Implementierung einer Kühlwasserüberwachung an den Magnetspektrometern QCLAM/LINTOTT mit EPICS

Implementation of cooling water monitoring on the QCLAM/LINTOTT magnetic spectrometers with EPICS

Miniforschung

The spectrometric analysis of electrons from scattering experiments, such as those performed at S-DALINAC, require the operation of dipole magnets with currents in the range of (150-300) A. In order to ensure sufficient removal of the heat generated, the dipole magnets are cooled with water. If the dipole magnets are not operated, the cooling capacity must be reduced to prevent condensation from forming inside the power supplies, which would cause corrosion and short circuits. For this purpose, a permanent temperature monitoring of the cooling water and a monitoring of the switching state of the power supply shall be implemented, which ensure that the cooling power is automatically readjusted according to the switching state of the power supply. The monitoring system shall be built with industry standard data acquisition modules and integrated and commissioned into the existing EPICS control system of the accelerator.

Learning Objectives: Digitizing analog signals from a temperature sensor, network-based readout of a device server, setting up an EPICS input/output controller, creating a graphical interface using Control-System Studio.

Prerequisite: Interest in measurement, control and regulation
