BEPCⅡ低温控制系统研制

北京正负电子对撞机重大改造工程(BEPCⅡ)首次应用低温超导技术建造低温系统.低温控制系统通过控制前端低温系统的压力、液位、流量和功率等过程变量,分别产生饱和液氦、两相氦和过冷的单相液氦,使用这三种不同形式的氦流来冷却超导设备.低温控制系统采用EPICS+PLC双层架构体系,实现对前端低温超导设备的全自动控制.EPICS主要完成低温系统的过程控制、逻辑控制和PID闭环控制;PLC负责前端关键设备的联锁控制,用于保护低温超导设备的安全.     

The cryogenic control system of BEPCⅡ

A superconducting cryogenic system has been designed and deployed in the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider Upgrade Project (BEPCⅡ). The system consists of a Siemens PLC (S7-PLC, Programmable Logic Controller) for the compressor control, an Allen Bradley (AB) PLC for the cryogenic equipments, and the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) that integrates the PLCs. The system fully automates the superconducting cryogenic control with process control, PID (Proportional-Integral-Differential) control loops, real-time data access and data storage, alarm handler and human machine interface. It is capable of automatic recovery as well. This paper describes the BEPCⅡ cryogenic control system, data communication between S7-PLC and EPICS Input/Output Controllers (IOCs), and the integration of the flow control, the low level interlock, the AB-PLC, and EPICS.
