Summary: | CODAC (Control, Data Access and Communication) is the central control system responsible for operating the ITER device. CODAC interfaces to more than 160 plant systems containing actuators, sensors and local control. CODAC is responsible for coordinating and orchestrating the operation of these plant systems including plasma feedback control. CODAC is developed by ITER Organization, while plant systems are developed by the seven ITER parties (China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and United States). This procurement model poses enormous challenges, has a big impact on architecture design and requires a strong standardization for better integration and future maintenance. In this paper we briefly describe the CODAC conceptual design, elaborate on the actions taken by the CODAC team to move from conceptual to engineering design during the last year and outline the plans ahead. |
