Synchrotron SOLEIL is the 3rd generation French synchrotron light source. It has been in operation since 2007 providing photon beams to 29 beamlines with a maximum intensity of 500 mA, 5000 hours a year.
Since a few years, we are facing at an increasing number of leaks on brazing joints of our LCW cooling circuits. This type of incident impacts deeply the beam availability and may be the...

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.

The target is a key part of the CSNS facility, which bears the average beam power of 100KW to 500KW. Beam position on the target must be strictly controlled to avoid damage to the target. The target imaging system can give the position and size on the target, but it is difficult to observe the signal in single shot mode and it become insensitive over time. In this paper, we propose to...

At present, the Loco correction of quadrupole has been a application in the operation of the BEPCII accelerator division. When exists the energy deviation in the collider, the beam correction is used to improve the luminosity. However, there is a lack of sextupole correction. Sextupole corrections has been used in KEKB and RHCIL. Correcting the sextupole can increase beam life, dynamic...

In order to improve the workflow of the people working on the construction of the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc), several web-based tools have been implemented. One of the most important ones is a custom fault tracking system, developed in-house. Previously, when a problem was found, workers had to fill an “event report” (a Word document) and upload it to the the document...

A high machine availability is an important performance indicator for modern synchrotron light sources. To reach this goal of stabilizing operations by minimizing the occurrence and duration of downtime events, reliable tools and methods for root-cause analysis and fault tracking play an important role. Here we describe how we do this business at PETRA III.

When designing PLC based safety or protection critical systems to be used in a dynamic design environment, flexibility of design is crucial for the operation and integrity of the system. A dynamic design environment is one where change can be constant, such as when the implementation stage of the project life cycle overlaps largely with the design stage due to complexity or time limitations,...

We aim to recover the machine faults as quickly as possible to provide a stable beam of good quality. But preventing the machine faults is more important. To do that, we had to make ‘warning signal’ about getting out of the stable range.
