Communication Protocol for Plasma Position and Shape Control for the COMPASS Tokamak
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Compass tokamak, reinstalled at IPP Prague, will have a new digital plasma position and shape control system. Development of a communication protocol is necessary for the connection between the energetics devices 1 built by CKD company and the operator either human or computer together. The present work is focused on development of such communication protocol. Human operator can send a request for status of energetics, time synchronization, counting errors, etc. through communication protocol. Predefined currents for individual power supplies will be send through the communication protocol. In the future this system will be replaced by feedback control system integrated in CODAC (Control Data Acquisition and Communication system).

Calculation of edge ion temperature and poloidal rotation velocity from carbon III triplet measurements on the COMPASS tokamak
Atomic spectroscopy can provide valuable information about fusion plasma. This is possible due to the fact that properties of radiated photons are governed by ion and electron velocity distributions and densities, electromagnetic fi elds, and ion species present in a plasma. Specifi cally, it can be used to calculate ion temperature and ion fl ow along magnetic fl ux surfaces in tokamaks called...
متن کاملUse of soft x-ray diagnostic on the COMPASS tokamak for investigations of sawteeth crash neighborhood and of plasma position using fast inversion methods.
The soft x-ray diagnostic is suitable for monitoring plasma activity in the tokamak core, e.g., sawtooth instability. Moreover, spatially resolved measurements can provide information about plasma position and shape, which can supplement magnetic measurements. In this contribution, fast algorithms with the potential for a real-time use are tested on the data from the COMPASS tokamak. In additio...
متن کاملVacuum Control and Gas Handling for COMPASS Tokamak
This paper is aimed at creating a vacuum and a gas handling subsystem. The new vacuum and the gas handling subsystem was developed at IPP/Prague after the COMPASS tokamak reinstallation. It was necessary to build a system which can operate 24/7 and be fully autonomous. A firmware programmed in the C programming language controls devices connected to the vacuum and the gas handling subsystem. Th...
متن کاملShape Control in Tokamaks
The need of achieving always better performance in present and future tokamak devices has pushed plasma control to gain more and more importance in tokamak engineering. When high performance and robustness are required, it is essential to adopt a model-based approach to design a control system. In this paper we introduce the basics of plasma current, shape position control in tokamaks. As examp...
متن کاملOn Use of Semiconductor Detector Arrays on COMPASS Tokamak
Semiconductor detector arrays are widely used in high-temperature plasma diagnostics. They have a fast response, which allows observation of many processes and instabilities in tokamaks. In this paper, there are reviewed several diagnostics based on semiconductor arrays as cameras, AXUV photodiodes (referred often as fast “bolometers”) and detectors of both soft X-rays and visible light install...
