Abstract :
The paper deals with the design and implementation of the machine control system for the HT-7 tokamak, at present under construction in Hefei, China. This is a distributed system which achieves a balance between performance and cost. A powerful UNIX workstation with a CAMAC serial highway serves as the system supervisor. Man-machine interface is based on the industry standard X Window system. Programmable logical controllers are used for subsystems
