The Control System of ITER Overview, status and PS integration CODAC team ITER IO
Everything you always wanted to know about ITER I&C but were afraid to ask • What the ITER Control System is ? • Why do we need standards ? • What are these standards ? • How to get informed about ? • How to procure and use them ? • How to test and integrate the I&C systems ? • What is already done by IO and is expected ?
Introduction to The Control System of ITER PCDH v7
ITER Control System overview: Three vertical tiers with limited direct interface • Conventional Controls • Interlock controls Investment protection • Safety controls Occupational, Nuclear
ITER Control System overview: Two horizontal layers interfaced with networks Central I&C Plant system I&C Target: well identify functionalities and interfaces
ITER Control System physical architecture As much as possible close to what is commonly in use for I&C
ITER Control System functional architecture: Made of a finite set of “Lego block” which can be selected and connected as required Common architecture but versatile and scalable
ITER Control System overview: Some figures ITER: a scientific facility made of COTS and specific systems
The ITER standards For I&C systems
I&C standards: why? Statements: Most of components or plant systems of ITER are procured “in-kind” from the seven ITER member partners. These components will come with their own local control systems. For integrated operation purpose, these local control system will be all interfaced to the Central I&C systems. There will be a huge number of physical and functional interfaces. After commissioning, ITER IO will have to maintain everything. Main challenge for I&C systems is the integration
I&C standards: Integration purpose Target: Central I&C interfaces • The physical and functional interfaces with central I&C systems. • The naming conventions and data format. • Workflows and procedures for integration.
I&C standards: maintenance purpose Target: Components of the plant system I&C • Products and technology (HW and SW) for controllers directly interfaced to central I&C systems. • Products for I&C cubicles enclosures. The I&C standards have been checked and tested for suitability
I&C standards - Physical interfaces: Networks • Plant Operation Network (PON): Industrial Ethernet • Synchronous Databus Network (SDN): UDP multicast on 10 Gb Ethernet • Time Communication Network (TCN): PTP, IEEE 1588 • Audio-Video Network (AVN): 10 Gb Ethernet • Data Archiving Network (DAN): 10 Gb Ethernet • Central Interlock Network (CIN): Industrial Ethernet • Central Safety Network (CSN): Industrial Ethernet + Hard Wires
I&C standards - physical interfaces: Network interfaces The “Integration Kit” is gathering everything the suppliers need as HW interface for Central I&C systems. See: Integration Kit for PS I&C (C8X9AE) IO provides for free one integration kit for each plant system I&C. Others Network interfaces shall be ordered separately by the suppliers.
I&C standards - Functional interfaces • Are implemented in CODAC Core Systems (CCS) for: • Plant system I&C supervisory control and monitoring (HMI). • Data archiving retrieval and display. • Event handling and synchronization. • Configuration management (plant systems and plant) • CODAC is responsible for defining and providing the solution and tools for implementation. • Based on EPICS Channel Access protocol for PON interface. EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) • Other CODAC solutions: see CODAC Core Systems v4.0 * documentation at: https://www.iter.org/org/team/chd/cid/codac/Pages/CoreSystem.aspx CODAC team provides required tools and assistance services (training + support) for user configuration and integration
I&C standards - products: Slow controllers • Are Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 products • Are ET200M and ET200S for Remote IO • Are covering standard ITER signals Slow controllers are addressing industrial controls, fail safe controls and redundant controls. See: ITER catalogue for I&C products - Slow controllers PLC (333J63)
I&C standards - technology: Fast controllers SW supported by CCS Fast controllers are addressing controls not implementable in slow controllers. See: ITER Catalog of I&C products - Fast Contollers (345X28)
I&C standards: products details: I&C cubicle enclosures • Are Schneider Electric products • Address floor standing and wall mounted cubicles • Address Standard and EMC protected. ITER standards enclosures are suited to interface the cable trays and are monitored by a standard system. See: ITER catalogue for I&C products - Cubicles (35LXVZ)
I&C standards: I&C design data and deliverables • Address design phase and manufacture phases for I&C • I&C design data: what we need to initiate the integration process • I&C deliverables: What to deliver at manufacture. From design to manufacture I&C design data, see: Methodology for Plant System I&C specifications (353AZY) CODAC Core System generates automatically the functional interfaces
How to get informed and trained about ITER solutions for I&C ?
I&C standards repository = PCDH • Plant Control Design Handbook (PCDH) defines methodology, standards, specifications and interfaces applicable to all ITER plant systems I&C. • PCDH is an annex to Project Requirements (PR) and applicable to all Procurement Arrangements with I&C. • All major project reviews are required to show that PCDH standards are followed.
PCDH access: public access Publicly available at https://www.iter.org/org/team/chd/cid/codac/Pages/PlantControlHandbook.aspx
PCDH access: IDM access Use IDM references. See: http://www.iter.org/getaccountfor IDM account creation PCDH v7 to be released by April 2013 is the final version
CODAC Core System training • To get started on ITER solutions for I&C. • Scheduled every month in ITER premises. • Address all users of ITER solutions for I&C. • One to 4 days training depending on scope. • Free of charge for the trainees. Subscriptions: http://www.iter.org/org/team/chd/cid/codac/CoreSystemTraining
How to procure and use ITER standards for I&C ?
How to use ITER standards for I&C: A set of guidelines as how to applicable to I&C systems • Guidelines for ITER operator user interface (3XLESZ) • Guidelines for ITER alarm system management (3WCD7T) • Guidelines for PON archiving (B7N2B7) • Guidelines for Plant system operating state management (AC2P4J) • PLC software engineering handbook (3QPL4H) • Guidelines for diagnostic data structure and plant system status information (354SJ3) • Guidelines for fast controllers (333K4C) • Guidelines for I&C signal interface (3299VT), • Guidelines for I&C cubicle configuration (4H5DW6) • Guidelines for PIS design (3PZ2D2) • Guidelines for PIS integration and configuration (7LELG4) • Guidelines for PSS design (C99J7G) PCDH guidelines are IO recommendations for implementing IO standards
How to use ITER standards for I&C: Some illustrations: Signal interface, cubicle configuration, PLC SW engineering
How to test and integrate I&C systems ? Model of Life-Cycle in use at ITER: Manufacture is ended with FAT in supplier premises. Integration on ITER site is ended with SAT and hand-over. Integrated commissioning under IO responsibility. Operation under IO responsibility. Focus on phases 1 and 2 with following principles: Get an approved design which includes I&C standards requirements. Full compliance to the approved design checked during manufacture. Central I&C interfaces tested at the earliest (FAT) using CODAC solution and CODAC support: mini-CODAC systems delivered for that purpose. Integration on ITER site is checked and supported by CODAC team for the connection to the CODAC infrastructure. Details are still TBD, but draft scenarios addressed in: Plant system I&C Integration plan (3VVU9W)
Already done by IO for I&C • Selection of ITER solutions for I&C. • Endorsement of our partners for these solutions. • Test and validation of ITER solutions on simulated use cases. • Set up training sessions open to all users. • Implementation of ITER solutions on real use cases in IO: (SSEN, B55) • Implementation of ITER solutions on real use cases in partners: (KSTAR)
Conclusion • ITER project has Selected I&C standard solutions, architectures and interfaces for risk reduction and cost saving at procurement integration. • The suitability of these solutions has been checked against user reviews and real use cases implementation. • ITER CODAC is now offering support and training services for helping the suppliers and users in implementing these solutions. • Opportunities for the industry shall be investigated mainly with the procurement suppliers and with IO for procurement integration. ITER IO is ready for dealing with I&C business for the detailed design and manufacture phases
