Operation and Remote Collaboration Tools in view of the ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility Experimental Campaigns

Summary & Conclusions: ⚫ Requirements for improving SPIDER operations and remote collaborations were defined ⚫ Open-Source Tools were chosen for new developments, in line with ITER CODAC Plant System I&C requirements ⚫ Integration of different tools such as PostgreSQL, Redis, Grafana, MDSplus and EPICS, used in common developments for improving SPIDER operations and remote collaborations ⚫ Tools have been commissioned and are being used in the current SPIDER Experimental Campaign ⚫ Security and efficiency improvements in the operation include: ⚫ Remote access to real-time trends visualization tools ⚫ Automatic verification of operating session limits and nominal limits ⚫ Multiple pulse approval and automatic real-time reconfiguration of pulse sequence ⚫ Full integration with SPIDER pulse sequence ⚫ Improvement to the pulse repetition rate capabilities
