Description
The critical components and interfaces of the machine protection
system will not depend on the control system per se. However,
controls are implicated in a number of areas. These include pre- and
post operation checks, the need for efficient and accurate post-
mortem analysis, and the need to maintain secure equipment settings
which could vary with the beam energy and intensity. Other potential
areas with implications for the control system include protection
against false manipulations and software interlocks.
The various areas in which the control system is implicated are
enumerated, and the importance of each evaluated. Possible
implementations are suggested where appropriate; the areas requiring
further attention are high-lighted.
