Expected power failure impact 1 - Main failure Expected scenario: LBDS MASTER PLC detects MAIN failure. LBDS MASTER PLC issues an internal dump request to TSU cards. Synchronous dump executed before MKD generator voltages reach their tracking limits (BETS/SCSS). Expected result: Synchronous dump Missing diagnosis systems : NONE! Assessment of correct LBDS behaviour: OK 20.06.2012

Expected power failure impact 2 - UPS-A failure (a) Expected scenario a): LBDS MASTER PLC powers off. Safety link to TSU is broken = TSU internal dump request. Synchronous dump executed before MKD PTU and generator voltages reach their tracking limits. Expected result: Synchronous dump Missing diagnosis systems : IPOC1-MKD TSU-A registers SCSS (WinCC) Assessment of correct LBDS behaviour: OK 20.06.2012

Expected power failure impact 2 - UPS-A failure (b) Expected scenario b): TSU-A powers off. TSU-B detects TSU-A problem = TSU-B internal dump request. Synchronous dump executed before MKD PTU and generator voltages reach their tracking limits. Expected result: Synchronous dump Missing diagnosis systems : IPOC1-MKD TSU-B registers SCSS (WinCC) Assessment of correct LBDS behaviour: OK 20.06.2012

Expected power failure impact 2 - UPS-A failure (c) Expected scenario c): TSU-A detects power failure = TSU-A internal dump request. Synchronous dump executed before MKD PTU and generator voltages reach their tracking limits. Expected result: Synchronous dump Missing diagnosis systems : IPOC1-MKD. TSU-A internal statuses. SCSS (WinCC) Assessment of correct LBDS behaviour: OK 20.06.2012

Expected power failure impact 3 - UPS-B failure Expected scenario: TSU-B detects power failure = TSU-B internal dump request. Synchronous dump executed. Expected result: Synchronous dump Missing diagnosis systems : IPOC2-MKD. TSU-B internal statuses. Assessment of correct LBDS behaviour: OK 20.06.2012

Expected power failure impact 4 - TOTAL failure E xpected scenario: TSU-A/B detects power failure = TSU internal dump request. Synchronous dump executed before MKD PTU and generator voltages reach their tracking limits. Expected result: Synchronous dump Missing diagnosis systems : ALL ! (But XPOC in REMOTE with BEAM) Assessment of correct LBDS behaviour: BAD ! 20.06.2012

Expected power failure impact 5 - Shortcut in TSU crate (+12V) Expected scenario: TSU-A/B detects power failure = TSU internal dump request. Synchronous dump executed. Expected result: Synchronous dump Missing diagnosis systems : NONE Assessment of correct LBDS behaviour: OK 20.06.2012

Commissioning tests Tests already performed - Main failure Tests performed locally at Point 6 in 2006. LBDS-MAIN circuit-breaker has been opened manually. Resulted in a synchronous dump. 20.06.2012

Commissioning tests Tests already performed – UPS failure Tests performed locally at Point 6 in 2006. Four LBDS UPS circuit-breakers have been opened manually ‘at the same time’. Resulted in a synchronous dump. Is it representative of a real UPS failure ? 20.06.2012

Commissioning tests Tests foreseen for end of LS1 MAIN failure: Already done in 2006. UPS-A failure: Already done in 2006 (manually = not real UPS failure ?). UPS-B failure: Never done so far ! UPS-A + UPS-B failure TOTAL failure (Main + UPS-A + UPS-B) 20.06.2012

How to perform the commissioning LOCAL or REMOTE ? LOCAL commissioning at Point 6: REMOTE commissioning from CCC: PROS: Tests performed from 450 GeV to7 TeV. Team on site in case of LBDS problem. ... PROS: Test with pilot beam at 450 GeV is possible. Check LBDS with external diagnosis systems (XPOC). Arming of LBDS is easy. Could be done on a regular basis. ... CONS: We need to arm LBDS: Close BIS loops. Close LASS. Arm BETS (connect BETS-Simulator). Test with beam is not possible ! Cannot be done on regular basis. ... CONS: How to cut/re-establish power remotely ? Tests at 7 TeV not possible. Access needed in case of LBDS problem. ... 20.06.2012

How to perform the commissioning Provoke TOTAL power failure ? By-Pass mode for both UPS. Opening of EN/EL Circuit-Breaker. Is this possible in REMOTE mode ? Impact of total power loss on other LHC equipment ? (Cryogenics, QPS, Vacuum, BIS, …) 20.06.2012

How to perform the commissioning Assess correct LBDS behaviour We need the most important diagnosis FECs: IPOC - TSU: Check for correct TSU card behaviour. Check LBDS synchronisation with beam. IPOC - MKD: Check for correct MKD strength. Check for correct MKD synchronisation wrt each other. We need power for at least these two important diagnosis FECs. We need power for the network infrastructure. Do we need a special power feed for diagnosis FECs & IT equipment ? (At least in case TOTAL failure test is feasible) 20.06.2012

How to perform the commissioning EN/EL modifications needed ? Insert new circuit-breakers ? (Temporarily / Definitively ) ? Remote control of circuit-breakers ? Powering of diagnosis FECs from upstream of new circuit-breakers ? … 20.06.2012

When to perform the commissioning Must be done at the end of LS1 ! We will have all LOCAL conditions to arm LBDS. Test procedure to be defined... Should we do it on a regular basis ? Should we do it at the end of every WS ?? LOCAL ? / REMOTE ? Should we do it at the end of every TS ??? REMOTE ? 20.06.2012
