A Supervisory Control Method for Neutron Scattering Superconducting Magnet

A supervisory control for neutron scattering superconducting magnet is proposed in this paper, which adopts hierarchical control strategy. In the field layer, programmable logic controller (PLC) based on monitoring control and data acquisition system is used for automatic control of various working conditions. PLC and upper monitoring computer are independent of each other in the equipment control layer, and independent operation is not dependent on the upper computer, which ensures the independence and safety of the process. The running parameters of superconducting magnet can be detected in real-time with the coverage of local area network (LAN), and the significant equipment of neutron scattering superconducting magnet can be controlled by using real-time control method in the mobile environment. In case of abnormal situation, the backfeed control will be used to realize remote alarm and other functions, which ensures the normal running of neutron scattering superconducting magnet safely and reliably.
