NSTX-U Digital Coil Protection System Software Detailed Design
Authors: Keith G. Erickson, Gregory J. Tchilinguirian, Ronald E. Hatcher, William M. Davis
Abstract: The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) currently uses a collection of analog signal processing solutions for coil protection. Part of the NSTX Upgrade (NSTX-U) entails replacing these analog systems with a software solution running on a conventional computing platform. The new Digital Coil Protection System (DCPS) will replace the old systems entirely, while also providing an extensible framework that allows adding new functionality as desired.
