Isabelle Laugier, AT/VAC May 6 th 2008 SPS and Transfer Lines Contents: SPS, North area and CNGS ion pumps, Piranni/Penning gauges and sectors valves TI2 and TI8 ion pumps and sectors valves
7
Isabelle Laugier, AT/VAC May 6 th 2008 LHC Contents: The QRL and Cryo Vacuum systems with triplet of gauges and fixed pumping groups The 2 beam vacuum systems with Pirani/Penning gauges, ion gauges, ion pumps, mobil equipments (pumping groups or bake out racks) and sector valves The 2 dump lines with Pirani/Pening gauges, ion pumps and sector valves The 4 experimental areas with vacuum equipment and Gas Injection System. In LHCb, Velo is specific.

Isabelle Laugier, AT/VAC May 6 th 2008 Global actions To open/close valves To start/stop ion pumps & gauges
16
Interlocks to Cryo Hardware interlocks Two types: 0.1 mbar, given by one or several VGR 500 mbar, given by one or several VGM Delay of 30s between gauge OFF and interlock set Possibility to send an alarm to CCC Isabelle Laugier, AT/VAC May 6 th 2008

Vacuum sector valves interlocks VVS will close ifVVS will open ifRemarks Linac 2&3 and LEIRTwo VPI in the same sector are bad At least one VPI is OKVPI can be restarted only if TPG is OK SPSThree VPI power supplies are bad in the same sector. All sextant will close. All Delta P are OK, taken on VGR. VVF will move only with VGP information. LHCBeam OFF AND (n-1) equipment bad n equipment OKEach VVS has n (3 or 4) equipment for Interlocks : 1or 2 VPI and 2 VGP. Isabelle Laugier, AT/VAC May 6 th 2008

Conclusion Available in CCC-TI (ex TCR) and CCC-SPS since 2003 Available in LEIR control room since 2005 Available in Cryo control rooms since 2006 Available in CCC-LHC for hardware commissioning Used by Vacuum group since 2002 but an important evolution has been done. Ready to implement your new requirements A Linux version will be there before the end of the year.
