CODAC Core System Hands-on Workshop

Along with the CODAC Core System product the ITER CODAC team also provides hands-on workshops, where participants can learn how to build their own I&C system using the Core System toolkit and real hardware (PLCs, fast controllers, digital and analogue I/O boards, ...). The workshops are 3-4 days training sessions having presentations and exercises mixed. The agenda typically looks like this:

Day 1: Core System Overview / EPICS introduction / Self-Description Data tools (SDD) / Development workflow
Day 2: Control System Studio (CSS) / State Notation Language (SNL)
Day 3: Fast controllers / EPICS database
Day 4: Slow controllers (PLC) / Software delivery / I&C-specific Q&A

It is very important to choose your training time wisely with regard to your plant system development progress, so that you could get maximum knowledge of the CODAC latest software and hardware at the right time of your development. Our recommendation is to sign up for a training session by the time your I&C design is advanced enough to proceed with implementation. If you are just looking for a general idea of what the CODAC Core System is, we recommend you to attend a reduced version of the training (CODAC Seminar) instead of a full training. This type of training takes a couple of hours only.
