Description
The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility-DEMO-Oriented Neutron Source (IFMIF-DONES), a cutting-edge accelerator-based neutron source for fusion materials research. IFMIF-DONES Facility Project involves a particle accelerator that produces a deuterons beam of 40 MeV and 125 mA, impacting on a flowing liquid lithium target, generating the neutron source by nuclear stripping reaction, therefore a robust central control system for safe and efficient operation.
The current Machine Protection System (MPS) Interlock Signal List comprises more than 3,600 interlock signals distributed across 42 systems. This work presents an optimization approach where each Local MPS generates, as a general rule, only one Functional Interlock Event upstream to the Satellite Units, while only a few systems may generate up to three different Functional Interlock types. This reduces the upstream signals from over 3,600 to a range between 42 and approximately 52 signals, significantly simplifying cabling and system complexity while maintaining full flexibility for future expansions.
