PLC based Interlock Workshop CIS Team February 2016 ITER Central Interlock System Fast Interlock Controller
CERN ITER PLC based interlock workshop February 2016 Requirements 2 Some central interlock functions require a response time which cannot be implemented by the chosen PLC architecture. Central interlock functions requiring faster than 300 ms response time mainly involve heating (EC H&CD, IC H&CD, NB H&CD), fuelling (DMS) and PCS. Requirements for fast architecture: No SIL certification is required, but the studies and developments shall be supported with a formal analysis, as described per IEC and the Interlock Control System Quality Specific Plan [ITER_D_BGSZW9] Cope with availability (99.9%) and reliability (99,6% over two 8-h shifts) by implementing some redundant solution Integrity level up to 3IL-3 (PFH < ) Fail-safe solution (deterministic state in case of internal error) Response time between 100µs and 300ms Integrate commercial off-the-shelf solutions Hardwired and Ethernet communications The Fast Interlock system will be integrated in the ICS and will communicate via hardwired links with other slow or fast interlock controllers, as well as with the Plasma Control System (PCS).

CERN ITER PLC based interlock workshop February 2016 Fast PIS Hardware Architecture 5 Generic fast PIS controller solution: 2oo3 Double-Decker System The 2oo3 Double Decker architecture showed the best overall performance in terms of availability and reliability. The voter is implemented in the FPGA; hence it does not require en external voter unit and thus enables capabilities that can provide a higher level of safety. The two chassis allow for a diagnostic strategy that will increase the SFF. Also, this solution can be adapted as a F-CIS module solution. Compact Rio Modules for Fast Interlock Controllers

CERN ITER PLC based interlock workshop February 2016 Fast PIS – PC Host 13 The interlock critical data of the F-PIS or F-CIS module will be transmitted via hardwire links. The interlock non-critical data (diagnostics) and the communication with both interlock desk and engineering workstation would be done using ethernet CIN-P connected to an attached Fast Controller Server. The server will be also used to send all the field data to CODAC (e.g. via PON) The time synchronization for the fast controller will used the TCN FMEDA Analysis for the 2oo3SD Double Decker Diagnostic and Improvement of the Safe Failure Fraction Figures (SFF) (N62LS6) Reference Documentation:
