There are over 50 distinguishable systems in the Local Control and Instrumentation System (LCIS) of the Mirror Fusion Test Facility. It became clear that as much as possible a common hardware system or foundation system should be used. This foundation system consists of three major subsystems, the LSI-11 computer, the fiber optic communication links, and the CAMAC system. The LSI-11 computer includes a 32 K word memory, a serial interface that communicates with the supervisor computer, and the serial driver, which provides serial CAMAC protocols and the block transfer function. The fiber optic links are duplex-links of optical transmitters, receivers, and fiber cables. These links carry information between the LSL-11 computer and the CAMAC system, which are more than 200 m apart.
