Energy Implementation 2010 switch between A and B
Energy Implementation 2010 switch between A and B ≈ 0.5 Hz cross-check dipole currents must be equivalent to BLM energy reading (1%)
Intensity Implementation 2010 switch between A and B no cross-check SMP 3v0 – 2011 will implement complete redundancy Energy and Intensity will be from multiple sources

Beam Presence Flag Signal Path From end of September 2010
Beam Presence Flag Signal Path From end of September 2010
Beam Presence Flag Signal Path From end of September 2010 + fibres to be pulled + new hardware from BI + testing and commissioning
For high intensity beams we need to… Upgrade the operational controller → Ben & SMP Team When: next technical stop? Add a sequencer task → OP When: MPP to decide Release a new GUI → Ivan & SMP Team When: next technical stop? • Improve Beam Presence Flag safety • fibres in UA47 → Bruno & Fibre team • New BPM hardware unit → BI • Testing and Commissioning → BI & SMP Team • When: Ready for end of September Make the SBF more flexible → MPP & MI When:? Complete redundancy SMP 3v0 → many When: January 2011
