In the event of operational failures, the Machine Protection System (MPS) shuts off the beam within microseconds to control beam losses that may damage accelerator components. The operational mode is distributed to all fast and critical devices that have multiple hardware checkpoints and comparators. A relational database provides the framework for the development of the MPS management application. In this paper, we present the FRIB MPS architecture, plans and implementation.

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) will use a 400 kW, heavy-ion cw linac to produce rare isotopes in support of a rich program of fundamental research. In the event of operational failures, the Machine Protection System (MPS) shuts off the beam within microseconds to control beam losses that may damage accelerator components. The operational mode is distributed to all fast and critical devices that have multiple hardware checkpoints and comparators. A relational database provides the framework for the development of the MPS management application. In this paper, we present the FRIB MPS architecture, plans and implementation.
