Interlocks are the instrumented functions of ITER that protect machine against failures plant system components or incorrect operation. Regarding instrumentation and control, interlock control (ICS) ensures no failure conventional controls can lead to a serious damage integrity availability. The ICS is in charge supervision all involved protection tokamak its auxiliary systems. It constituted by central (CIS), different systems (PISs), networks. does not include sensors actuators systems,...
The development of critical systems requires the application verification techniques in order to guarantee that requirements are met system. Standards like IEC 61508 provide guidelines and recommend use formal methods for purpose. ITER Interlock Control System has been designed protect tokamak its auxiliary from failures components or incorrect machine operation. developed a method assure some operator commands have correctly received executed PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)....
The ITER Interlock Control System (ICS) requires the application of IEC 61508 standard for all mission-critical (known as investment protection) control functions. Such functions must detect events integrated physical processes and distribute them to actuators with hard real-time constraints on order milliseconds or even microseconds. Systems able achieve these timing requirements are often bespoke FPGA-based solutions, which a well-known challenge processes. However, minimize variety...
