Control systems are essential for the operation of fusion devices to support the integrate automatic functioning of all systems. IPFN completencies in this area are well recognized worldwide. The contract with ITER and F4E result from a R&D vertical strategy for the development of microwave diagnostics and control and data acquisition systems, that started in the early 90’s with the sole Portuguese device for research in nuclear fusion, the tokamak ISTTOK.
The main achievements of the team include the development of control and data acquisition systems for JET (jet.efda.org), several European fusion devices (Germany, UK, Spain, Czech Republic) and Brazil. The development of ATCA systems has been key in this strategy.
