Abstract

Attention is given to the Burning Plasma Experiment (BPX) instrumentation and control system, which provides supervision, remote control, monitoring, data acquisition, and data handling for BPX subsystems. Researchers located at the BPX site and other universities/laboratories will have access to the facility in support of the remote operation, physics planning, analysis, and coordination of experimental objectives for BPX. BPX instrumentation and control (I&C) must support two types of subsystems: engineering-like secure systems and physics-like flexible systems. Consideration is given to the BPX I&C system requirements and system design, and to future plans
