  13. Global operating states Construction and Long Term Maintenance (LTM) Short Term Maintenance (STM) Test and Conditioning Operation (TCS) • Cryopump regeneration at 400 K • Cryopump cool-down • Cryopump warm-up to ambient temperature • HV conditioning over extraction and acceleration grids • ion source plasma without extraction • ion beam accelerated • ion beam neutralized • residual ion dump active Short Term Stand-by (STS) • Cryopump regeneration at 100 K Pulse Operation State (POS) • Beam on calorimeter • Beam on target without plasma • Beam on target with plasma: beam normal operation of in ITER pulse. Beam is interlocked (e.g. tokamak plasma density) A.Masiello – Colloquium on the ITER-CODAC “Plant Control Design Handbook” - 27-28 October, Barcelona

  14. Control system main parameters The NB Injector Control System will control the following main parameters: • Power to the RF driver • Plasma grid current • Bias Voltage • Extraction grid voltage • Acceleration grids voltages • Residual Ion dump biasing • Caesium oven temperature • Gas flows • Fast shutter control (and absolute valve) • Beam on/off-axis injection • Magnetic compensation coil current • … A.Masiello – Colloquium on the ITER-CODAC “Plant Control Design Handbook” - 27-28 October, Barcelona

  16. Main acquisition requirements The data acquisition system of each NB Injector will include the instrumentation needed to condition, record, display and analyze the measured signal coming from the beam line • Standard analog inputs to CODAC some thousands • Standard digital inputs to CODAC about 100 • Standard digital outputs from CODAC about 100 • Timing outputs from CODAC few • Temperature measurements • Status signals • Gas pressure meas. • Residual pressure meas. • B field (static) meas. • Position transducers • Water and gas flow meas. • …… • Most of the signals sampling speed is 10-100Hz • For higher speeds up to MHz, a baseline speed of KHz is foreseen and an event driven acquisition with a window of few ms to acquire the signal up to some MHz • Fastest interlock 100ms A.Masiello – Colloquium on the ITER-CODAC “Plant Control Design Handbook” - 27-28 October, Barcelona
