Target Hall Crane PLC Module/Battery Replacement
The Target Hall Crane bridge and trolley motion was lost after a period of the crane having power disconnected over winter holidays. This is reported in the following e-log:
https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/RH-ISAC/2039
. This issue is a duplicate of what happened in 2019 at this time:
https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/RH-ISAC/1845
It was determined from troubleshooting via PLC indicator lights that the memory battery had died during the power-off time, and because of this, the program stored was lost. Note that this is an anomaly - the battery should have lasted much longer than the shutoff duration of ~2 weeks.
The SLC500 module was replaced with a spare, which contained a new battery. The old SLC500 module is still functioning but the battery has been removed (spares will be ordered) - this module is stored in a cabinet drawer in the control room. It will need to be re-programmed if re-installed as the program was lost. The original program titled TargetHallCrane.RSS was downloaded to the module. The crane was tested in local mode and determined to be functioning.
