Abstract

This technical note is being generated to provide a general outline to be followed for developing a Design Requirements Document (DRD) for the LIGO Detector Group. The following pages provide the outline, including section/paragraph numbering and headings, along with a brief explanation (and some examples) of what is to go into each paragraph.

The basis for the following outline is a combination of the IEEE guide for software requirement documentation and the MIL-STD-490A guide to requirement specification. Sections 1 and 2 particularly follow the IEEE standard. The remaining sections are more in line with the MIL-STD format, with some extras or variations that I’ve found useful in the past.

This document is a MicroSoft Word template. All instructions (guidelines and examples) in this document are in normal text, and should be deleted when an individual DRD is written. This document also shows “boilerplate” text, which should appear in every LIGO detector DRD. This boilerplate appears in this document as italic text and should not be removed from individual DRDs.

This section (Abstract) was purposely titled without using the LIGO tech document template ‘Header’ paragraph format, such that the Table of Contents of this document directly reflects the outline for a DRD.

1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

State the purpose of this document and intended audience.

1.2 Scope

Identify the item to be produced by name, such as Alignment Sensing and Control.

Explain what the item will and, if necessary, will not do. An example of the latter, from the CDS document is: CDS specifically does not provide: 1) Personnel safety system 2) Facilities Control System 3) etc. The point is to emphasize to reviewers what the system will not do where there may be some doubt or uncertainty.

Describe the objectives, goals of the item development.

1.3 Definitions

Define all terms used in the document as necessary to interpret its contents. For example, a CDS specification may make use of terminology, such as “real-time software”, which is subject to interpretation. This section should specifically define what “real-time software” means in the context of this document.

NOTE: This should include all standard names used in interface discussions/drawings.

1.4 Acronyms

List all acronyms and abbreviations used in the document.

1.5 Applicable Documents

List all documents referenced. Include only those expressly mentioned within this document.

1.5.1 LIGO Documents

1.5.2 Non-LIGO Documents

2 General descriptionThis section (Section 2) should describe the general factors that affect the product and its requirements. This section does not state specific requirements; it only makes those requirements easier to understand.

2.1 Specification Tree

This document is part of an overall LIGO detector requirement specification tree. This particular document is highlighted in the following figure.

2.2 Product Perspective

This section should show how this specified item relates to the rest of a larger system. For instance, a general block diagram would go here which shows the item to be developed and its relationship to the larger system.

Figure 1 Block Diagram

2.3 Product Functions

This section should provide a summary of the functions that the specified item will perform. This should just be general statements, not the detail which will go into the requirements section (Section 3).

2.4 General Constraints

This section should give a general description of any other items that will limit the designer’s options, such as general policies, design standards, interfaces, etc. This subsection should not be used to impose specific requirements or specific design constraints on the solution. This subsection

Advanced LIGO LIGO-T00xxxx-xx-D

should provide the reasons why certain specific requirements or design constraints are later specified as part of Section 3. A CDS example for the CDS PSL document might be:

The overall CDS system is being developed using VME based systems as the standard interface. Therefore, all I/O modules being developed for the PSL will be constrained to this format.

Another general example might be:

LIGO must operate continuously, therefore this subsystem must be designed with high reliability and low mean time to repair. (Note that this is a general statement, and the MTBF and MTTR will be exactly specified in Section 3).

2.5 Assumptions and Dependencies

This section should list factors that affect the requirements i.e. certain assumptions have been made in the writing of the requirements, and, if these change, then the requirements will have to be changed. For example, it is assumed that green light wavelengths will be used as the basis for optics requirements. If this is changed to infrared, then the requirements which follow will need to change.

3 RequirementsThis section contains the specific requirements of the product to be developed. This is the most important part of the document. It must be:

Unambiguous: every requirement listed has only one interpretation

Complete: Inclusion of all significant requirements

Verifiable: A requirement is verifiable if and only if there exists some finite cost-effective process whereby the final product can be checked/tested to meet the requirement. If no method can be devised to determine if the product meets a particular requirement, either (1) the requirement should be removed, or (2) a point in the development cycle should be identified at which the requirement can be put into a verifiable form.

Consistent: No two requirements should conflict with each other.

Modifiable: The structure and style should be such that any necessary changes can be made easily, completely, and consistently.

Traceable: Backward (references to source of requirements, such as a higher level specification, design, or standards) and Forward (unique numbering of requirements such that they can be identified/referenced in design and test documentation).

Usable during operations and maintenance: often items are modified during commissioning and maintenance periods. The requirements should specifically call out critical areas (such as failure of this component to meet this requirement can cause severe injury), and other such items, such that this fact s not lost to maintenance personnel.

3.1 Introduction

Requirements flow down tree from Detector DRD should be included in this section.

