  LCLS-II is a new FEL which is under construction at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Its superconducting electron linac is able to produce up to 1.2 MW of beam power. Beam Containment System (BCS) is employed to limit the beam power and prevent excessive radiation in case of electron beam loss or FEL breach. Fast and slow shut-off paths are designed for devices with different response requirements. The system is required to shut-off the beam within 200 µs for some of the fast sensors. Fast path is based on custom electronic designs, and slow path leverages industrial safety-rated PLC hardware. The system spans for 4 km of LCLS-II and combines inputs from about 150 sensors of different complexity. Architecture is based on multiple levels starting with summing sensor inputs locally and to converting them into permits for the shut-off devices. Each level is implemented redundantly. Automated test and manual tests at all levels are implemented in the system. System architecture, electronics design and cable plant challenges are presented below.
