Modeling tools for the ITER Central Interlock System

摘要

The ITER Central Interlock System (CIS) executes manual and automatic interlocks in order to protect tokamak's investments. When a new control system, such as the CIS, has to be deployed, it is strongly recommended to use modeling and simulation tools, in order to test and validate the control logics. This paper presents the software tools that have been recently developed to perform the modeling of the ITER CIS. In particular, the architectures of both a CIS oriented plant simulator and of a CIS logical prototype are presented, together with the simulation of two test cases.