3.2 Characteristics

3.2.1 Performance Characteristics

This section should contain all functional and performance characteristics that the product must fulfill i.e. what is expected of the product.

3.2.2 Physical Characteristics

This area contains any physical requirements or constraints on the product: dimensional and weight limitations, acceptable materials or properties of the materials, durability factors, transportation and storage requirements, etc.

3.2.3 Interface Definitions

Specify all interfaces to other systems/subsystems/components and the characteristics (electrical/mechanical/optical) of those interfaces. Note that these are all requirements placed on the item specified, NOT requirements this item places on other systems.

3.2.3.1.1 Mechanical Interfaces

3.2.3.1.2 Electrical Interfaces

3.2.3.1.3 Optical Interfaces

3.2.4 Reliability

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Availability

3.2.5 Maintainability

Mean Time To Repair (MTTR); Qualitative requirements for accessibility, modular construction, test points, etc.

3.2.6 Environmental Conditions

Environments that the equipment is expected to experience in shipment, storage, service or use. Subparagraphs should include, as necessary, climate, shock, vibration, noise, etc.

3.2.6.1 Natural Environment

3.2.6.1.1 Temperature and Humidity

Example:

Table 1 Environmental Performace Characteristics

Operating Non-operating (storage) Transport

+0 C to +50 C, 0–90 % RH 40 C to +70 C, 0–90 % RH 40 C to +70 C, 0–90 % RH

3.2.6.1.2 Atmospheric Pressure

3.2.6.1.3 Seismic Disturbance

The following example for the SEI subsystem is illustrative:

Restraint against seismically induced large motion is required.

The system shall be designed to resist the static equivalent lateral forces defined in the Uniform Building Code (UBC), 1994 edition, for a seismic zone factor Z = 0.15 (i.e. zone 2B, Hanford) and

9

Page 10: Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatorysmith/LIGO II/DRD_templat…  · Web viewLIGO Laboratory / LIGO Scientific Collaboration. LIGO-T00xxxx-xx-D ADVANCED LIGO mm/dd/yy

Advanced LIGO LIGO-T00xxxx-xx-D

a structure importance factor I = 1. The support structure shall resist the seismic loads without damage. The seismic stack shall sustain the base shear motion of the support structure without collapse or release of any of the stack layers. At a minimum, failure of the actuators under these loads should not cause failure of the bellows or cause the seismic stack to “drop”; ideally the actuators would survive these loads with no damage.

As an alternative to this static equivalent load, an acceleration design spectrum for use in dynamic analysis could be used.

Interpretation of the requirement: If there is no damping or plastic deformation to absorb the seismic loading (Rw = 1), and the SEI first frequency is between 2.5 Hz and 10 Hz (i.e. at the peak), then the base shear,

Vb = (Z I C/Rw) W = (0.15 (1) 2.75/1) W = 0.4 W

or the SEI must sustain a 0.4 g lateral load. If, as in the case of the Corner Station building, Rw = 6, then, then SEI must sustain a 0.1 g lateral load.

3.2.6.2 Induced Environment

These are environmental conditions induced by equipment. The following subparagraphs list some possible categories. Remember to list the requirements both in terms of:

What the item to be designed must accept from its surroundings

What environment the item to be designed is allowed to generate

3.2.6.2.1 Electromagnetic Radiation

Electrical equipment associated with the subsystem shall meet the EMI and EMC requirements of VDE 0871 Class A or equivalent. The subsystem shall also comply with the LIGO EMI Control Plan and Procedures (LIGO-E960036).

3.2.6.2.2 Acoustic

Equipment shall be designed to produce the lowest levels of acoustic noise as possible and practical. As a minimum, equipment shall not produce acoustic noise levels greater than specified in Derivation of CDS Rack Acoustic Noise Specifications, LIGO-T960083.

3.2.6.2.3 Mechanical Vibration

Mechanical vibration from the subsystem shall not increase the vibration amplitude of the facility floor within 1 m of any other vacuum chambers and equipment tables by more than 1 dB at any frequency between 0.1 Hz and 10 kHz. Limited narrowband exemptions may be permitted subject to LIGO review and approval.

3.2.7 Transportability

All items shall be transportable by commercial carrier without degradation in performance. As necessary, provisions shall be made for measuring and controlling environmental conditions (temperature and accelerations) during transport and handling. Special shipping containers, shipping and handling mechanical restraints, and shock isolation shall be utilized to prevent damage. All containers shall be movable for forklift. All items over 100 lbs. which must be moved into place within LIGO buildings shall have appropriate lifting eyes and mechanical strength to be lifted by cranes.

