The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project, which aims for increasing the performance of the LHC, requires a review and upgrade of the existing machine protection and interlock systems. One of these interlock systems is the Fast Magnet Current Change Monitor (FMCM), which protects accelerator equipment from being damaged by the beam in case of powering failures in normal conducting magnets. Considering the HL-LHC project, a new batch production of FMCMs has been launched. The goal of the project was to design a test-bench platform to program, configure and functionally test the new FMCM interlock devices after their factory assembly to validate the functioning of these.
