  3. LHC and TFC racks 3rd floor (D3) in UX85 counting houses CIBU

  4. LHC Clock and Orbit Reception • Control is based on PVSS and USB-VME bridge • Tested and validated Sophie’s RF2TTC kit • Control OK but we prefer • VME access according to standard • I2C access according to common practice with address/data register interface • Signal compatibility (clock and orbit over several hours to ODIN OK) • ODIN has “digital PLL” on orbit signal • Pit installation • TTC patch panel, crate and fibers (5+2) in place (not yet patched up to Sophie if I understand correctly) • Control PC and USB-VME bridge in place • Would like to receive external clock/orbit when we receive final RF2TTC if possible

  5. Beam Synchronous Timing Info • Used to receive: • GPS time inserted into data to have the exact time of the event • BST fibre connected directly to ODIN (TTCrx on board) • To correlate event with Conditions DB • Machine modes among other things although not the only way we get these • ODIN data bank: • For LHC shutdown periods we can set the time via the control interface and count internally or simply use Run Number + Orbit Number + BID (ID of event) as “time”. • Pit installation • Fan-out (TTCoc), patch panel and fibres (2) in place (patched up to BST master?)

  6. Beam Pickups and acquisition • BPTXs and signal cables in place with connectors (patch cables ordered, received?) • Analogue part is being tested in lab • Power supplies OK • Clock and orbit reception OK, programmable clock delays and distribution OK • Signal input stage OK • Attenuator not OK, has been by-passed and will be redesigned • 2(3)/4 stages of full-wave rectifier OK after hard work. One stage is still ringing • Ringing on integrator discharge circuit being investigated • Threshold comparator and zero-crossing OK

  7. Beam Interlock System • LHCb sources: • VELO motion system • Magnet • Background measurements • Locate CIBU in the rack of user system on UPS • Patch panel in D3B09 for three CIBUs • Cabling BIC-Patch Panel done • Installation of patch panel to be done • Cabling Patch Panel – CIBU to be done (VELO:20m, Magnet:40m, Background:~0m) • VELO is working on developing the PLC to drive the CIBU • Post-mortem timing…. • Will be tested and reviewed together with AB/CO • Magnet • Had two meetings with them (Nicola Bourgeois) • Fast background measurements, to be seen • Beam Condition Monitors (diamonds) via LHCb readout board TELL1, GPIO can be used via PLC to drive beam dump

  8. General Machine Timing • Use is only for “Safe Stable Beam” and “Movable Devices Allowed” flags • Online client is VELO beam interlock system • GMT cable (1 or 2?) installed up to LHC rack • GMT receiver crate in D3B09 on UPS • Installation of crate to be done (? See below) • VME Central Timing Receiver (CTRV) • Additional CTD Cable Driver for >4m (fan-out) • Cabling up to VELO motion system (20m) • Who controls and monitors? • VME controller on Technical network, directly managed by AB/CO • USB-VME bridge (same as for TTC), controlled by us and status published via DIP? • What has to be done to get it into a runnable state? • Save a crate and a controller and a lot of software overhead…

  9. Data Interchange Protocol • Information: • LHC status and performance • All what we have decided • Experiment status and performance • All what we have decided • Background measurement under discussion • DIP server/client on gateway machine • LHCb private network isolated from CERN network and technical network • Gateway at LHCB domain – CERN domain / LHCB domain – Technical network domain ? • Information published and subscribed with LHC experiment control system (PVSS)

  10. Conclusions • LHC – LHCb interfaces in good progress • Important points • When do we get clock and orbit • When can we expect tests with BST (just “emulation” mode) • GMT system control and monitoring and when do we get equipment/test • BIS reviews and in-situ tests (when and how)
