Entry  Friday, December 16, 2022, 16:39, Adam Newsome, Crane, Standard Operation, , , Crane powered off for holidays 

[edit 2023-01-03] The crane was powered back on this morning - there do not appear to be any faults and it seems that the crane was unaffected by the power outage.

The ISAC target hall overhead crane was powered off for the holidays. Note that this may result in the commonly observed PLC battery failure issue when the crane is powered back on in the new year.

The target hall crane has been powered down by Don today in preparation for the power shutdown over the Holidays.

Entry  Tuesday, February 16, 2021, 14:00, Adam Newsome, Crane, Development, , , Crane pendant upgrade PXL_20210216_183711834.jpg

The crane pendant for the main hoist was upgraded to a FLEX EX2 style pendant by Canco Cranes. The installation work was performed by Matt at Canco, supervised by Tom Kauss, David Wang, and Adam Newsome. Installation work was performed in two phases since the initial installation did not provide adequate range and an antenna issue needed to be resolved (I2021-01-14-1, and I2021-02-16-1).

Items installed include:

  • New pendant
  • New antennae
  • New receiver box, mounted on main crane control panel in the crane control room

The old receiver control box will be kept for some time in case there is a need to revert to the previous system for some reason.

The new system was tested by David Wang - including using the pendant at the far end of the target hall where range was previously an issue. Everything is reported to be in working condition. Remote mode is functioning as expected.

 When lifting up TM2 (20000lbs) this afternoon, TH crane has a strange noise on main hoist. The module was lift up less than 1 feet.when strange sound was noticed.  The module move was stopped right away,and module  was lowed back to SHC. The strange noise was confirmed later with SEG block six inches lifting up. Gordon crane technician will be here to tomorrow morning to investigate the problem.

Entry  Friday, July 13, 2012, 16:33, Bevan Moss, Crane, Repair, , , Crane has stopped working 

In the AM today David and I used the crane to raise the ground plate sheet metal into place. This afternoon when I attempted to return the crane to its usual place I discovered that the crane no longer worked. Upon further inspection it appears that the PLC has lost power. I will follow up on this Monday morning. The crane is not supporting any load at this point.

 Turns out I am just not very observant. David had turned the main break to the crane off as a result when he turned it back on this morning the crane magically started working again.

Entry  Tuesday, April 04, 2017, 14:39, David Wang, Crane, Standard Operation, , , Crane check main hoist on jogging with shielding plug lifted.  

Today, I checked TH crane main hoist  when shielding plug is installed into ITE pit. I did  some jogging actions on main hoist during the operation. Everything looks fine. No burning smell, no strange noise. An outside crane expert suggest that jogging is the worst working situation for crane. We have to use jogging actions during our crane operation. But, we could try to use less jogging when operate the crane.

Entry  Monday, December 21, 2020, 11:22, Adam Newsome, Crane, Standard Operation, , , Crane Shutdown for Power Outage 

The Target Hall Crane has been shut down in preparation for the power outage tomorrow (Dec 22). Power will be restored on Dec 23.

 

Dec 23 update: power has been restored. The crane appears to be in working condition as there is no fault indicator on the PLC.

Entry  Tuesday, December 19, 2017, 10:40, Don Jackson, Crane, Maintenance, , , Crane Power during winter break 

 The power to the crane and controls were turned off using the power switch in the Crane Control room.  The main disconnect switch in the target hall was not touched.

All site power will be off for a period of time during the Christmas break and this removes the crane from any issues when power is restored.

Entry  Monday, November 22, 2021, 12:44, Adam Newsome, Crane, Repair, , , Crane PLC Fault: 0004h Fault_code_when_connecting_Nov_22_2021.png

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.
