        Beam power at the LCLS-II linac and FEL can be as high as several hundered kW with CW beam rates up to 1 MHz. The new MPS has a latency of less than 100 µs to prevent damage when a fault or beam loss is detected. The MPS architecture encompasses the multiple FEL beamlines served by the SC linac and can mitigate a fault in one beamline without impacting the beam rate in a neighboring beamline. The MPS receives inputs from various devices including loss monitors and charge monitors as well as magnet power supplies and BPMs to pre-emptively turn of the beam if a fault condition is detected. Link nodes distributed around the facility gather the input data and stream it back to a central processor that signals other link nodes connected to beam rate control devices. Commmissioning and experience with the new system will be described.
