Description
Magnet power supply (PS) system of JT-60SA is being implemented within the Broader Approach Agreement aiming to achieve first plasma in 2020. The system consists of several components such as DC power supply, switching network unit, quench protection circuit and motor-generator. All the components have their own internal controller (LCC) for stand-alone operation so the individual commissioning are in progress and almost completed.
The next step scheduled is a combination test with all components in which supervisory control system manage LCCs remotely. The supervisory system covers the following roles: 1) machine status monitoring; 2) discharge sequence management; 3) real-time reference waveforms management; 4) data acquisition; 5) machine protection; 6) human safety. The supervisory system consists of several subsystems; PS supervising computer (PS-SC), PS programmable logic controller (PS-PLC), PS internal protection system(PS-IPS) and PS safety interlock system (PS-SIS).
PS-SC covers the primary roles in 1) – 4) which is built on CompactPCIs with real-time OS INtime. PS-SC and LCCs are linked through a Reflective Memory (RM) network to share common data in real-time (4 kHz). PS-SC is also linked to the upstream JT-60SA supervisory control system (SCSDAS) via another RM network as an interface for the power supply internal control systems. During discharge sequence, PS-SC also manages motor-generator speed, AC circuit breakers OPEN/CLOSE status with a controller PS-PLC and magnets current according to request from SCSDAS.
PS-IPS covers the function of 5) which is implemented on FPGA. PS-IPS is connected to LCCs via fiber optical and hard-wired signals. In case of emergency events such as magnet quench and earth quake, PS-IPS commands to shut down the magnets currents immediately.
PS-SIS plays the role in 6) such as status and permission of fence OPEN/CLOSE and grounding switch for maintenance.
In this presentation, overview and development of the supervisory system are described.
