The Central Control System for EAST

The Central Control System (CCS) for EAST tokamak is developed to coordinate and harmonize all of the plant systems, control and diagnostic subsystems. The Central Control System is designed and implemented as a distributed system to support the EAST tokamak device. The major components of the Central Control System are process control, synchronization, interlock and network system. This paper describes the details about the system architecture, software development and networks deployment.
