Description

Supervisory control system for superconducting magnet power supplies in JT-60SA is designed and developed. This system is in charge of many kinds of control; discharge sequence control, real-time magnet current control, data acquisition, machine protection and human safety. In the design, communication interface has to be optimized according to all requirements. The most important feature is real-time control with 4 kHz which is required for equilibrium control of plasma. In order to satisfy this requirement, reflective memory (RFM) network is applied for high speed data sharing with multiple controllers. This paper describes the architecture of the control system and the operation of the power supply system under the supervision. (authors)
