Abstract
The design and construction of the electronic instrumentation, in its hardware and software phases, for the new automatic system that supervises and controls the capacitor bank charge of the Novillo Tokamak and carries out the discharge process, are presented. A microcontroller was used as the central device to perform the control, supervision, and safety functions. The programming of this microcontroller consists of both the assembler language of the device and the ‘C’ language that manages the microcontroller's assembler language and provides a friendly human–machine interface software. The system includes evaluation capabilities for the capacitor charge process. Likewise, the safety measures implemented by the software, inhibit any Tokamak operation posing potential risks of injury to the human operators or damage to the device. Experimental results for the Novillo Tokamak charge and discharge processes are presented.
