Abstract: A real-time profile control system based on PCI-bus modules has been installed in the existing plasma control system (PCS) to control high performance plasmas. In profile control, pre-programmed profile reference data, which are two-dimensional, must be manipulated as the other mono-dimensional pre-programmed reference data such as plasma current in the discharge parameter set-up and in the post-discharge data archiving process, to re-use of the existing man–machine communication tools. An preprogram algorithm number was introduced to allow the change not only of control gains but also of control algorithm during a discharge, providing flexibility and extensibility to cope with future requirements coming from control studies that are now in progress. This system has been successfully applied to safety factor profile control by lower hybrid radio frequency heating system. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
