IGO: Trouble Shooting

November 2009

Before oper on check that system is in standby state and control is in TCC mode. Local mode when key Aa is horizontal, key Bb is in vertical position at P01 Remote mode On P01 key Bb is horizontal, key Aa is horizontal in IT rack S. No. 1 2. Nature of Problem/ Conditions Solution

If some failure occurs, we take control and enter in engg. mode. After resetting the fault, again goto the object by command goto st ra dec equinox Process state window: Ist column a) SPT fault; state-suspend Take control---services---PLC ctrl---PLC---fault reset (do this 2/3 times) b) WMS is always in TIME OUT state. MCP is always in SUSPEND state during daytime. During observations it should be in OK state. AZ/ALT/CAS columns Take Ctrl If any one of these or all go to 1. Computers---test utility---node---AZ/ALT/CAS failed/suspend state: node reboot. In process states wait for some time until CCT, CMS (Alt/Azm/Cas) go to warning/ok state. 2. Computers---test utility---s/w--- AZ/ALT/CAS restart. In process states wait for some time If Alt limit is reached and if it is not until corresponding column go standby state. accepting any commands from TCS 3. Go to Axis---Home axis for AZ/ALT/CAS. window (OCC), Use Pendant control to In process states system state should be park telescope. OK/warning. 4. Services---PLC ctrl---PLC---fault reset If this doesnt work then Services---PLC ctrl---power---set power--AZ/ALT/CAS power off--- power on---confirm--PLC ctrl---PLC---fault reset (do this 2/3 times)followed by steps 1-4 Take ctrl 1. Disable mirr support 2. Computers---tst utility---aux node restart---aux s/w restart 3. Home P/SF/AG/ACADS 4. Services---plcfault reset. If this doesnt work then Services---power---set power---PM cell off---PM cell on---followed by steps 1-4 Mirr support disable---PM cell off---PM cell on---aux mechn s/w restart---ACADS enable---home linear encoders---mirr support enable--- optics, home all

Take control---optics---primary---ACADS---ACADS positioning---sector control Change demand position (in steps of 300 m) such that linear position value & collimated linear position value become same---primary---mirror support---check measured load for all three colours (red, yellow, green), they should be nearly zero.

Auto guider/SM/AGD deployment/AG focus Failure

Exit auto guider window---auto off---process states--optics---auto guider---demand position----disable--enable---home---do the auto guider process again--auto on (may be) Take ctrl---PLC---start observations---reset axis---home 3 axes---home PM,SM,AG---s/w restart OR Process states---Ctrl---system request---full restart--confirm---close all windows on OCC machine (dual screen)---go to IT rackpress blue button (below screen) to the right of auto button--- start screen SCC ---some msgs will be displayed on it---open panel (on which Advantech & Dynalog are written)---when msgs on SCC stop scrolling (last msg inetd ), press orange reset button.---SCC will continue displaying msgs---wait till all 4 comps are booted---on screen MCC machine QNX photon login window will appear---give user id & password, (both maintain)--come to dual screen and open all windows---give oper on, Reset Axis Put key Aa in IT rack Switch to MCC--- Take Ctrl---control (on top)---set time override---check whether time override button is grey/orange---if grey, press override---press time override---confirm---then time override button turns orange---transfer ctrl to tcc (come out of control)--after this telescope should go to standby state On OCC:- take ctrl---plc---plc ctrl---power (all on)--confirm---all computers will start, if required you can start particular s/w, ex: Autoguider in the tst utility OR Give Oper on

Telescope state failed: On TCS log window error msg: Incorrect system state for this command In system details window, all time out.

After oper on TCS log showing submitting request to prepare for observations If you want to operate telescope in daytime

8A.

If at day time, you gave oper on without inserting key Aa in the IT rack, then telescope goes to eng mode, it will show oper on in progress, system will be in suspend state, nothing will happen in process states window. After about 30 min it will give oper on error. Go to P01fault resetinsert key aa in IT rack---go to OCC, take ctrl---fault reset---oper on IFOSC CCD is not working Follow instructions given in plastic sheet kept on the right side of Banana machine Exit CCU s/w---go to telescope floor---switch off CCD Conel power supply---go to control room---switch off the APLAB digital IC power supply kept in the left IT rack--remove usb cable(DAS) from Banana back side---go to telescope floor---switch on CCD power---go to control room--switch on APLAB---put usb (DAS) back in Banana machine---start CCU

Track dome off---go to enclosure room---switch off power supply of dome controller unit---switch it on--- home dome--track dome on OR Open dome motor panel, press red and then green button and then follow above procedure & RESTART Putty Track dome off/on Exit all 3 windows of startxwin----in ~X window type stop---start---control If this doesnt work then Reboot TCC and restart s/w. Power cycling the chiller unit Locate Yellow color switch on the front panel of chiller unit--turn it OFF---wait for some time--- Turn it ON Locate Isolator switch on the front side of (below-right) P01--switch it ON ---open P01 left doorlocate red-yellow switch it ON--- close door of P01---wait till display comes with logo of TTL---if emergency siren rings, do fault reset--when logo appears, login by password AAAA---It should show SPLC in active state

On P01 error msg Hydrostatics oil temperature high Dont repeat it many times Power Cycling P01

Please avoid Power cycling (OFF/ON) of P01, IT rack, and Chiller unit many times. It might cause damage. 13. CCD temp is high? Immediately take bias reading and check the counts. If the counts are ~ 2500 then temp is ok, if the counts are ~50006000, then temp is increasedfill the LN2 In fast mode CCD saturation is at 32000 counts, In normal mode it is at 65000 counts 14. 15. If you click eci screen exit by mistake Time in the Time server is not correct then TCS will be failed Cassegrain limit Azimuth limit On IT rack - Ctrl + Alt + Shft + Del to logout from MCC Login again---eci screen will come Off/on time server machine (switch is on backside), then in X~ window give command stop---close all TCS windows. Restart startxwin and give command start Give command unwrap rot or rot mount 0 Give command unwrap azimuth
