Mr Gao-Yu HSIUNG (National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center)12/04/2005, 14:15SESSION 5In order to protect the vacuum system for the Taiwan Light Source (TLS), a vacuum interlock system has been developed. The status of all the vacuum devices, including the sector gate valves, ionization gauges, and the pumps, are monitored and hence the vacuum system can be protected as soon as a vacuum failure happened. In addition, an alarm system has been established to monitor the...Go to contribution page

Mr Hugo Shiers (Diamond Light source)12/04/2005, 14:30SESSION 5Diamond will utilise around 700 capture pumps, 350 total pressure gauge sets, 150 RGAs, and 100 pneumatic valves. The bulk of the equipment will be contained on the machine and beamlines. The control of this equipment will be done though EPICS, the chosen control system for Diamond. A discussion here will concentrate on the following points. · Interfacing the equipment into...Go to contribution page

Mr Knut Welzel (GSI)12/04/2005, 14:45SESSION 5In 2004 GSI changed the vacuum control- and interlock system from a software to a hardware based system. It's used to control and monitor around 55 pneumatic sector and five fast closing valves. The new control system, which is completely integrated in the GSI accelerator control system, uses total pressure values, determined by the current of ion pumps, and wide-range ion gauges. In...Go to contribution page

Dr Hsiao-Chaun Hseuh (Brookhaven National Laboratory)12/04/2005, 15:00SESSION 5The RHIC storage rings have approximately 1600 vacuum instruments, consisting vacuum gauges, sputter ion pumps, titanium sublimation pumps, residual gas analyzers, sector gate valves and turbopump stations. They are distributed in eight service buildings and inside the RHIC tunnel. This PLC based control system has performed well since 1997 to support the machine operation and the...Go to contribution page
