The JT-60 central control system

Adaptive plasma current control in RFX-mod

“…Control systems were successfully implemented even on the basis of relatively simple models of the plasma response, neglecting the plasma resistance [1][2][3].…”

Developmental prototype for replacement of JT-60 timing system

“…The existing timing system of JT-60U has been used to (1) produce and deliver master clock signals, which define the sequencing scenario of a plasma discharge, (2) create data collection signals synchronized with unusual or interesting plasma phenomenon, and (3) interrupt the plasma discharge sequence in the case of an off-normal event occurrence. The entire plasma discharge sequence takes typically about 7-10 min, and the timing system sequences the experiment from 60 s before plasma initiation to the end of the discharge [1,2].…”

“…The entire plasma discharge sequence takes typically about 7-10 min, and the timing system sequences the experiment from 60 s before plasma initiation to the end of the discharge [1,2]. The CAMAC based clock pulse generator (CPG) module generates 1-MHz clock pulses and creates 1 ms clock pulses for the master clock of the timing system.…”
