Interlocking

The beam interlock system of the LHC is a central system for machine protection since it provides the interface between user systems and the beam dumping system. This presentation is focused on the main design concepts and overall architecture of the LHC beam interlock system. Interfaces to the interlock system users, to the beam dumping system as well as to LHC injector chain will be...

The Beam Interlock System (BIS) forms the backbone of the LHC Machine Protection System, allowing 100’s of distributed User Systems to inhibit beam operation and request Beam Dump from all around the 28 km circumference of the LHC. The time response of the BIS is in the order of only 100s of microseconds from any connected User System to the LHC Beam Dumping System. The rapid time...

11. The LHC Safe Beam Parameters

Dr Bruno Puccio (CERN)

Interlocking

For safe operation of the LHC, several critical parameters must be generated and dependably distributed around the accelerator. These parameters are principally the SAFE LHC ENERGY, the SAFE BEAM FLAGS and the BEAM PRESENCE FLAGS. The presentation explains how we intend to produce and generate the Safe Beam Parameters. It describes how we are going to ensure a safe and reliable...
