Day 69

Morning
Today was the first day without Tony. I started work on the plc setup for S9. Lyons got me a card, but it wasn't what I needed. I wired up Tony's compact logix with the PS-4 power supply and the Sola HD 24VDC supply. Greg stopped in to ask about ebw4. When he was trying to run, the voltage readout was always high. I should have known the problem right away, but it didn't don on me until later. We took a look at the gun before the Mecop lunch.

Afternoon
I went to check on Greg once I got back from a tour of Fab. He said that Jim found a broken "feedback resistor" upstairs. When I found Jim, he had found a busted shunt in the HV cage. High voltage reading means bad shunt. He won't have a replacement until early next week. I went to the stock room and got a 1769-OF2 analog output card. Once everything was wired together I read some documents on how to get setup with the compact logix.
