Description
Currently, the radiofrequency (RF) power source to the Argonne Advanced Photon Source (APS) storage ring is under an upgrade from several 1 MW klystrons to solid state amplifiers (SSAs). It is very important to have new interlock systems ready for the new SSA systems. This presentation shares our experience on a new machine protection system (MPS) subsystem development. Other interlock subsystems including personal safety system, programmable logic controller (PLC), accelerator access & interlock systems and power monitor interlock will be discussed briefly too. Some experience of newly developed facility radiation safety interlock system, high voltage and water interlock system for superconducting cavities at Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) is also presented.
