The modification of the JT-60U to a fully superconducting coil tokamak, JT-60SA (Super Advanced), has been programmed as the satellite devise for the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) and as the national centralized tokamak. The present positive-ion-based NBI system (P-NBI), which has been operated for 20 years and will be the main heating system on JT-60SA, is required to manage the long pulse injection extended from 30 s to 100 s at the power of 24 MW with 12 units. To realize such a requirement, the original control system handling more than 4000 digital data is to be fully remodeled. Design study of the new control system has been conducted from viewpoint of market availability, system extensibility, cost-effectiveness and independent development in programming. It has been concluded that a distributed control system using PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) could be applied to the large-scale control system for 100-s operations with satisfaction of the evaluation viewpoints.
