Xpsedit: Pulse schedule editor (solaris)

Xmimic: Mimics of subsystems (solaris)

KL-1 replay: Replay of pulse videos (JAC)


XpseditXpsedit Xpsedit provides an interface to level-1 control software for uploading to the plant

parameters and settings prior a pulse Type of interface depends on the subsystem to be configured as SL: default should be jet.conf ( “File”-menu “Open config file” select “jet.conf”) Pulses are prepared as “Pulse Types”, which are organised in “Pulse schedules” Settings of an old pulse can be retrieved as DAP (“Dial-A-Pulse)

Xpsedit – getting startedXpsedit – getting started logon on solaris (gen-off or gen-on)

start Xpsedit

Create your own schedule inOfficial/Training2010/myname

Modify title page and write title page ( “Pulsetype”-menu

“Write title page”)


Xpsedit – getting started (2)Xpsedit – getting started (2) Append pulse type

Read pulse type reference Schedule: Official/PlasmaOpsGroup/Training2010Pulsetype 0001 or 0002

Copy reference to your pulse type( “Edit”-menu “Copy ALL except Session Info”)

Save pulse type


Xpsedit – checksXpsedit – checks Xpsedit automatically checks JOIs when pulse is saved. Clicking on “FAILED” directs to the corresponding JOI-page and further on to the level-1 page Remember: although level-1 checks some JOIs electronically, it is still your responsibility that

your pulse is in accordance with JOIs!

Don’t worry, while still ontrainee license

Correct protection to comply with JOI

Check TF-waveform and RF-frequency


Xpsedit – editingXpsedit – editing

Each page contains list of parameters and waveforms, which are settable by the SL

Some parameters/waveforms appear simultanously on several pages

level-1 checks validity of parameters (number is red => invalid!)

Colour-code: =Parameter modified; =Reference value is different

Some parameters are derived by algorithms based on your settings=> re-run algorithm if changes to your pulsetype have been done

“Append pulse type” => creates new pulse type after last PT in schedule

“Insert pulse type” => creates new pulse type after chosen PT

“Globel edit parameter” => changes one parameter in all PTs of a schedule

to see parameters loaded on plant: in control room => set plant as referencein office => show plant snapshot

Xpsedit – pagesXpsedit – pages Main page: general info about the pulse, Ip-control, PF-currents, Density, TF, excerts of

Breakdown settings

PPCC Breakdown: detailed settings of IP- and PF-control up to 40.35 sec for Mode B or 40.8 sec for Mode D.

PPCC Control: overview of control modes as a result of main page settings

Power supply page: used for PS-commissioning

Turns & Polarities: check for correct PF-/TF-settings when dialing up old pulses

PS, CPS & PPCC-limits: for information (max current and voltages of TF-/PF-power supplies)

Gas (normal): basic settings of GIMs (dosing, feedback, puff)

Gas (advanced): additional settings to select GIMs into RTCC anddensity feedback settings (PID)

PDV-settings: specify diagnostic channels to be used for density validation during pulse

R. Felton, “RTC&Protection”, Wed.

Xpsedit – pages (cont’d)Xpsedit – pages (cont’d) PFPS-page: main plasma protection page (=> check!) RTPP-page: (voluntary) additional protection settings (e.g. GIM-stop for low NBI-power)

External systems: settings of other inputs to PTN

(=> check, but normally does not require changes)

RTSS: construct your own Real Time Signals for protection (e.g. Prad divided by Pin)

PEWS-page: set plant protection when operating with auxiliary heating systems

(common mistake: wrong PEWS-scenario) Heating & Fuelling requirements: specifiy heating waveforms, RF-frequency, Pellet requests

(check for sensible plasma protection settings!) PRFA-controller: specify EFCC-waveforms

Maxfea Interface: produce circuit file for Maxfea-simulations

Extended waveform facilities: useful to quickly extend pulse

Flight simulator: shows overview of expected current waveforms, forces, etc.

“The big picture”: displays major waveforms, heating windows and active protection windows
