Second Generation of Power Interlock Controller (PICv2)
In order to meet the dependability objectives of the HL-LHC era, TE- MPE-MI needs to develop a second generation Powering Interlock Controller (PIC), which will both address architectural improvements and modifications of the LHC and HL-LHC magnet protection systems as well as guarantee the current dependability and maintainability of the magnet interlock system for the lifetime of the HL-LHC project.
