These are discussed along with current thinking as to how they can be met. The high field superconducting magnets are subject to "persistent currents" which will require real time measurements and control using a mathematical model on a 2-10 second time interval. This may be realised using direct links, multiplexed using TDM, between the field equipment and central servers. Quench control and avoidance will make new demands on speed of response, reliability and surveillance. The integration of large quantities of industrially controlled equipment will be important. Much of the controls will be in common with LEP so a seamless integration of LHC and LEP controls will be sought. A very large amount of new high-tech equipment will have to be tested, assembled and installed in the LEP tunnel in a short time. The manpower and cost constraints will be much tighter than previously. New approaches will have to be found to solve many of these problems, with the additional constraint of integrating them into an existing framework.
