INTRODUCTION The LHC accelerator complex and its associated Experiments rely on many critical auxiliary systems for their safe operation. The Industrial Controls and Engineering (EN-ICE) group of the EN Department at CERN develops solutions and provides support in the domain of medium and large control systems. EN-ICE is currently responsible for the operation and maintenance of around 60 applications that control critical processes for the cryogenics, quench protection systems and power interlocks for the LHC. The Monitoring Operation of cOntrols Networks (MOON) package was developed to centrally manage software updates over the lifetime of these applications and to ensure a quick detection of faults during their operation.
