摘要
The TEXTOR tokamak for technology-oriented research in Julich has been in operation since 1981. Its control system consists basically of a CAMAC computer system (PDP-11) for remote control and display, linked to programmable controllers (SlEMENS 83) for subsystem control via fibre optic cables. Due to several reasons, an upgrade of this well-established control system has become unavoidable. The main objective for this process is to provide better availability and reliability for another decade of operation and to reduce maintenance costs significantly. In this respect all CAMAC instrumentation had to be preserved completely. The paper describes in detail the background, design and layout of the new control system. Because upgrading an existing control system substantially differs from constructing a new system for a new device, special attention is given to the steps of achieving a smooth upgrade procedure that avoids unnecessary interferences with the TEXTOR operation.
