Description
The hardware deployed by the Machine Beam Control group (MSK) at the European XFEL is used in critical operation systems. This includes low-level RF control, special diagnostics and time synchronization, making the devices highly dependable. At the same time, this hardware operates under harsh environmental conditions, potentially causing degradation and failures of the board components in the long term. In this poster we survey different ageing mechanisms that affect the hardware under study, together with literature describing their measurable effects. Furthermore, we discuss approaches that can yield an overall status of the hardware ageing, which we will evaluate, combine, and leverage in future work for predictive maintenance.
