With the construction of LCLS-II, SLAC is developing a new Beam Containment System (BCS) to replace the aging hardwired system. This system will ensure that the beam is confined to the design channel at an approved beam power to prevent unacceptable radiation levels in occupable areas. Unlike other safety systems deployed at SLAC, the new BCS is distributed and has explicit response time requirements, which impose design constraints on system architecture. The design process complies with IEC 61508 and the system will have systematic capability SC3. This paper discusses the BCS built on Siemens S7-300F PLC. For those events requiring faster action, a hardwired shutoff path is provided in addition to peer safety functions within PLC; safety performance is enhanced, and the additional diagnostic capabilities significantly relieve operational cost and burden. The new system is also more scalable and flexible, featuring improved configuration control, simplified EPICS interface and reduced safety assurance testing efforts. The new architecture fully leverages the safety PLC capabilities and streamlines design and commissioning through a single-processor single-programmer approach.
