Questions to automatic workshop
13 BLs financed Another 5 under discussion MAX IV status: Injector linac running since May GeV ring under commissioning 1.5 GeV installation started, commissioning fall 2016 BL commissioning starts early 2016 Lab inauguration June 2016
Is the present control system robust enough to form a basis for automation? Is it userfriendly enough for allowing non- experts to effectively handle the control system? What feed-backs are lacking to allow the rings and linac to operate continuously for a week without operator interventions under normal conditions (no black-outs, hard-ware failures)? Is the machine protection system good enough? Is the PSS good enough? Is error diagnostics sufficient? Is automatic cold start-up a realistic scenario? Comments on alarm system. Other stuff.
