  1. CODAC Core System F. Di Maio ITER IO / CHD / CIT / CODAC

  2. Introduction ITER is a large experimental facility built and procured by many partners, distributed in all the member states, over a long construction period. ITER Organization (IO) must specify and support standards EPICS is the standard software environment for the ITER controls (2009). Technical specifications for the plant systems controls are issued by IO in the “Plant Control Design Handbook” (PCDH). IO provides CODAC Core system, the uniform software package for the development of the plant systems instrumentation & control (I&C) supporting the PCDH standards. PCDH 5.2: The software infrastructure for PSH and Mini-CODAC is EPICS version R3.14.11. [R111] EPICS version R3.14.11 shall be used for PS fast controllers. [R112] Communication between PS fast controllers and PSH shall use EPICS Channel Access.

  3. Plant System Instrumentation & Control (I&C) Architecture Supplied by IO Mini-CODAC: stand-alone system before integration Linux, EPICS Linux, EPICS SIMATIC S7 PLC Complete software Development tools and standard components Standard components for integration

  4. Core System Core System Releases Roadmap

  5. Area of work With possible sharing of results and efforts • Software management and software distribution • Configuration data (“SDD”) • Slow controllers (PLC) integration • Mini-CODAC tools (plant system development and tests) • Fast controllers support

  6. 1 - Software Management / Software Distribution • RHEL (64 bits) is the selected Linux distribution, ITER users are provided with the RHEL distribution by IO • RHEL 5.3 in vs 1. • RHEL 5.5 in vs 2 • EPICS components (3.14.11) and ITER ones are managed in an IO SVN repository, built as RPMs and distributed using IO Satellite Server(s) as official releases to be shared by all ITER users. • Support is set-up for ITER community registered users. • Online support by Cosylab and IO. • Issue reporting and tracking system (Bugzilla). • Special arrangement to support ITER tasks. • Sharing with other EPICS users could be discussed.

  7. Distribution Management Version ControlRepository Development Work Published Version Internet Software IO’s RedHat NetworkSatellite Server Will be detailed by Matjaz Kobal (Cosylab) on Thursday.

  8. 2 - Configuration Data - SDD Self-Description Data (SDD) - An ITER concept • For each Plant System, the detailed configuration shall be supplied (XML representation compliant with a common schema). • The software shall be driven from this configuration data • In Vs 1: • A baseline version of the data model • A preliminary version of SDD editor and of translators to generate EPICS and STEP 7 data. • From Vs 2: • New implementation (Eclipse) • Use of RDB (PostgreSQL) + Web applications. • Link with EPICS application development (CSS DCT, VDCT, SNL…)

  10. 3 - PLC Integration Siemens SIMATIC S7 communications: • Vs1: SLS S7 driver • Exchanges of data-blocks over TCP (send/receive S7 functions) • Good quality • Good performances • Considered for Vs2: Native S7 protocol. • Would require a new driver based on either open source library or on Siemens library. • More flexibility (direct access without specific code in the PLC) • Performances. Integration via SDD: • SDD editor to describe the CODAC / Slow controller interface • SDD translator to generate the EPICS records, PLC data blocks and driver initialization

  13. PLC PLC sample Archive Viewer HMI Connection Status Alarms Configuration State

  14. 4 – Mini-CODAC Tools • Standard “core” services : HMI builder (synoptics), alarms handler, data archiver, error/trace logger… • From V1: Standard EPICS tools • EDM, ALH, SNL, Channel Archiver… • From V2: Control System Studio tools • SNS “suite” for alarms, synoptics, archive • SNL editor • DCT (?) • The ITER distribution includes a reference example, ICH Sample, that simulates the control of a RF source for Heating & Current Drive. A clear area for future collaborations

  15. ICH Sample HMI

  16. 5 – Fast Controllers support • From now, ITER Organization prescribes/supports PCI Express (PCIe) for I/O. • Separated I/O chassis and CPU/Network chassis is the preferred solution. • Recommended configuration: a PXI Express chassis as a PCIe extension of an industrial computer, such as PICMG 1.3 based system. • IEEE1588-2008 is the candidate for the Time Communication Network With Core System V2, EPICSdrivers (RH) will be supplied for: • N.I. PXI-6682 : Synchronization and timing (IEEE1588-2008) • N.I. PXIe-6368: General purpose I/O • 16b, 32MS/s analog input • 16b, 3.33 MS/s analog output • Digital I/O and 32b counters
