ITER edge Thomson scattering system (ETS) is being developed in Japan. ETS measures electron density and temperature profiles using high energy laser more than 5 J. Therefore, ETS has to contain interlock system to protect optical components from damage caused by laser malfunctions. As same as interlock system, conventional control also should sustain components good conditions. We proposed new method that templates for program codes of conventional control were generated from interlock logics using information technologies such as semantic web technique. In addition, we applied the plant description data to risk analysis. HAZOP (hazard and operability study) is a useful method to indentify hazards and problems in a system. To describe plant functionalities and behaviors using ontology for functional knowledge, list of possible risks are extracted from the description by applying substitution and/or inference rules.
