Description
On reception of the hardware for each Warm Magnet Interlock
Controller (WIC) installation, the system will be constructed in the
lab. This will facilitate testing of the hardware and the correct
operation of the systems software and functionality. All input
signals will be stimulated and the expected response of the system
and the output for the respective power converter can then be
verified. Each system is then installed in the LHC tunnel at the
required location, and the connections made to each Magnet and Power
Converter.
The system is re-tested with the actual hardware connected, according
to previously defined test procedures. Additional tests of the field-
bus links and the deployed PLC components will complete the
commissioning procedures and the warm magnet interlock system is
declared operational and ready for the connection of power cables and
the following powering procedures.
