abstract = {{The superconducting driver Linac for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a heavy ion accelerator that accelerate ions to 200 MeV per nucleon. The Linac has 46 cryomodules that contain 324 superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities and 69 superconducting (SC) solenoid packages. For operation of all cryomodules with high efficiency and reliability, automation for SRF cavity and SC solenoid fast turn-on/off is essentially. Based on cryomodule commissioning results and expert experience, all manual cavity and solenoid turn-on/off procedures and steps have been replaced by automatic programs for FRIB linac operation. This allows the operators to turn the systems on and off without expert-level training. Automation reduces the risk of human error, speeds up beam recovery after user access to experimental areas, and increases beam availability. The cavity turn-on procedure makes sure that the cavity can operate at low field with expected read backs, ramps up the field, and makes sure that the RF amplitude and phase are stable. The design, implementation, and operating experience with automation will be presented.}},
