Fall 2018 Upgrade of 40m Vacuum System
Goals
The primary purpose of this vent is to simply replace the VME system with an Acromag system and verify that we are at the same operating state as we are at now (so the pump and gauge hardware is NOT upgraded for now). This amounts to implementing Python logic for the INTERLOCKS and checking that they work. The zeroth level test can be done o the electronics bench, by just changing EPICS values for pressure indicators and seeing that the appropriate DAC/BIO channels are triggered. https://wiki-40m.ligo.caltech.edu/Vacuum_Interlocks?highlight=%28interlocks%29 |

- 10-30-2018SV I learned it today that Serial Port to Ethernet Conversion is not reliable so scrap this MKS quote. I did not find any gauges with Ethernet output. Now we have a clear direction. Reality today that gauges come with serial ports. The sites just upgraded to gauge BPG400 with serial ports.
