  In the RAON accelerator, beams generated by ion sources like ECR-IS or ISOL are accelerated to an energy of up to 200 MeV/u before reaching the laboratory target, and the beam power reaches up to about 400 kW at that moment. During transportation of such a beam, if beam loss occurs due to a device malfunction or a sudden change in beam condition, the accelerator can be severely damaged. Therefore, we have developed a machine protection system to protect the devices by minimizing the damage and to operate the accelerator in safe. As part of the RAON machine protection system, a FPGA-based fast protection system (FPS) that can protect devices within a few tens of microseconds after detecting the moment of beam loss has been developed since 2016. The development and test of the FPS prototype was successfully completed last year, and we are now preparing for mass production of the FPS. Here we will present the progress of the FPS development and the future plan for the FPS in the RAON accelerator.
