1. 18/12/13VF 1 Status of WIENER crates

2. NA62 WIENER crates 2 prototypes crates purchased in 2011 : o FE type: power supply LHC 9U, +/-12V 46A, 48V 13.5A, +3.3V 100A, +5V 100A,+/- 5V 30A. The crate is Frascati. Perfectly working after a series of reprogramming 12V -> 7.0V -> 7.2V ->7.5 V. Used as a test crate for all LAV FE boards. o TEL62 type: power supply LHC 9U, 48V 27A, +3.3V 100A, +5V 100A, +/-5V 100A. The crate is in Rome. No problem reported. 8 crates delivered in 2012 (all FE type) o Reprogramming of +/- 12V to 7.0V, then to 7.2V and at the end to 7.5V At the beginning by NA62 At the end by Elcotron VF2 18/12/13

8. 3 reactions : VF8 18/12/13 3 participants: LAV FEAll the 26 FEE boards that are now sitting at CERN have been tested for all their functionalities inside the crate which is sitting in Frascati for at least 30 minutes without any problem. Alibi ? TEL62The SYSRESET part of the board is a replica of TELL1 design. We had so far a couple of boards in which SYSRESET receivers were found blown (protection diodes were not mounted), the last being the one which was plugged in the crate which developed problems on such line during the dry run. WIENERStandard WIENR power supplies used in NA62 crate. The only possible reason for the destroyed transistor is connection of this SYSRESET signal to some other voltage via electronics plugged into the backplane

10. VF10 18/12/13 SYSRESET investigation: capacitors on backplane There is a capacitor drawn in the schematic (C50), between SYSRESET and another voltage rail. We double-checked: This capacitor is not assembled, which is OK. (My thought was charging this 470uF capacitor could damage the transistor at the MUH).

11. VF11 18/12/13 SYSRESET investigation: capacitors on backplane From: Andreas Koester [mailto:sales@wiener-d.com] Sent: 29 November 2013 14:59 To: Vincent Bobillier The SYSRESET is the trace from left to right (see arrows left & right, "Bottom Side.jpg"), and no capacitors there. Below the SYSRESET there are the three smaller traces for +12V/0V/-12V, which do have capacitors. You can see there is no connection to the SYSRESET

12. Crate validation tool and procedure Rationales : o Functions provided by a crate are rather simple: Voltages/currents SYSRESET o The functions are static (under assumption of absence of an element failure) Procedure o Prepare a simple test tool (Riccardo – beginning of January) o Check all crates without boards VF12 18/12/13

14. What about TEL62 (personal proposals)? Create and keep record of all boards movement from one crate to another Systematically check all boards for unwanted contacts (with record of observation) – can Pisa group do it? Abandon SYSRESET circuit and use crate OFF/ON instead VF14 18/12/13

15. Other direction of investigation: electrical network VF 15 18/12/13 Figure 1 enregistrement des tensions simples des 3 phases (valeurs efficaces) Noir = phase 1-neutre Rouge = phase 2-neutre Bleu = phase 3-neutre 20/07 @ 11:50 (coupure générale CERN) 19/07 après-midi (8 événements) 23/07 @ 15:00 10/07 @ 13:30 et 13:40 A lexception des creux de tension signalés sur la Figure 1 et commentés ci- après au § 2.1.3, les 3 tensions simples sont en moyenne à 228 V, avec un maximum à 242 V pour V1 (phase R). Ces valeurs et nappellent aucun commentaire particulier et ne posent aucun problème. Paramètres denregistrement des tendances : Courants, tensions, Puissances, facteurs de puissance, harmoniques Durée : 14 jours Intervalle de moyennage/min/max : 10 minutes. Conclusion Les perturbations relevées (creux de tension dune durée de quelques périodes réseau, ou déformations oscillatoires de londe sinusoïdale, ou pics transitoires rapides) ont une cause externe au Canalis, à chercher sur la distribution amont (… plutôt des manœuvres exécutées par un automatisme de régulation) Un certain nombre de problèmes peuvent également être corrélés aux orages survenus sur le secteur de Genève durant la période de mesure.

16. What else? Connection of all 3 grounds: o From: Vincent Bobillier Sent: 13 November 2013 16:22 During the last phone conference (on October 23), what I learned already from Andreas Koester is that he recommends not to run the VME PSU with the different grounds not connected together. Andreas clearly said that these PSUs are not designed to operate in such a floating grounds setup. Thus it is recommended to interconnect these grounds via the backplane jumpers or via the modules inserted in the VME card- cage. Systematical test of the crates after new board insertion (the problem manifests itself only at crate re-start) Check of grounding issues (in particular in LAV racks) …. VF 16 18/12/13
