MPS Design Assumptions l Machine Protection System is not a “Safety Class” or “Safety Significant” System. l SNS will be built and commissioned in Phases, MPS must accommodate this schedule. l Reliability – The Machine Protection System must inhibit the beam when required. It must fail in a SAFE state. l Availability – The machine availability should be as high as possible. The MPS must be easy to configure and have a “friendly” operator interface. False trips must be minimized. SNS Integrated Control System

MPS - Layered Protection SNS Integrated Control System

Machine Protection System l Run Permit System (1 second) » Coordinates machine mode changes. » Scans IOC configurations for Software Configuration errors. » EPS interface for masking equipment inputs. l Hard Wired Protect (~ 33 msec) » Latched in Hardware » Redundancy through FPLS inputs l Fast Protect Latched System (< 20 microseconds) » Latches fault conditions until fault clears and Operator resets condition. FPS_PERMIT_LINK_A carrier interrupted and inhibits beam through front end devices. l Fast Protect Auto Reset (20 microseconds) » Inhibits beam for duration of macro pulse by disabling FPS_PERMIT_LINK_B carrier to the front end. Restores Fast Protect link for next pulse if fault restored to normal. SNS Integrated Control System

Fast Protect - Latched System l Concentrates Permit Inputs l Inhibits carrier link to disable beam l Devices bypassed by Key or PLC l Inputs disabled by machine mode (event link) l Equipment maintained in locked racks l Documentation control of changes l System verification after changes SNS Integrated Control System

Fast Protect Inputs SNS Integrated Control System

MPS Input Bypass Mechanisms l Mode Mask » Global database contains operating mode dependant devices. Devices not required for present mode are masked through hardware. Masks changed with database reconfiguration and IOC reboot. l Jumper / Key / PLC Bypass » Software bypass requires set of closed contacts from a jumper, key, or PLC contacts. l Software Bypass » If hardware configuration allows, input bypassed through software with appropriate EPICS Access Security permissions.
