Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：35.2(Nuclear Science & Technology)The JT-60 control system based on workstation and VME-bus system features with UNIX system has been successfully performed at JT-60U advanced plasma experiment. The various hardware modifications and the adoption of the advanced plasma control algorithms have been continued to the JT-60 control system since its upgrade in 1991. The ZENKEI, supervisory control system, has entirely remodeled from its original 16 bits minicomputer and CAMAC system to the combination of workstation and VME-bus system configuration with Ethernet communication network system. The plasma control system executes real-time plasma equilibrium control command calculation within 250msec control cycle time. Each plant control subsystems are also modified along with same design concept to the ZENKEI. Currently, the minor modifications of the control system have been considered to realize longer pulse of discharge experiments without major change of the JT-60 equipment. Nearly 60 seconds of pulse length up to Ip=2MA, Bt=2T, PNBI=10MW(
30sec) plasma experiments will start from October in 2003.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：17.16(Nuclear Science & Technology)The CAMAC hardware based timing system has been used to synchronizing pulse discharge sequential events and data collection of the interesting plasma phenomenon of the JT-60 plasma experiments. However, more flexible and intelligent timing system features with more state-of-the-art system is required corresponding to the increase of the requirement to realize more advanced plasma control and to minimize system maintenance cost. The combinations of the VME-bus system with high-speed data communication network by the reflective memory module and user-friendly application software based on MATLAB tools was selected for the new timing system. The new timing system provides the 50
sec master clock, various timing signal preparation logic, which is built into DSP module conjunction with discharge sequence event. Except clock pulse generator (CPG) module, no other special hardware-timing module is necessary for the new timing system.

We are constructing a hierarchical remote research system, which consists of remote experiment, remote analysis, and remote diagnostic. In a remote collaboration, it is important to maintain the security of the system, as well as to share the information, atmosphere and presence between the participants. For the latter purpose, we developed a video conferencing system, and a video streaming system that can deliver the images of the JT-60 control room. Furthermore, a development of the remote analysis system called "VizAnalysis" has been started. And to assist the remote analysis, we developed a web based software system called "VizSquare". In the JT-60 tokamak at JAERI, security and authentication methods on a computer network and a new communication tool are developed, and probably they will be applied to the remote participation of ITER.

Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：45.06(Nuclear Science & Technology)Data processing system in JT-60 has been used CAMAC widely for control and data acquisition of plasma diagnostic. However, it has passed over fifteen years from the operation, and the problem is caused for maintenance and function enhancement by the deterioration. Then, Mini-computer and microcomputer ,which control the CAMAC system were replaced workstation based on UNIX-OS, and these system were remodeled by developing the application software for screen control by GUI and for constructing environment of remote diagnostic through the network. In addition, CAMAC device driver for Linux has been developed in for next CAMAC control system.
