CODAC Core System

CODAC Core System is the development and interface kit for plant system instrumentation and control (I&C) based on the widely used open source software suites EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) and CSS (Control System Studio). CODAC Core System runs on mini-CODAC, plant system host and fast controllers and provides an interface to slow controllers (PLC) and third-party controllers.

The CODAC team has selected a strategy to release this software at regular intervals with added functionality and increased robustness. New releases are produced at least once a year. The latest version is 7.2.1, released in October 2024. CODAC Operational Applications, aiming to facilitate ITER I&C systems integration and acceptance tests, are equally available for installation with this release.

Users who contribute to the development of ITER I&C System such as ITER Domestic Agencies, institutes associated with the Domestic Agencies or industry working for ITER through contracts must become registered ITER CODAC users in order to benefit from CODAC support and dedicated software distribution. Such users are invited to provide the following information to the address @email:

  • first name
  • last name
  • email
  • affiliation
  • postal address
  • ITER Organization contact person
  • justification
