I can go and do it. Or check if it’s done.

Hello Tim,

I just powered it down remotely, but someone will have to switch it off manually. The only things we need to do are push in the big red emergency stop button on the front panel of the cooling rack and then have someone with High Voltage training switch off the “main" breaker on the north side of the cooling rack. 

I believe Bill Struble (CCd) is familiar with shutting down the IST cooling rack and he has high voltage training. Bill, could you help Tim with this?

Best,

Gavin

Gavin,

Can we power down the IST cooling cabinet this afternoon?

Hi Gavin,

 

The replacement module is configured and tested, but I have to check with Wayne if the new device MAC was registered.

 

But we can go ahead and install the new module tomorrow afternoon after all the visitors clear out of 1006…Wednesday the latest.

 

Tim

Hello Tim,

 

Could you inform us of the current status/plan for the replacement FST cooling OMEGA module?

 

Also, are you able to help us test the FST interlock system?

 

Thank you,

Gavin

Yes, I have the configuration data from Yu…

 

I just need to configure, test and register the device before we can install it.

 

I’ll get that done and we should be able to install it next week.

Hi Tim,

   I was wondering if the OMEGA module has arrived. Gavin, Souvik and I are here. In case you have it we would like to join you when  you install it.

Hello Yu, Tim,

 

Thank you for your help. Please update us on this thread once the new OMEGA EIT-D module is installed.

Dear All,

 

As a short report for today. We went to STAR this afternoon, and with the help of Tim we identified the problem is really from the OMEGA EIT-D (Serial to Ethernet/Internet module). Tim has removed the broken module and will help us reinstall a newer one once it is delivered. (for more details of the problem, please see the history below this email)
We have turned off the power of the FST Cooling Rack. Please don't turn it on before the newer OMEGA EIT-D module is reinstalled. 

 

Thank you.

Best,

Yu

Subject: Re: [Star-ops-l] Power dip

 

Dear All,

 

Just to keep everyone on the same page. 

 

We went to STAR today, and power cycled the FST cooling rack. We still see the same problem: everything seems running well (from the cooling rack panel), but a couple of PVs are missing (shown 0) from the FST GUI. The 130.199.61.24 address has no response, while the 130.199.61.23 shows us the configure page correctly. 

Two possible problems: 1) the ethernet cable or switch is not working; 2) the network module is not working. We will go to STAR tomorrow with Tim, and switch the net cables to see which one is the real problem.

Then if the problem is the network module (Omega EIT-D), we will first check if it is because it is configured to the default setup, so the IP we set is not working anymore. Then, if none of this works, we will order a new one. 

 

I will post what we found after tomorrow's investigation. 

 

Thank you.

 

Best,

Yu

Hello Yu,

 

Thank you for your help.

 

I checked that the cooling connections for the 3 sets of patch panel boards were secure. I was informed at the end of February that the MCW was running through them. I saw no leaks. 

 

Also, at this point we can no longer visually inspect connections on the west TPC face since the west pole tip is closed. 

 

Best,

Gavin

Hi Gavin, and All,

 

Thank you, I will be there tomorrow and power cycle the crate.

I remember I could reset the system by our own (in-person, manual page 12), I will give it a try. 

For power-cycle the crate, I need some help from our STAR engineers. 

 

Another thing, do you know if the cooling for the patch panels are connected and running? One loop was not connected at the beginning of the last years run, and crated a lot of problems last time. We certainly want to double check this year. 

 

Will post the details to this list and a summary to the ops mail.

 

Thank you.

Best,

Yu

Hello Yu,

 

Yes, the FST cooling is off now. I have not checked anything new regarding the communication problem. 

 

If you have time, it would be great if you could try power-cycling the crate and resetting the interlock. 

 

Thanks,

Gavin

Hi Gavin,

 

I was wondering, is the FST cooling off now? And is there anything else you checked since the last time we discussed the FST Cooling module (Omega unit) communication problem? 

If it is ok, I might try to power-cycle the crate (will also need help from Christian to reset the rack interlock since there was a power dip) at some point this week. I'll be on-site for the collaboration meeting for this week, hope we can figure this out. 

 

 

Thank you.

Best,

Yu

Hi Alexei,

could you check tomorow and see if the FST cooling is up running?
It was left that way when Gavin left.
