Description
This contribution reviews the status of three main beam instruments currently in use for machine protection purposes: the IP6 interlock BPMs, the Beam Current Change Monitor (BCCM) and the abort gap monitor (BSRA). Their performance during 2015 operation and observed limitations will be discussed as well as plans for future improvements and/or alternative solutions in order to allow for reliable operation in view of operational demands in 2016.
