Virgo Superattenuator

• PASSIVE isolator

• Designed with 3 points of actuation:– Inverted pendulum– Marionette– Recoil mass

• Local controls– Inertial damping of internal modes (IP)– Pre-alignment/damping of the payload

modes (optical levers on marionette/mirror)

• Global control: locking correction distributed hierarchically over the three actuation points

Digital Controls

• DSP 1: sends correction for inertial damping and tide control to IP actuators

• DSP 2: sends correction for local controls/AA/locking to marionette/RM actuators

Control electronics

• Digital electronics (16 bit ADC – DSP – 20 bit DAC)

• DSP characteristics:

– Clock frequency 60 MHz

– 2 poles/2 zeroes filter in 330 nsec

– 3x3 matrix-vector product in 1 sec

– Max. sampling freq. 160 kHz (used at 10 kHz)

– Frequency accuracy at 10 kHz: f=2.5 Hz

Inverted pendulum

• Gravity as antispring: low resonant frequency

• Pre-isolation effect

• Low control forces:

– f0=40 mHz, m=1 ton, l=6 m, x =1 cm

F = 0.6 N !!

• Ideal as control platform: soft actuation

xmF 20

Sensors/Actuators

• Inertial sensors:– DC-100 Hz bandwidth– Equivalent displacement

sensitivity: better than 10-11

m/rt(Hz)

• Displacement sensors:– Used for DC-0.1 Hz control– Sensitivity: 10-8 m/rt(Hz)– Linear range: few cm

• Coil magnet actuators:– Linear range: few cm

Control strategy

• From a MIMO to 3 SISO systems:diagonalization with respect to IP modes

d/dt(L2- L1) ~ 0.25 m/s

• Low frequency position control is needed because:– Inertial sensors do not provide DC error signal– Inertial sensors response at f<40 mHz can be spoiled by tilt

• Problem: blend the sensors – dominating the tilt effect – minimizing the seismic noise re-injection– Simplyfing the control strategy

• Marionette error signal allows a bandwidth of 2-3 Hz

• Uncontrolled resonance (1.2 Hz) exists: needs blending with mirror error signal

Hierarchical control

• Required locking accuracy: L 10-12 m

• Tidal strain over 3 km: L 10-4 m

The required dynamic range can be covered by two stages. The third one helps for

bandwidth/noise issues…

RM actuation

• RM actuators can compensate up to 100 m (in high power/high noise configuration)

• Tidal strain can be larger

• Locking is lost

Tide Control

• Re-allocation of the low frequency (<10 mHz) correction to the IP

C4 run

• Tide control: data vs prediction

16 mHz – the problem

• Main rotational mode of the SA

• Long decay time, large elongation.

• Hard to be controlled from the marionette

Braccini, Vicerè

16 mHz – solution

• Damp it off using F7 actuators!

F7 control

• Hardware/software for F7 control implemented on the NE tower

• 16 mHz resonance control activated

• Used either with or without LC

• Possibility to control other “dangerous” SA modes to be studied

Coil Driver

To reduce the DAC noise we should insert a resistor in series with coil driver. To get closer to VIRGO specs, the resistor value should be about 500 ohms. Bigger values could be used if force will be enough to keep the cavities locked.

The resistor limits the maximum force we can apply and therefore makes lock acquisition very difficult (impossible?)

DAC 1Transconductance Amplifier We supply the required

additional force for lock acquisition with a transconductive amplifier.

During lock acquisition phase only DAC 1 is used.

During linear phase DAC 1 output set to zero and DAC 2 is used to keep the lock.

Basic Equations

• Lock Acquisition: g1 = 1, g2 = 0

• Linear Regime: g1 = 0, g2 = 75

Noise figures

• DAC noise expected (?) @100 Hz:

3 10-16 m/Hz1/2

• Virgo design sensitivity @100 Hz:

2 10-19 m/Hz1/2

• Required noise reduction @100 Hz:

• Using tide control allows to reduce the required correction by a factor 100

• Re-allocating locking to the marionette in the SA resonance region should provide the residual attenuation

Correction to the mirror in C4

• Marionette control with 3 Hz bandwidth allows to reduce the correction by 50 (Vp= 2 mV)

• Coil driver gain could be reduced by a factor 5000

Mechanics of the last stages

• Complicated dynamics, important couplings…

Use of SA simulation

• SA simulation has been important to design the marionette control strategy:– Tuning of SIESTA to reproduce the measured TF – Use of tuned simulation to estimate and subtract the couplings

due to the sensing

– Calculation of a filter to compensate for x marionette motion induced by longitudinal forces

SA mode tuning: I.Fiori, A.Vicerè

LC tuning: S.Avino, E.Calloni, I.Fiori

Strongly coupled sy

• Using 4 coils to move the marionette along z: reduce the z-x coupling

• Good data-simulation agreement

Mechanics

• The two mechanical TF are different– For the structure around 1 Hz – For the asymptotical slope

“Modified” marionette

• Adding two zeroes makes the marionette TF “very similar” to the RM one

1st scheme: composed lock ACQ

• Advantage: simpler, no need of transition

• Drawback: marionette control bandwidth limited by higher ITF noise (no SSFS)

Filters

• To blend the two systems use usual strategy

• L(s) = 3rd order low pass filter, H(s) = 1-L(s)

Hierarchical control

• The north cavity has been locked by distributing the forces over the three SA stages: the controllability of the SA has been demostrated

Performance with no AA/SSFS

Mirror displacement correction over the two stages

C4 data - extrapolation

• C4 data (noisy stretch) have been filtered with current hierarchical control TFs to predict the correction one expects on the RM when SSFS is ON

• Expected zCorrrms= 3 mV.

L.Holloway

• One should consider peak values of zCorr instead of rms. In C4, over 18 hrs:

zCorrpeak ~ 10 zCorrrms

• With hierarchical control in the present configuration one can assume:

zCorrpeak ~ 30 mV

• Therefore, the coil driver gain can already be reduced by ~ 300

We are not far from Virgo sensitivity…

New promising design is being tested in MATLAB (L.Holloway)

Interaction with angular control

• The alignment/power fluctuations are larger when hierarchical control is ON

• This is a concern: to be tested with AA

• Larger statistics needed, analysis going on

Standard locking

Hierarchical locking

Next steps

• Test hierarchical locking with linear alignment

• Widen the bandwidth of marionette control

• Switch to low noise coil driver after re-allocation
