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 four-day training sessions with both presentations and exercises. The agenda typically looks like this:

  • Day 1: Core System Overview / EPICS introduction / Self-Description Data tools (SDD) / Development workflow
  • Day 2: EPICS database / Fast controllers
  • Day 3: Slow controllers (PLC) / State Notation Language (SNL) / Other Controller (POC) integration
  • Day 4: Control System Studio (CSS) / Software delivery

It is very important to choose your training time wisely with regard to your plant system development progress, so that you can get maximum knowledge of the latest CODAC 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 that you look through the training videos available at the ITER E-Learning Centre (intranet site).

The next workshops and seminars will take place:

  • Hands-On Workshop 15-18 October 2024, ITER Organization, France (remote participation is possible)
  • Hands-On Workshop in March 2025 (exact date TBD), ITER Organization, France (remote participation is possible)

In order to request participation in the training, please send the following information to @email:

  1. Your full name, email address and affiliation
  2. Workshop or seminar you want to attend. Workshops are sized to accommodate 15 people max
  3. (For Domestic Agencies/Industry) the name of the plant system and Procurement Arrangement you are working on or planning to work on
  4. Names of your ITER contact persons, if you have any (e.g., ITER Organization Technical Responsible Officer)
  5. Indication of areas of particular interest in the workshop (PLCs, fast controllers, digitizers, real-time control, ...)

Upon confirmation of your booking you will be duly informed. We will also arrange the creation of necessary ITER accounts where necessary.

Unless otherwise noted, the training sessions are organized at ITER Headquarters in Saint-Paul-lez-Durance, France. Participation is free of charge. In the case you need visa formalities to enter France, please book your participation at least 2 months in advance.
