PREFACE
The Global Interlock System (GIS) Design represents a challenge in that its design is in parallel with (and
in some cases before) the designs of the systems it is meant to safeguard. Without completed designs and
hazard analyses, the safety functions that the GIS are to implement cannot be completely defined.
The design of the Global Interlock System has been separated into two main portions. There is the
hardware design, the GIS Architecture, which is the subject of SPEC-0112. The second portion is the
software design, the GIS Functional Description, which is handled in this document.
The reason for this separation is that the hardware design has been developed and is well understood. The
GIS Functional Design requires the completion of subsystem designs, hazard analyses, and risk
assessments.
In order to not delay development and construction of the GIS Architecture, the two portions have been
separated.
The hardware architecture has been designed with the premise of flexibility, expandability, and
programmability as basic considerations. This lends itself well to being adaptable to any safety function
that may need to be implemented.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
This document provides the basis of design for the architecture of the ATST Global Interlock System
(GIS). The design of the GIS is provide in two main sections, the architecture which describes the
hardware and interfaces of the system; and the functional design which covers design and implementation
of the safety-related control functions.
The diagrams and descriptions of safety function presented below are meant to convey the general flow of
the safety function and the interactions between the various subsystems. They are not intended to cover
the implementation details. For example, almost all safety inputs and outputs are redundant and usually
employ negative logic, meaning that for a single item such as “Door 501A locked” there are two signals
that indicate the door is not closed plus two more signals that indicate the solenoid controlling the door is
not unlocked. Including this level of detail would add complexity and not aid in understanding how the
various safety functions control safety.

2. CONTROL SOFTWARE
The GuardLogix controller will be programmed with RSLogix 5000 version 20. Use of major version 20
(or higher) is required to accommodate unicast messaging, Windows 7, L7 series ControlLogix
controllers. All hardware must be compatible with version 20. (See
http://support.rockwellautomation.com/ControlFlash/ for firmware requirements.)
The specific version is currently 20.03 which is incompatible with earlier minor revisions due to a change
to enhance security. All programs written in 20.01 will be converted to 20.03 during IT&C. The process
is generally automatic.
The GuardLogix controller runs both a standard task and a safety task. All functions of the GIS are
implemented in the safety task. If the controller is also used for subsystem control, all subsystem control
functions will be implemented in the standard task.
2.1 APPLICATION CODE
Application code routines will be developed using relay ladder logic language as it is the best choice for
machine interlocking that require complex logical operations and few high-level functions.
The safety task uses a subset of the standard ladder logic instruction set that is safety-certified instructions
plus application instructions that are also safety-certified. Only safety-certified instructions will be used in
the safety task. This does not preclude the use of add-on functions built using safety-certified instructions,
but such an instruction requires specific review and validation (per IEC 61508) before being used.
Section 4 lists the safety control requirements that will be implemented by the GIS. Each safety function
will be a separate program within the safety task running on the GuardLogix controller.
2.1.1 Revision Control
To aid in tracking and control of various revisions to the application code the Project Vault (Solidworks
Enterprise PDM) will be used. Because the code is being developed in a single developer environment the
need for a more advanced and robust solution is not necessary and would add complexity with little value.
Also the ladder logic is stored in proprietary binary format that does not lend itself well to the use of
standard versioning control software.
The Project Vault allows for the control of changes and edits in a single user environment as well as the
ability to roll back changes if needed. It is centrally located and can be accessed remotely as needed.
The Project Vault will be used continuously from development into operations.
2.2 LADDER LOGIC EXAMPLE
Inputs from each LIC are consumed, and evaluated; subsequent outputs are produced to other LICs as
necessary.
GIS Functional Design
SPEC-0140, Draft B1 Page 4 of 33
Figure 2-1 shows a short example of the ladder logic of the safety task that would be used with a typical
emergency stop circuit. The program uses application instructions that not only monitor the condition of
the emergency stop switch, but compares the two channels for consistency and also monitors the status of
the remote I/O module to detect a hardware failure. In the event of a hardware failure, the system defaults
to a safe state.
The program combines inputs from local emergency stop switches with a tag received from the GIC
which indicates the status of the Emergency Stop System. If both are in the active safe state then two
outputs are asserted that energize the drive and enable the pulse output of the drive.
When an emergency stop switch is pushed (or a hardware fault is detected), the two outputs are removed.
First the output to the drive pulse suppression is removed and 200mS later (configurable) the power is
removed from the drive’s power contactor removing all hazardous energy. If either feedback from the
outputs does not indicate that the drive was properly shutdown a fault will be detected that can warn
personnel that a potential hazard still exists.

