Description
The Beam Interlock System (BIS) is a high-speed, high-dependability interlock system used throughout the CERN accelerator complex. It has been designed to provide the required protection level whilst having a minimal impact on machine availability. This talk explains the methods used to predict the reliability of the BIS during the design phase, the observed system performance with respect to predictions, and an outlook for reliability considerations in dependable systems.
