ITER Talks (9): Integrated Control System
Channel: iterorganization
Date: 2022-10-24

“The ITER control system performs the functional integration of the ITER plant and enables integrated and automated operation.”
With the ninth talk in the series, we have the opportunity to take a deep dive into a less familiar part of the ITER Project—integrated control. Without it, the vast plant and the machine itself couldn’t operate. System by system, what are the requirements? How has the overall architecture been designed? What protocols are respected by the software? What special role for the safety control system? And finally, what is the status on site?
Anders Wallander—Head of the ITER Controls Division—is our guide to "the brain of ITER."
