Lesson Module A-18: Liquid Nitrogen Distribution System - pg 4

LNDS monitoring is typically done using remote control EPICS displays. To view the LNDS display, start at the APS Storage Ring Display (XFD-Display) gives access to LNDS. Click on the pink LNDS button beneath the LN Dis Sys heading, for the LN2 EPICS display. This will produce the below menu.

The "Main LNDS" screen provides a snapshot of the overall system, as shown here:

From the "Main LNDS" display, the separate module displays and controls can be accessed, by clicking on the brown "Mod A," "Mod B," "Mod C," or "Mod D" buttons. They can also be accessed from the storage ring LNDS menu. Here is the Module B display:

These displays can be used to remotely control the keep full valves, the local beamline drop valves, and the 3000 gallon dewar interconnect valves when needed.

At this time, please read Operating Procedures for the Liquid Nitrogen Distribution System (LNDS) (EPICS Control).

After reading the materials in this training module, please see the Floor Coordinator Training Custodian for a personalized tour of the LNDS, who will integrate these readings with the actual LNDS hardware.
