Live proof-of-concept demonstration

On 21-22 January, the CODAC group organized a face-to-face meeting at the ITER site with representatives from the Domestic Agencies in Russia, India, Korea, Japan, United States and Europe. The current development status, as well as a roadmap for future work, was presented. Finally, the members of the CODAC Project Management Working Group (PMWG) witnessed the demonstration of the plant system host "proof-of-concept." The plant system host is, together with high performance networks, the single interface between central CODAC and all local plant system instrumentation and control (I&C). It is a standard component, provided by the ITER Organization, and customized by means of configuration for each plant system. The plant system host is a key component in order to achieve a fully integrated ITER control system.
