MPS – Vacuum System Interface Requirements.doc

MPS – Vacuum System Interface Requirements (WBS 1.4.2.4, WBS 1.5.5) The Vacuum system should turn off the beam under two conditions: (1) a beamline vacuum valve is closed due to poor vacuum, operator command, or system failure, and (2) if the vacuum conditions in a particular beam line sector are out of the acceptable running limits. The vacuum system inputs to the Machine Protection System (MPS) will use the Beam Permit Inputs. These inputs latch in the OFF state until an operator resets the condition. It might be desirable to have the vacuum inputs from the Cavities go into the Fast Protect System where the inputs are reset automatically the next pulse, or as soon as the input is satisfied. This would impact the grouping of signals in the super conducting linac. Vacuum system inputs to the MPS may be combined as long as the conditions causing the valve to close are logged and the devices that are combined do not cross a Machine running mode boundary. The Machine Protection System will mask out inputs from devices not required for a particular machine running mode. The machine running modes are as follows: Front End – All devices from the source to the end of the MEBT. Linac Dump - All devices in the, DTL, CCL, SRF, and HEBT to the Linac Dump, Devices after HEBT:DH1 in the HEBT are excluded. Injection Dump – All devices after and including HEBT:DH1 in the HEBT, devices in the injection straight section of the ring, and devices in the injection dump line. Ring – All devices in the ring except Injection straight section, Lambertson, and extraction kickers. Extraction Dump – Lambertons and extraction kickers, RTBT devices up to RTBT:DH13, and devices in the EDMP line. Target – All devices after RTBT:DH13. Figure 1. Beamline Modes Vacuum – MPS Fault Condition Requirements Fail Safe – Any inputs to the MPS should be fail safe, if the system providing the input goes out of service, is rebooted, etc. the MPS input should go into the fault state.
