A control system for a superconducting magnet includes an electrically conductive lead having a first end electrically coupled to the superconducting magnet, at least one of a main power supply, a shimming power supply and a discharge module electrically coupled to a second end of the lead, and a controller in communication with the at least one of the main power supply, the shimming power supply and the discharge module. The controller is configured to monitor at least one magnet parameter value indicative of a state of the superconducting magnet and to automatically control operation of the at least one of the main power supply, the shimming power supply and the discharge module when the magnet parameter value crosses a predetermined threshold value prior to a quench. 种用于超导磁体的控制系统包括：具有电联接到超导磁体上的第端的导电引线，电联接到引线的第二端上的主电源、匀场电源和放电模块中的至少者，以及与主电源、匀场电源和放电模块中的该至少者通信的控制器。控制器构造成监测指示超导磁体的状态的至少个磁体参数值，且当在失超之前，磁体参数值穿过预定阈值时，自动地控制主电源、匀场电源和放电模块中的该至少者的操作。
