TPC Very High Voltage Control Detector system progress Marco Boccioli
TPC VHV Supply • TPC electric field cage • 100 kV in the central electrode
The system • Power supply control • Ramp up, ramp down • Power monitoring • Monitoring of currents in field cage • Safety monitoring • Intervention in case of cooling or gas system failure
TPC VHV Supplier Heinzinger PNC 150000 • 150 kV • 0.001% ripple • Remotely controllable via RS-232 • Customized for TPC needs (limited ramp speed)
Power Supply Control 100 kV Ramping up • Short ramps followed by a check pause • After 50kV, longer check pauses (double) • Total ramping time: 21’ 20’’ (200 V/s)
V Rmoni R167 R1 R2 R3 R4 100 kV Central electrode Power monitoring • Resistor rod current monitored as voltage drop over the last element Rmoni • Failure in one rod resistor produces a voltage drop

The Implementation (1) Chosen configuration: C • PLC more reliable than a PC • Better timing for ramping • Components long-term availability • PLC can compute external interlocks • Interlock dependent reaction time • ELMB can be placed close to the experiment • Avoid of cable interference
The Implementation (2) • PLC: Schneider Electric Premium • Ethernet + 2 communication protocols • RS-232 interface PLC module • CAN bus interface PLC module
