“…7 shows the diagram of the KSTAR NBI-1 control system. The NBI control system consists of operator interface (OPI) server in the framework of Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) software [10,11] which is being used in all KSTAR local devices and the first trial in world fusion devices, programmable logic controller (PLC) as the input and output controller for the local beam line instruments and ion source high voltage power supplies, and main Versa Module Euro (VME)-based controller for power supplies. EPICS is proven technology that has been used in many large experimental facilities such as accelerators, astronomical telescopes to integrates many local subsystem controllers in a logically unified, single control system, controlling and supervising them remotely.…”

The aim of this paper is design and implementation of an up-to-date control room. The previous control room had a lot of constraints and it was not apposite to the sophisticated diagnostic systems as well as to the modern control and multivariable systems. Although it provided the best output for the considered experiments and implementing offline algorithms among all similar plants, it needed to be developed to provide more capability for complex algorithm mechanisms and this work introduces our efforts in this area. Accordingly, four leading systems were designed and implemented, including real-time control system, online Data Acquisition System (DAS), offline DAS, monitoring and data transmission system.In the control system, three real-time control modules were established based on Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Thanks to them, implementation of the classic and linear and nonlinear intelligent controllers was possible to control the plasma position and its elongation. Also, online DAS was constructed in two modules. Using them, voltages and currents of charge for the capacitor banks and pressure of different parts in vacuum vessel were measured and monitored. Likewise, by realtime processing of the online data, the safety protocol of plant performance was accomplished. In addition, the offline DAS was organized in 13 modules based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This system can be used for gathering all diagnostic, control, and performance data in 156 channels. Data transmission system and storing mechanism in the server was provided by data transmitting network and MDSplus standard protocol. Moreover, monitoring software was designed so that it could display the required plots for physical analyses. Taking everything into account, this new platform can improve the quality and quantity of research activities in plasma physics for Damavand tokamak.
