Abstract

This thesis reviews the magnetics integrator for the ITER magnetic diagnostics,to be delivered by Fusion For Energy (F4E) and being delivered by "Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear" (IPFN) and the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE). Based on the work conducted at the Control, Data Access and Communication (CODAC) group at F4E in the scope of a traineeship, this thesis focuses on two key aspects of the diagnostic: the integrator board architecture; and the real-time distribution of the acquired data using the ITER Synchronous Databus Network (SDN). The main technical and design challenges and development phases are presented, as well as the data analysis that validates the design choices for the integrator board.
