Abstract
A complete software suite for integrated tokamak plasma control has been developed within the DIII-D program. The suite consists of software for real-time control of all aspects of the plasma, modeling, simulation and design tools for analysis and development of controllers, a flexible and modular architecture for implementation and testing of algorithms and many fully validated models. Many elements of the system have been applied to and implemented on NSTX and MAST. The DIII-D realtime plasma control system together with the integrated modeling and simulation suite have been selected for operational use by both the KSTAR and EAST tokamaks, and are also being used at General Atomics to investigate control issues for ITER.
