Abstract

This paper presents the control system of the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) hall’s gates. Introduce the design’s background of this control system, and the introduction of EAST is presented briefly as well. According to the radiation shielding and convenience, gate’s control system is discussed and introduced. Three control logics are designed to give corresponding control actions. To have a proper control signal for the gates’ opening or closing, three control logics are processed and proper timer’s time Ti is set in MCU2. By means of open collectors and relays, motors’ rotation is realized. The gates’ opening and closing at some proper positions are controlled by position switches designed in this control system.
