SPIDER, ITER's full-size beam source at the Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF), has been operational since 2018. SPIDER's mission is to optimize the operation of the beam source in order to reuse SPIDER's experience on MITICA, the full-size prototype of the ITER Neutral Beam Injector, and in the ITER injectors. The exploitation of SPIDER started with short, low-performance pulses lasting up to a few seconds and progressed to obtain long pulses up to 3000 seconds. Furthermore, the integration of plant and diagnostic systems has grown over time. The amount of data collected per pulse provide a measure of evolution: it has gone from a few tens of MB in the first campaign pulses to the current average value of over 130 GB, most of which produced by infrared and visible cameras. From the first operation onwards, the control systems have also evolved, including components and functions initially not foreseen or developed in a preliminary form. This includes the progressive integration of plant and diagnostic systems and of protection and safety functions. The paper initially focuses on the architecture of the SPIDER control systems, i.e. CODAS, the system delivering conventional control and data management, the central interlock system, delivering plant protection, and the central safety system delivering people and environment safety. Since we developed all systems according to the ITER guidelines for implementing control systems, the integrated SPIDER control, interlock and safety systems may provide an interesting example for developers of ITER plant systems. The paper then describes how the top-down definition and implementation of operating states and operational scenarios provides the framework for the integration of control, interlock and safety systems and the basic elements for successful operation. Finally, the paper reports the lessons learned during these years of operation with particular attention to the progressive, continuous evolution and recommissioning of systems.

This document describes in depth the CODAS user machine interface for the MITICA Gas and Vacuum System (MITICA GVS). It describes the general mimic template and the pages developed as close as possible to the local HMI procured by the supplier. The developed graphic user interface allows the operator to visualize state and measurement data of the equipment. Through the HMI, operator can read the current state of the plant, analyse the alarms and, set target parameters.

This document describes in depth the CODAS user machine interface for the MITICA COOLING System. It describes the general mimic template, the symbols and components conventions and all the screens representing the MITICA COOLING System that is composed by several interconnected sub-systems: Primary Circuits (PC05, PC06, PC07, PC08. PC09, PC10), Secondary circuits (SC01 and SC02), Tertiary Circuit (TC01 and TC02), and Chemical Control System (CSS1, CSS2, CH1, CH2). The interface with CODAS system requires other mimics for parameters configuration, Local/remote procedures, interface with Interlock System, and for State Machine transitions.

RFX-mod2 is an upgrade of RFX-mod that will use a modified shell and mechanical structure in order to enhance plasma-shell proximity and therefore to improve plasma control. The Control and Data Acquisition System for most of the plant systems and diagnostics previously used in RFX-mod will be refurbished, while others will be completely re-built. The most important component that will be completely renewed is the ElectroMagnetic probe (EM) data acquisition system, where a new architecture based on XILINX Zynq FPGA will be used to carry out at the same time both high-speed data acquisition and resampled data streaming for active plasma control. The use of MDSplus will be retained in RFX-mod2, while the MARTe framework used for real-time plasma control will be replaced by MARTe2, a new framework developed under strict software quality standards. Plant control in RFX-mod2 will be supervised by WinCC-OA, replacing the previous FactoryLink SCADA systems. Older plant systems such as vacuum control based on outdated S5 PLCs will be updated and will use OPC-UA for communication with the supervisory control system.
