Abstract The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is being constructed at the campus of the NSRRC (National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center) and commissioning expected in 2014. In order to prevent damage to accelerator components induced by various events, a global machine protection system (MPS) was installed and implemented. The MPS collect interlocks and beam dump requests from various system (thermo/flow of magnets, front-end, vacuum system, and orbit excursion interlock), perform decision, transmit dump beam request to E-Gun or RF system. The PLC based system with embedded EPICS IOC was used as a slow MPS which can delivery less than 8 msec reaction time. The fast MPS was dependent on event based timing system to deliver response time less than 5 μs. Trigger signal for post-mortem will also be distributed by the fast MPS. To ensure alive of the system, several self-diagnostics mechanisms include heartbeat and transient capture were implemented and tested. The MPS architecture, installation, and validation test results were presented in this report.
