flow controller (or possibly just the electronics?) |
|
| Try to come up with a better connection between Lookout and Epics (better than the web-query/excel scheme) that would show real-time values. |
|
| Test and repair PLC I/O modules that are questionable. |
|
| Consider "remote" PLC option (PLC located in electronics cage, with Ethernet connection to the signal processing electronics). |
|
| Investigate further the "fast component" transients during "power-supply off" event which are what cause the AQP to fast dump. Is there a way to cancel these? |
|
| Paul Brindza's high-capacity CDHXR? (cost is probably >$40k to $50k) |
|
| Put the code that currently runs in the G0SMS IOC into the PC-104 system. Get rid of G0SMS IOC. |
|
| Upgrade Lookout to the National Instruments version with the DirectSoft driver. |
|
| Add local pressure measuring device (interfaced to PLC) for cold return pressure. |
|
| Add local pressure measuring device (interfaced to PLC) for warm return pressure. |
|
| Add a plug valve position sensor (turn counter?) which can be read and logged by the control system. |
