Title: NSTX-U Digital Coil Protection System Software Detailed Design

Conference · · IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, Conference proceedings
OSTI ID:1172636

The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) currently uses a collection of analog signal processing solutions for coil protection. Part of the NSTX Upgrade (NSTX-U) entails replacing these analog systems with a software solution running on a conventional computing platform. The new Digital Coil Protection System (DCPS) will replace the old systems entirely, while also providing an extensible framework that allows adding new functionality as desired.