3.3 Design and Construction

All fabricated metal components exposed to vacuum shall be made from stainless steel, copper, or aluminum. Other metals are subject to LIGO approval. Prebaked viton (or fluorel) may be used subject to LIGO approval. All materials used inside the vacuum chamber must comply with LIGO Vacuum Compatibility, Cleaning Methods and Procedures (LIGO-E960022-00-D).

The only lubricating films permitted within the vacuum are dry platings of vacuum compatible materials such as silver and gold.

Advanced LIGO LIGO-T00xxxx-xx-D

3.3.1.3 Processes

2.1.1.1.1 Welding

Before welding, the surfaces should be cleaned (but baking is not necessary at this stage) according to the UHV cleaning procedure(s). All welding exposed to vacuum shall be done by the tungsten-arc-inert-gas (TIG) process. Welding techniques for components operated in vacuum shall deviate from the ASME Code in accordance with the best ultra high vacuum practice to eliminate any “virtual leaks” in welds; i. e. all vacuum welds shall be continuous wherever possible to eliminate trapped volumes. All weld procedures for components operated in vacuum shall include steps to avoid contamination of the heat affected zone with air, hydrogen or water, by use of an inert purge gas that floods all sides of heated portions.

The welds should not be subsequently ground (in order to avoid embedding particles from the grinding wheel).

2.1.1.1.2 Cleaning

All materials used inside the vacuum chambers must be cleaned in accordance with Specification Guidance for Seismic Component Cleaning, Baking, and Shipping Preparation (LIGO-L970061-00-D). To facilitate final cleaning procedures, parts should be cleaned after any processes that result in visible contamination from dust, sand or hydrocarbon films.

Materials shall be joined in such a way as to facilitate cleaning and vacuum preparation procedures; i. e. internal volumes shall be provided with adequate openings to allow for wetting, agitation and draining of cleaning fluids and for subsequent drying.

2.1.1.2 Component Naming

All components shall be identified using the LIGO Naming Convention (LIGO-E950111-A-E). This shall include identification (part or drawing number, revision number, serial number) physically stamped on all components, in all drawings and in all related documentation.

3.3.2 Workmanship

Standard of workmanship desired, uniformity, freedom from defects and general appearance of the finished product.

3.3.3 Interchangeability

Specify the level at which components shall be interchangeable or replaceable.

3.3.4 Safety

Advanced LIGO LIGO-T00xxxx-xx-D

Specify any special or unique requirements, e.g., constraints on allocation of functions to personnel, and communications and personnel/equipment interactions. Also include any specified areas, stations, or equipment that require concentrated human engineering attention due to the sensitivity of the operation, i.e. those areas where the effects of human error would be particularly serious.

Example: Seismically isolated platforms or points must accommodate addition, removal and adjustment of equipment with a minimum of force or torque applied to the platforms. This requires that adequate space be provided surrounding the optics platform for an individual to move into proper position for the work intended. Equipment mounted to the optics platform should be provided with fasteners that can accommodate these force/torque requirements.

2.2 Assembly and Maintenance

Example:

Assembly fixtures and installation/replacement procedures shall be developed in conjunction with the SEI hardware design. These shall include (but not be limited to) fixtures and procedures for:

• SEI component insertion and assembly into the vacuum chambers without load support from the chambers

For all components which are intended for exposure in the vacuum system, the shipping preparation shall include double bagging with Ameristat 1.5TM plastic film (heat sealed seams as practical, with the exception of the inner bag, or tied off, or taped with care taken to insure that the tape does not touch the cleaned part). Purge the bag with dry nitrogen before sealing.

6.3 Marking

Appropriate identification of the product, both on packages and shipping containers; all markings necessary for delivery and for storage, if applicable; all markings required by regulations, statutes, and common carriers; and all markings necessary for safety and safe delivery shall be provided.

Identification of the material shall be maintained through all manufacturing processes. Each component shall be uniquely identified. The identification shall enable the complete history of each component to be maintained (in association with Documentation “travelers”). A record for each component shall indicate all weld repairs and fabrication abnormalities.

For components and parts which are exposed to the vacuum environment, marking the finished materials with marking fluids, die stamps and/or electro-etching is not permitted. A vibratory tool with a minimum tip radius of 0.005" is acceptable for marking on surfaces which are not hidden from view. Engraving and stamping are also permitted.

Appendix A Quality Conformance Inspections

Appendixes are used to append large data tables or any other items which would normally show up within the body of the specification, but, due to their bulk or content, tend to degrade the usefulness of the specification. Whenever an Appendix is used, it shall be referenced in the body of the specification.

Appendix 1 shall always contain a table which lists the requirements and the method of testing requirements. An example table follows. Additional appendixes can contain other information, as appropriate to the subsystem being specified.
