Description
Monitoring a display of alarms can suffice to quickly notify Operators of a fault condition. However, alarm management can be difficult. Diagnosing the root cause in complicated subsystems can be a lengthy task. Operations at the Collider-Accelerator Department (C-AD) of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) makes use of some automated analysis tools to collect and process data when certain faults are triggered, with results posted to electronic logbooks. Alarm management, Permit and Machine Protection Systems (MPS), and analysis tools will be presented here as used for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and its various beam sources.
