Design and development of the torus gas injection control system for TFTR

Description

The purpose of the Gas Injection Control system (GICS) is to control the flow rate of gas injected into the torus of Princeton's Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR). The GICS is a computer controlled system similar in function to the manually controlled analog system used on Princeton's Poloidal Divertor Experiment (PDX). Capabilities of the system include open and closed loop pulse control, and steady state control, of gas injection into the torus. In the closed loop mode this system essentially samples deviations in various machine parameters and operates on them to formulate a flow control signal proportional to the deviations
