Storage Ring RF BPM Information

The alarm state of all the RF bpm's should be monitored. In medm it is possible by setting the variables display as an alarm condition. Normally the BPMs are not in alarm. However when the BPM is not in the feedback loop then the alarm is minor which is reflected in medm with yellow color. For non medm cases the .SEVR field can be monitored for the alarm conditions.

Liquid Nitrogen Distribution System Information

The liquid nitrogen system is directly controlled by PLC. It is also possible to bypass the plc and control the valves directly. In order to have remote access the control of the valves have to be set in Auto mode. The EPICS interface to the LNDS is through the PLC. We strongly urge the CATs to use the epics method of controlling the valves.
Please do not use the switches in the control cabinets to open/close the valves.
