7

Electronic design data Electronic design is done in-house with the schematics PCB routing with exterior companies or TE-MPE-EM Manufacturing produced outside or by TE-MPE-EM + assembly AED/EDA numbering system for card versioning If done by TE-MPE-EM then all documentation goes into EDMS

under the EDA numbering scheme If done by EC section then documentation is stored in EDMS and

numbered with AED marking Sometimes these are mirrored ! (WE wish to keep OUR ‘AED’

numbering system) Each working manufacturing portfolio contains:

Schematic, layout, gerber files, mechanical drawings, drillings file and serigraphy, BOM’s, test procedures, photo’s...


8

Equipment coding of modules


Electronic cards labeling with bar code system MTF (Manufacturing and Test Folder) + AED/EDA number + Tested label

The complete MTF system (judged not best suited for our equipment), with LIMITATIONS but...on-going

9

Programmable Logic Controllers

EC has a vast array of industrial automation in its controls park

PLC distributed systems are based around H/W design with associated software

Some chassis design requires custom made electronics coupled to PLC’s H/W

Each PLC chassis is created with technical drawing, cabling scheme, connector scheme (See_electrical) and software code (Step7)

In recent years industrial PXi systems (N.I) are becoming an additional resource to our supervisory control systems


10

Power elements/HV elements Many semi-conductor switches type (IGBT,

GTO, Behlke) Trigger systems in the medium power range HV discrete components HV generators (EC/FPS/SE) Electro Mechanical elements


11

Power distribution systems EC responsible for the design of system power

distribution These are documented systems and undergo

approval from HSE unit with outside companies such a DEKRA who come along for conformity testing and place approval seals on the systems. This includes Electrical circuit and Electrical protection checks.

We are currently looking at how to produce these elements on the outside using rigorous procedures and guidelines compatible with expected industry standards.


12

Software maintainability PLC codes (Ladder, SCL, STL, Graph7) + WinCC

(scada)

Stored onto DFS volume, currently looking at other systems for software maintainability (Autosave product) FPGA ‘s codes (mainly VHDL, sim files, chipscope,

etc....)/SVN C++, Java, other/SVN Hardware drivers/SVN PXI systems software/SVN Fesa equipment classes/SVN


13

Preventive maintenance Annual recalibration Annual rotation of DCPS Capacitor exchange (ex: Heater crates) System consolidation Timing system Firmware upgrades Interlock checks Software release Piquet weekly inspections of equipment where possible (ex: oil leaks, HV cable

degradation, flasher not functioning, etc...)

And many more!

Preventive maintenance is difficult in areas with difficult access, no clear evaluation of possible cyclic maintenance, lack of data and analysis for overall systems.

Also MTBF and MTTR are unknown quantities at the present (only LBDS LHC has undergone reliability studies)


14

Procedures Magnet conditioning procedures (SPS

MKE4 & 6, MKP, MKD and LHC MKI) ‘Consignation’ procedures Electronic module installation procedures LHC LBDS generator testing + energy scan Test procedures for electronics card Procedures for loading BETS energy tables

et al ...

Procedures – movies ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwugbEjSxAI

The requirements are:

‘To create a multimedia support that shows and demonstrate some typical intervention carried during piquet time and outside of piquet time on TE/ABT equipment (Kickers & Septa)





16

Procedures – JIRA“ Plan, track, work – smarter and faster ”

ABT-EC has started to use JIRA as an accomplished work and planning management tool for the following actions:


Creating and tracking FSU jobs

Creating and tracking Hardware production jobs

Notification of repairs

Notification of troubleshooting

Notification of general maintenance of equipment related issues

Intervention tracking

17

Interventions/Repairs Daytime requires -> Experts Outside working hours -> Piquet/Experts

These events can last 5mins (ex: Remote solving) up to extreme cases such as 48 hours or more (intervention in-situ involving longsome trouble shooting, special equipment handling, heavy maneuvering. Lots of specialists, etc.,,,)

And occasionally a new spare part will be required !!!

19

Surface interventions vs tunnel interventions

Surface equipment interventions Items and spares are located in-situ (storage

cupboards, racks, Faraday cages) Missing items have to be fetched from 865 in EC

section AND other storage areas

Tunnel equipment interventions Items are invariably located in 865 or other storage

areas, no spares in UA’s for LHC kicker equipment (except certain power elements)


20

Intervention examples LHC LBDS fault: The ratio between DVs1 [v] and DVs2 [v] was out of

specification. A possible GTO failure inside the GTO stack. Decision taken to mask the interlock due to built in redundancy. Clearly a procedural intervention requiring permission from various sources and ultimately the chief LHC coordinator on that day

SPS MKE4 heater problem: after analysis of a thyratron related problem a decision was taken to replace the suspected damaged heater module This required locating a spare module, and the removal of the faulty module for future repairs

SPS MKD thyratron switch replacement: heavy maneuvering, specialists (not an evident one man job). This operation is a complex one, requiring transport, crane maneuvering, specialists, potentially dangerous and costly, re-conditioning of system (procedure) and follow up of faulty thyratron switch

‘The technical diversity of the systems under EC responsibility presents a challenge and requires high levels of expertise from individuals. All members of the team cannot always intervene on equal competence levels’


21

Written follow up of intervention Usually carried out in the logbook system, operation and EC

logbook Discussed at weekly ‘Piquet’ meetings Actions follow-up are required


22

Storage of spare equipment PLC spare parts critical stock (en-ice-plc, b.864) Electronic modules/cards (b.865) Power supplies (b.865) + building HV elements spares (b.865, b.867, in-situ) Power distribution components (b.865) Spares in-situ for surface controls (BA’s) (Electronic

modules, power electronics, thyratron switches) Spare part lists (Excel file) with components and

spare location for each installation



24

Storage of spares at 865


865 2-A50

25

Documentation types Electronic designs schematics, layouts, PCB

masks, drilling drawings, mechanical features Functional specifications and Engineering

specifications, internal notes, papers Minutes of meetings, summaries Mechanical designs System layouts, timing schemes, cabling

schemes, procedures, stock lists Many more .... !


26

Documentation Storage


Much of previous list still stored on DFS volume (should be avoided), some in file holders/no electronic versions.

Ongoing guidelines still to be finalised for the EDMS framework.

27

Pre-installation quality control Electronic diagrams reviewed by third party Surface and visual checks for H/W Weekly rounds on surface points of

equipment controls Visual inspection of produced PCB’s Electronic hardware test procedures


28

Recapitulative summaryHardware Software

Maintenance OK OK

Procedures OK OK

Storage OK GOOD

Documentation GOOD GOOD

Quality check OK OK

Module tracking POOR n.a

Returned hardware for repairs

OK n.a


POOR, OK, GOOD, EXCELLENT

29

To take away today Maintenance and methods is a vast complex

subject ! There are no all ‘encompassing’ solution This leaves room for bigger ideas and

concepts What is OK today will not suffice in the future There are maintenance methods systems,

they are long and tedious (massive legacy of data entry) to put in place and require resources
