Stephen Schuh Vacuum Controls Final Design 6 April 2006 Charges to the Review Committee 1.Evaluate the presented design against LCLS physics and performance requirements. In particular: Does the proposed control system provide appropriate status and control signals to the vacuum system users (vacuum experts, physicists, operators)? Is the PLC adequate to perform all the required interlocking functions? Do the proposed valve interlocks adequately prevent the spread of vacuum leaks in the beam line? Does the proposed gun waveguide vacuum interlock adequately protect the gun from vacuum-related arcing? Do all the proposed waveguide vacuum interlocks adequately protect the klystrons from vacuum-related arcing? Are the proposed outputs to the MPS adequate to prevent the electron beam from striking a valve? Does the proposed plan to shut off ion pump power supplies after a smoke alarm adequately protect against fires in cable trays? 2.Identify any other technical issues not already addressed in the presented design 3.Determine if the presented schedule and plans for design, procurement, and installation are reasonable 4.Identify any safety or environmental issues that have not been addressed 5.Write a report of comments, findings, and recommendations

Stephen Schuh Vacuum Controls Final Design 6 April 2006 Valve Interlocks Requirements: Automatically close valves to isolate regions with bad vacuum Automatically close valves in controlled or permitted access Notify MPS when valve is closed to prevent beam from hitting valve 100 msec response time (valves are slow valves with ~500 msec closing time) Solution: Set points stored in gauge controllers and pump controllers PLC receives set point status from controllers (24V digital inputs) PLC receives access state from PPS (24V digital inputs) PLC controls valve solenoid (24V digital output) PLC sends valve state to MPS (24V digital output) Interlock logic is a PLC ladder logic routine: monitor inputs, close valve if an input is faulted

Stephen Schuh Vacuum Controls Final Design 6 April 2006 Waveguide Vacuum Interlocks Purpose: Inhibit RF output from klystron if vacuum pressure in RF waveguide is high, in order to avoid arcing. Arcing could damage RF windows or the RF gun. Background: Existing waveguide vacuum interlock for linac klystrons: Measure pressure at output of klystron If pressure exceeds set point, send fault signal to Modulator Klystron Support Unit (MKSU) MKSU inhibits RF output from klystron Features of existing interlock: Fast: gauge controller wired directly to MKSU Simple: one gauge per klystron Some existing interlocks are more complicated: Positron source, PEP injector Multiple gauges and pumps are interlocked to each klystron
Stephen Schuh Vacuum Controls Final Design 6 April 2006 Existing Waveguide Vacuum Interlocks
Stephen Schuh Vacuum Controls Final Design 6 April 2006 LCLS Waveguide Vacuum Interlock Requirements Modify waveguide vacuum interlocks for the following klystrons: 20-6: New waveguide directs RF output to LCLS Gun 20-7: New waveguide directs RF output to L0-A in LCLS injector 20-8: New waveguide directs RF output to L0-B in LCLS injector 20-5: New waveguide directs RF output to TCAV0 in LCLS injector 21-2: New waveguide directs RF output to X-Band section in Sector 21 Goals for modified interlocks: Monitor pressure everywhere in waveguide, not just at klystron output Response time: at most 8 msec slower than existing system (8 msec is 1 beam pulse at 120 Hz)

Stephen Schuh Vacuum Controls Final Design 6 April 2006 PLC vs Hardware Summary Box PLC Advantages No additional gauge / pump wiring needed. All gauges & pumps already wired to PLC PLC hardware well suited to interlocking Easy to modify interlock logic if desired Disadvantages PLC adds ~5 msec to response time Rely on vacuum PLC for RF interlock Hardware Summary Box Advantages: Faster interlock Proven to work at positron source klystrons RF interlock independent of vacuum PLC Disadvantages Additional hardware summary box needed Additional gauge and pump wiring required Difficult to change interlock logic
