Abstract
Tearing modes (TMs) degrade the performance of tokamak plasma, and can even lead to disruption. Using externally exerted resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) to suppress TM is a promising and effective way. In order to suppress the 2/1 TM, 2/1 RMP must be applied in given phase regions to stabilize magnetic island and accelerate island rotation. The RMP feedback control system acquires the multiple-channel poloidalMirnov signal, processes the acquired data and calculates the magnetic island phase in real time, and switches on the RMP power supply when the phase is in the designated region. The feedback control system is based on NI cRIO and developed mainly using LabVIEW field-programmable gate array. The typical 2/1 mode magnetic island on J-TEXT rotates at a frequency from 2 to 10 kHz. To ensure the control precision within 2°, the control period must be within 500 ns. Due to the noisy characteristic of the Mirnov signal, the feedback control system uses a series of error correction methods in real time to obtain accurate phase. Various control strategies have been adopted to exploit the RMP coil and power supply. Observable result is presented in this paper.
