Abstract

The ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF) is currently under construction at Consorzio RFX, Padova, Italy. The NBTF includes two experimental devices: SPIDER for the study of the ion source and MITICA for the development of the full-size HNB prototype. Even if the two experiments share many architectural aspects in their Control and Data Acquisition System (CODAS), there are nevertheless some significant differences because MITICA must adhere to ITER’s directives for plant control design. This paper describes the architecture of the MITICA timing system that represents one of the first examples of integration of IEEE1588 timing functions in fusion research medium-scale experiments.
