1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Objective

This technical note discusses the architecture of plant system I&C. The objectives are to identify and define the plant system I&C components and their relations, to analyze the feasibility of implementing different types of plant system I&C using these components and to identify any weaknesses and problems in the approach.

This document is part of the PCDH documentation package (Fig 1.1).

Figure 1.1 Schema of PCDH documents

1.2 Assumptions

The starting point of the analysis is the CODAC conceptual design [RD1] and the Plant Control Design Handbook (PCDH) [RD2]. Design decisions taken during last year are incorporated, in particular the decision to use Siemens Simatic S7, EPICS and channel access communication middleware. This technical note does not address the safety control systems.

2 PHYSICAL ARCHITECTURE Any plant system I&C is made up of a set of standard components. These standard components can be selected and combined in different ways to address the particular plant system I&C characteristics and requirements. The set of components can be viewed like Lego blocks to be assembled by the plant system I&C designer.

The baseline physical network topology is flat, i.e. all components are connected to the Plant Operation Network (PON) via a switch as illustrated in Figure 2.1 [RD4]. Although it is possible to physically connect components in a hierarchical way using private networks, this is not recommended since it will make remote maintenance more difficult. For example, a development station for a controller (not shown) could be connected anywhere on the PON and reach the target controller. The Central Interlock Network (CIN) is an independent network connecting the interlock controller to the Central Interlock System. The High Performance Networks (HPN) are physically separated networks, which may connect to the Plant System Host and/or fast controllers depending on the particular plant system I&C. All network connections are provided in CODAC hutches and network panels are distributed throughout all ITER site buildings.

The HPN lines pointing to the grey area indicate a possible connection as detailed in Chapter 3.

Actuators and sensors are considered outside the scope of plant system I&C.

Figure 2.1 Illustration of a possible plant system I&C physical architecture. Lines are cables.

2.1 OSI layer 2 switch

The OSI layer 2 switch is an IO furnished standard Ethernet switch which allows full management of the Plant Operation Network (PON). The OSI layer 2 switch is installed in a plant system I&C cubicle. There are one or more OSI layer 2 switches in a particular plant system I&C.

ITER_D_32GEBH

2.2 Plant System Host

The Plant System Host (PSH) is an IO furnished hardware and software component installed in a plant system I&C cubicle. There is one and only one PSH in a plant system I&C. The PSH runs RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and has an EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) soft IOC (Input Output Controller). It provides standard CODAC services such as health monitoring, maintenance functions and time source. The PSH is fully data driven, i.e. it is customized for a particular plant system I&C by self-description. There is no plant specific code in a PSH. A PSH has no I/O.

2.3 Fast Controller

A fast controller is a dedicated industrial controller implemented in PCI family form factor with PCIe communication fabric installed in a plant system I&C cubicle. There may be zero, one or many fast controllers in a plant system I&C. A fast controller runs RHEL and has EPICS IOC, it acts as a channel access server and exposes process variables (PV) [RD3] to PON. A fast controller normally has I/O and the IO supports a set of standard I/O modules with associated EPICS drivers. A fast controller may have interfaces to high performance networks (HPN), i.e. the Synchronous Databus Network (SDN) for plasma control, Time Communication Network (TCN) for absolute time and pre-programmed triggers and/or Audio Video Network (AVN) for video transfers. Fast controllers involved in critical real-time operations run a RT enabled (TBD) version of Linux on a separate core or CPU. A fast controller can have plant-specific logic and can act as supervisor for other fast controllers and/or slow controllers. The Plant System Operating State is maintained by the supervising controller..

2.4 Slow Controller

A slow controller is a Siemens Simatic S7 industrial programmable logic controller (PLC) installed in a plant system I&C cubicle. There may be zero, one or many slow controllers in a plant system I&C. A slow controller runs software and plant-specific logic programmed with Step 7 and interfaces to either the PSH or a fast controller using an IO-furnished interface (EPICS driver and self description). A slow controller normally has I/O and the IO supports a set of standard I/O modules. A slow controller has no interface to the HPN. A slow controller can synchronize its time using NTP over PON. A slow controller can act as supervisor for other slow controllers. The Plant System Operating State is maintained by the supervising controller.

2.5 Interlock Controller

An interlock controller is a Siemens Simatic S7 FH industrial programmable logic controller (PLC) installed in a plant system I&C cubicle, possibly with hardwired logic for high performance protection functions. There may be zero, one or many interlock controllers in a plant system I&C. An interlock controller runs software and plant specific logic programmed with Step 7, interfaces to the Central Interlock System and to either a slow controller or a fast controller using digital I/O, depending on the functional requirements. An interlock controller normally has I/O and IO supports a set of standard I/O modules. An interlock controller can act as supervisor for other interlock controllers.

2.6 COTS Intelligent Device

A COTS intelligent device is a commercial off-the-shelf controller, which implements an integrated control function, e.g. a building management system or a power supply controller (such as intelligent electronic devices as defined by IEC 61850). A COTS intelligent device has an ethernet interface and is considered a black box in the ITER I&C System. A COTS intelligent device can be physically connected either to the OSI layer 2 switch or as a slave to a slow or fast controller. It is the responsibility of the plant system I&C developer to design and implement an interface, either to a slow controller or to a fast controller. The use of a COTS intelligent device in a plant system I&C has to be approved by the IO through the deviations policy defined in [RD2]. A COTS intelligent device is not maintained by the IO.

ITER_D_32GEBH

2.7 Remote I/O

A remote I/O device is an I/O chassis, with or without intelligence, geographically separated from other plant system I&C components. A remote I/O device is connected to a slow controller or fast controller via a network or fieldbus. The IO provides a catalogue of standard remote I/O devices. An intelligent remote I/O device can be EPICS enabled and viewed as a fast controller from the CODAC System / Mini-CODAC.

2.8 Signal Interface

A signal interface is the mechanics, cabling and electronics between the actuators/sensors and the controllers. Signal interfaces are described in [RD5].

2.9 Cubicles

The components (switches, PSH, fast and slow controllers, part of signal interface) are embedded within cubicles defined in an IO catalogue of products. The unit for hardware delivery between the PS suppliers and IO, is a cubicle together with spare parts.

2.10 CODAC Terminal

A CODAC terminal is a standard terminal, connected to PON, providing a display unit and input devices (keyboard and mouse) to allow a human user to interact with the plant system I&C.

2.11 High Performance Networks

High performance networks are physically dedicated networks to implement functions which are not achievable with the conventional Plant Operation Network. These functions are distributed real-time feedback control, high accuracy time synchronization and bulk video distribution.

2.12 CODAC System / Mini-CODAC

The CODAC System / Mini-CODAC is not part of the plant system I&C. Mini-CODAC, which is a scaled down version of the CODAC System, is provided by the IO to all plant system I&C developers as a software package. Mini-CODAC provides all of the tools necessary to configure the plant system I&C using self-description, to implement the HMI, to monitor and supervise the plant system I&C, to configure and manage the network and to perform the factory acceptance test. The early use of Mini-CODAC in the development process will make later on-site integration seamless. Future versions of Mini-CODAC will support HPN, CIS and CSS. The CODAC System also receives data from the Central Interlock System to be displayed via the HMI and to be archived for post-mortem analysis following an interlock event.

2.13 Central Interlock System

The Central Interlock System (CIS) is not part of the plant system I&C. The Central Interlock System provides all necessary tools to configure the interlock controller(s) using self-description, to monitor and supervise the interlock controller(s), to configure and manage the CIN and to carry out the inter-plant protection functions. Future versions of Mini-CODAC will support CIS.