3. GIS OPERATION
3.1 STATUS MONITORING AND FAULT HANDLING
In addition to the various safety functions implemented by the GIS, the GIS must also recognize and react
to any fault that is detected.
The distributed I/O modules perform self-diagnostics on power-up and periodically during operation. In
addition these modules also monitor I/O circuit health.
3.2 EMBEDDED CONTROL OPERATION
Each LIC is the safety controller for one or more subsystems. The application program for each LIC
functions as an independent system. The safety controller will be capable of startup and control of its
safety functions regardless of connectivity to the GIC or other outside service.
3.3 CHANGE OF NETWORK STATUS
Failure of the network does not result in a loss of safety function. Failure of the network which causes
loss of communications with distributed I/O or a remote controller causes each such component of the
GIS that relies on such communications to default to a safe state.
Restoration of the network function does not automatically restore operation of the GIS without
intervention from the operator.
3.4 OPERATION FOLLOWING A REBOOTING OR RESTARTING
Rebooting or restarting causes the portion of the GIS that was rebooted or restarted to enter a safe state.
Rebooting or restarting does not result in a loss of safety function.

4. SAFETY-RELATED CONTROL FUNCTIONS
This section lists and summarizes the current list of planned safety functions.
Safety-related control functions (SRCFs) are the result of a detailed hazard analysis of the equipment
under control. After a hazard has been identified that will be mitigated by functional safety, the
specification for each safety-related control function will be developed. Each SRCF will comprise of the
functional requirements and the safety integrity requirements.
The functional requirements will detail the description of the SRCF, the conditions in which the SRCF
shall be active or disabled, the required responses to trips and faults, the timing and priority of responses
of the SRCF.
The safety integrity requirement will detail the necessary risk reduction for each SRCF.
It is imperative that the subsystem’s hazard analysis be detailed, thorough, and complete. These hazard
analyses are used to develop the various safety functions. If a hazard analysis does not identify a hazard
that hazard will not be safeguarded, presenting a serious potential risk to personnel and infrastructure.
It is foreseen that this list will need to be expanded and altered as additional hazards are identified during
design, construction, integration, and testing. Additional hazard will require additional safety functions to
be developed and likely will result in added hardware to detect the hazard and/or implement the
safeguard.
4.1 EXAMPLE OF DEVELOPMENT OF SAFETY-RELATED CONTROL FUNCTIONS
To look at how the various Safety-Related Control Functions have been developed, we will follow an
example of the how the related functions of the sun sensor we developed.
Early in the project it was recognized that the concentrated sunlight near the focus could provide a
thermal hazard to personnel and equipment. The Hazard Analysis Team then met to analyze the hazards
created.
The first was to define the extent of the hazard. Due to the fast focus of the telescope design the
concentrated sunlight is limited to a relatively small area near the prime focus. For example the rapidly
diverging beam would spread its energy over a fairly large area by the time the beam reaches the interior
walls of the enclosure. While potentially a problem for thermal effects of seeing it does not represent a
safety hazard.
The hazard to personnel is relatively easy to mitigate as it would require personnel to be near the prime
focus which is inherently difficult in normal operations.
The hazard is mostly to the equipment itself. Due to its very nature the heat stop is designed to withstand
this energy (given normal operation of the heat stop—failure of the heatstop thermal control has its own
safety functions). This leaves damage to equipment near the heatstop. There are various cables and pipes
in this area that could potentially be damaged/destroyed by sufficiently concentrated energy.
The solution was to design and implement a sun sensor that would determine if the sun was within 1.5
solar radii (R☉) of on-axis pointing. If the sun is within 1.5 R☉) the excess energy will be absorbed by the
heatstop as designed. (See 4.3.3 On-Sun Pointing)
However, it was clarified that the telescope also needed to be able to view objects at elongations of
greater than 1.5 R☉. This leaves a complex problem of understanding where excess energy may focus
depending on the relative angles of the sun, telescope, and entrance aperture, something that does not lend
itself well to robust safety function.
GIS Functional Design
SPEC-0140, Draft B1 Page 7 of 33
The decision was made to restrict observations to elongations greater than 25° as the geometry is such
that no sunlight should strike the primary mirror if the entrance aperture is more than 25° from the
telescope’s line-of-sight.
Also if the sun is below the horizon it is also considered safe.
The last two items revealed the need to introduce an additional safety function (see 4.3.2 Off Sun
Pointing) to calculate the sun’s position and determine if the sun is in a safe position relative to the
telescope.
4.2 REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFETY FUNCTIONS
4.2.1 Control Reliability
In order to ensure a safety system safety functions require that hardware needed in each safety function
have a fault tolerance of at least 1 (i.e. loss of any single component will not cause the loss of the safety
function). Secondly, diagnostics will be included to detect a failure of any component that could cause a
loss of a safety function at or before the next demand on that component.
4.2.2 Response Time
Each safety function must have a response time of less than 200 milliseconds as measured from the time
an input changes until the output changes to a safe state. The safety function must either respond to an
input change or default to the safe state within that time. The safety function may not necessarily
complete its action by that time but must initiate a change to the safe state
The safety function must complete any action required to reach a safe state before any hazard can cause
damage.
For example the M1 Mirror Cover must begin closing with 200 milliseconds of an over temperature fault
but may take as long as 15 seconds to completely close. The upper limit is imposed by the duration of the
heat stop shutter ability to withstand damage.
4.3 GLOBAL SAFETY FUNCTIONS
There are several safety functions that span multiple systems. These safety functions are controlled by the
Global Interlock Controller and are referred to as Global Safety Functions.
4.3.1 Emergency Stop Safety Function

