Monday, November 15, 2021, 12:15, Adam Newsome, South Hot-Cell, Repair, , , Squeaking noise during turntable rotation - chain misalignment and improper tension
|
It was noted on Nov. 9 that a squeaking noise was present when the turntable was rotated CCW with a module present.
Upon inspection, it appears the issue could be due to drive chain misalignment and improper tension. Furthermore, it was noted that a shaft collar on one of the existing chain tensioners was broken (a replacement was ordered).
Repairs will be performed on Nov. 19 to resolve these issues by re-aligning the chain, and resetting the tensioners. The turntable will be tested. This e-log will be updated once the work is complete and the system is returned to a functioning state. See Work Permit I2021-11-09--3
Edit, Nov. 19: the aforementioned repairs were completed and the turntable has been tested and is operating correctly. No squeaking noise is present. It is suggested to increase the diameter of the two chain tensioner shafts (and thus modify related bearing and shaft collar components) in order to prevent bending of the shaft which was observed. This will be done in the near future. |

Friday, November 19, 2021, 12:48, Adam Newsome, South Hot-Cell, Development, , , Vertical motion limit switch installation
|
A rotary limit switch was installed, attached to the shaft adjacent to the drive motor for the vertical drive system. This limit switch is not yet wired to the control system and operational - this will be done at a future date and the e-log will be updated.
Relevant electrical drawings: IRH2083 to IRH2085

Monday, November 22, 2021, 12:44, Adam Newsome, Crane, Repair, , , Crane PLC Fault: 0004h
|
An issue was observed in which the target hall crane was not functioning: the N-E-S-W and up/down motions did not work, however the rotation motion did work. These symptoms were similar to what was observed in the past under https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/RH-ISAC/2039 and https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/RH-ISAC/1845
The crane control console was not powered (i.e. pressing the ON/OFF buttons when the selector switch was set to remote mode, even when safety conditions were met, did not enable/disable remote functionality). The power supplies were checked and everything appeared to be powered as would be expected, except for items which depended on the main contactor (O-K1) being energized. This contactor needs the PLC to be in an operational state, fault-free. The PLC was checked and the red fault light was flashing. The battery light was not on (i.e. battery was OK).
The program was re-downloaded to the PLC. During an attempt to go online with the PLC, error code 0004h appeared (see attached image for description). This is an unfamiliar error code - typically the aforementioned symptoms arise due to a battery failure and the program being lost. In this case it is uncertain at this time what the cause of this fault is. It will be monitored in the future to determine if it occurs again, and further investigation will be performed.
After re-downloading the program and placing the PLC in RUN mode, the crane was fully restored to its operating state - the main contactor was able to be energized once again. The crane was put into remote mode and a brief functionality test on the motion axes was performed: OK.

Thursday, February 10, 2022, 12:24, David Wang, ITW, Standard Operation, , , ITW HV test without mdoule.
|
Carla did the test. and reported the result as following: HV testing of ITW is complete. It was pretty well behaved up to 59.5kV, and sat at 59kV for 30mins with no sparks (that EPICS caught). There was some strange behaviour of the current between 51kV and 53kV - it was jumping by 20uA or more - but there didn't seem to be any voltage response, and it went away after 53kV (though it returned on the way back down). The test was done in Feb 02. |
Thursday, February 10, 2022, 12:42, David Wang, ITE, Standard Operation, , , ITE HV test woithout mdoule was done.
|
Carla did the test. That is what she wrote in Feb 04th: "I am done with the HV testing at ITE - the results were the same as at ITW. It stayed at 59kV for 30 mins with no issues. Trying to go above 59.5kV is probably possible but a bit more risky. ITE also has a band, from 54-56kV, where the current jumps around like crazy". |
