Design Of Control System For 1.7mv Tandetron Accelerator by PLC and SCADA

Tandetron Accelerator often used in nuclear power plants for ion beam exposure on the material for its character analysis, ion implantation and nuclear irradiation astrophysics research. The investigation of irradiation flaws in nuclear materials and experimental methodologies for developing effective solutions for material performance evaluation and optimization in radiation exposures done through Tandetron Accelerator. Any human error will harm the closed loop control system operation of Tandetron accelerators due to high voltage excitation. Certain interlocks must be built to overcome the situations and integration of sensor signals. A visualization design of interlock safety system is developed to monitor and control the 1.7MV Tandetron Accelerator Beam focussing on sample material using PLC and SCADA based on the Tilt angle, Azimuthal angle and Incident angle. The safety interlocks for tandetron accelerator programmed in ladder logic by PLC programming software in DELTA ISP 3.08 for monitoring the digital signals controlled by potentiometer. An attempt is made to develop Indigenous safety PLC – SCADA SIMATIC WinCC V7 based interlock control system for the Tandetron accelerator operation to monitor and regulate the various digital sensor signals.
