For all these magnets, uniform quench detection (QuD) electronics have been developed to protect them in case of uncontrolled loss of superconductivity. The QuD system will contain ca. 1500 electronic units, each having an Ethernet interface for controls, monitoring, data acquisition, and time synchronization. The units will be grouped into sub-networks of ca. 100 units and interfaced via dedicated control computers to the accelerator network. The interfacing software used to expose QuD functions to the FAIR controls framework is implemented as a Front-End Software Architecture (FESA) class. The software provides a solution for the constant collection of the data and monitoring of the system, storing the complete snapshot in the case a quench event is detected, and prompt notification of a quench to other components of the FAIR facility. The software is developed with special attention to robustness and reliability.
