The ITER Interlock Control System (ICS) requires the application of the IEC61508 standard for all mission-critical (known as investment protection) control functions. Such functions at nuclear fusion facilities present a unique challenge where events from integrated physics processes need to be detected and distributed to actuators with hard real-time constraints in the order of single-digit...
High-speed sampling measurements with more than a giga-sample per second have rapidly become popular in fusion plasma experiments, where the phase delay of the timing signals, such as triggers and clocks, becomes relatively large and thus some delay compensation mechanism would be indispensable for the timing synchronization.
White Rabbit (WR) is the high-precision network time...
SPIDER - the ITER full-size beam source built at the Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF) in Padova, Italy – has been in operation since June 2018. SPIDER’s mission is to optimize the operation of the beam source so that to reuse the SPIDER experience on the full-size prototype of the ITER Neutral Beam Injector, called MITICA, under advanced construction at the NBTF, and in the ITER heating...
