Description
The ITER procurement strategy mixes systems delivered in-fund and in-kind, this complicates considerably the integration of the whole interlock system. In oder to cope with this, the interlocks design and integration strategy is based on guidelines and template codes developed by the central team for easing the work of the plant sytem developers and mitigating future integration risks. This talk presents the tools developed by the ITER central team for ensuring the integrability of a robust ITER machine protection sytem which still leaves some room to cope with the operational flexibility required by such a complex system as the ITER tokamak.