All subsystems’ emergency stop devices are combined in logic at the GIC, so that activating any
emergency stop device will cause all GIS-connected subsystems to go to their safe state. In most cases
they will perform an immediate stop (category 0 or 1 stop as determined by subsystem analysis). The
exception is that M1 Mirror Cover and Enclosure Entrance Aperture will close (their safe state) in a
predetermined sequence.

4.3.2 Off Sun Pointing
The design of the telescope is such that during normal operation most of the reflected solar energy from
the M1 is directed into the heat stop. There are dangers associated with the reflected solar energy near the
prime focus. It is therefore desirable to restrict where this reflected energy may fall. The light path is
blocked by redundantly using the Aperture Cover and the M1 Cover, either of which would be effective
but both are used to avoid a potential single point failure.
Obviously, when the Sun is below the horizon the telescope should be able to point safely at any location
in the sky. To determine the location of the Sun relative to horizon, a relatively simple ephemeris
calculation is needed. This calculation relies on two different time sources (NTP and PTP). These two
sources are compared for agreement. If they agree and the Sun is below the horizon, the light path may be
opened.
Additionally, when the Sun is more than 25° away from where the telescope is pointing no sunlight will
reach the primary mirror, thus there is no reflected solar radiation to be concerned with. In this case the
light path may also be opened.

4.3.3 On-Sun Pointing
Related to the off Sun pointing are on-axis solar observations. When the sun is within 1.5 solar radii (R☉),
the reflected solar energy is trapped in the heat stop. This is the normal operating condition of the
telescope. Due to the accuracy required to ensure that the reflected energy is contained within the heat
stop, the above ephemeris calculation is unlikely to be sufficiently accurate.
In this case, a small sun position sensor will be required. This sensor is essentially a small pin-hole
camera that uses a two-dimensional position sensitive device (PSD) to determine if the sun is on-axis.

It should be noted that the Safety Shutter in front of the heat stop is not used in this safety function. If the
telescope is sufficiently off-axis, the Safety Shutter would not block the light path. If the telescope is on-
axis, the heat stop should absorb the solar energy as designed. Failure of the heat stop is covered
elsewhere.

If the M1 cover is closed or no sunlight striking the M1 there is no reflected solar energy. Typical
operation will require that in order to acquire the sun, the telescope points at the sun with the M1 cover
closed. Once the sun sensor described in 4.3.3 detects the sun is within 1.5R☉ the M1 cover is permitted
to open and the aperture is permitted to stay open.

Similar to the Entrance Aperture below, the M1 cover may open when there is no sunlight on the mirror.
Additionally if the telescope is pointed directly at the sun and the safety shutter is open and the heat stop
is not in an over-temperature condition the M1 Cover may open.
4.3.6 Hazardous Access
Because of the many large moving elements of the facility there exist numerous hazards associated with
personnel exposed to these mechanisms. In order to limit exposure a trapped key plan will be
implemented to inhibit access to hazardous areas during motion. See SPEC-0133 Hazardous Zones Fully
Automated Control Access for details.
Because of the design of the GIS being distributed the safety functions that implement hazardous access
control bridge the GIC and LICs. The Facility LIC typically handles the input from the trapped keys and
controls the locking of various doors and access points. The GIC controls the various permissive signals
to individual LICs to inhibit hazardous motion.

anywhere in the system. After the operator has verified that the cause of the trip or fault has been rectified
the HMI will allow password-controlled access to reset the system and restore operation.
5.4 ENGINEERING INTERFACE
The HMI will be capable of displaying engineering screens that detail hardware status and configuration.
These screens will be separate from the user screens and will require password-controlled access.
5.5 LOGGING
The HMI also provides logging of trips and faults that occur within the system. The logs will be time-
stamped to allow for correlation of GIS events with activities within the facility.
