Central Interlock System Engineering Services

The ITER Interlock Control System (ICS) is the ITER Control System in charge of the implementation of the investment protection mechanisms at ITER through the automated execution of interlock functions. It is composed of the Central Interlock System (CIS), procured by PBS.46, and of several Plant Interlock Systems (PIS), provided by other plant systems.
The CIS will implement the control logic in charge of the execution of the central interlock functions, which aims at the coordination and supervision of the locally distributed PIS. For this, an architecture composed of slow (PLC), fast (FPGA based embedded controllers) and hardwired (engineered for highest reliability) technologies, following the IEC-61508 standards, has been designed.

In addition, the CIS provides support for the development of the PIS, in the way of interface and PIS prototyping, software template management, guideline creation or participation in FAT, SAT, installation and commissioning activities.
The purpose of the contract is to provide support services for the CIS team in a broad variety of activities and technologies. This support will be provided both on-site and off-site.
