Dependable Design • Critical Function separate (fewer critical circuits) • Failure Modes Analysis (weaknesses designed out) • Xilinx CPLD used elsewhere (EPC / PIC) • 5V and redundant PSU (Highly Available) • Mature Electronics (Not risky!) • Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (key issue from start) • Internally Reviewed 2006 • External Review in late 2009 • = robust designreliability and rad tolerance seem linked! • -running ½ LHC system in SPS for nearly 4 years TE/MPE/MI - CERN Machine Interlocks
Motivations for the Tests The Beam Interlock Controller (x17 in LHC) -few in surface buildings -most in zones considered ‘negligible radiation’ -one in control room -VME Chassis can be moved to surface if ever there is a problem -any problem will result in safe failure by design VME is the basis = Not going to Test The User Interface (x130 in LHC) -Goes where the User System is “UJxx” We have to Test The User Interface Power Supply (x260 in LHC) -Goes where the User Interface is “UJxx” We have to Test TE/MPE/MI - CERN Machine Interlocks

Beam Interlocks - Conclusions • Critical Path of Beam Interlock System • - 8.3 x 10-10 Cross-Section for Glitches = use 1.6us GLITCH FILTER! • Good radiation tolerance • CPLD failed first at 150Gy – only for MONITORING • BUT once we got it back here – reprogrammed it and it worked! • Will monitor Glitch counters to indicate potential problems • Had plans for RAD HARD CIBU but on hold • Needs motivation, time and money! ($) • VME is weak? move BICs to ‘surface’ ($$$) • Critical Matrix CPLD is same as in CIBU (3.3V variant) • VME PSU – redundant! • Can research a RAD HARD BIC (not including VME) • Needs motivation, time and lots of money ($$$$$) TE/MPE/MI - CERN Machine Interlocks

PLC Systems Multitude ofPowering Interlock Systemsdeployed in CERN accelerators for protection of nc (WIC) and sc magnets (PIC) - Installed in LHC, SPS, TI2/TI8, CNGS, LEIR, Booster, Linac,… - based on a variety of industrial PLCs /IOs and additional electronics • Depending on the specific requirements, use of faster SIEMENS 319series or slower (safety) series 300 • By default, PLCs located in locations considered ‘safe’, generic PLC code • Fail safe design, for increased safety most designs incorporate a redundant path using different technology • Remote I/O modules collect interlock signals close to clients (magnets, power converters, QPS) and transmit via Profibus to PLC • For all components located in / close to radiation environments, dedicated radiation test campaigns conducted to validate TE/MPE/MI - CERN Machine Interlocks

PLC Systems – Radiation Test campaigns TCC2 TT60 MDSV 660106 Test Rack Many tests on IO and PSU in many places since 2002 In close collaboration with T. Wijnands Results shown at last RADWG workshop Additional Tests in CNGS this year Villingen Louvain TE/MPE/MI - CERN Machine Interlocks
Closing remarks … Rules of Thumb … • Use simple remote logic, keep the complicated electronics away from the radiation • Use Fail-Safe everywhere • safety systems = redundant signal paths, • perhaps less availability = but more dependability • Make equipment auto-restarting • adequate monitoring/diagnostic tools • Implement remote reset (soft vs hard) • dedicated radiation tests of critical paths • Record batch & lot numbers of critical path devices • Use past experience wherever possible = proven components • CNGS this year = some new tests “Better the devil you know” TE/MPE/MI - CERN Machine Interlocks

Closing remarks • -it was a LOT of effort to get the tests organised • -Thanks to Thijs Wijnands / Christophe Martin et al. for all the great work • -additional tests won’t need as much effort • afterLHC beam commissioning started – we could do some more! • If we feel it’s necessary: • Optical Transmission Board… (CIBO) • Fibre Extended User Interface (CIBFU/CIBFC) • VME Equipment (find the weaknesses?) • We should plan some beam time next year.
