Abstract

As a part of a communication system in a safety Digital Control System (DCS) applied in a nuclear power plant, multipoint communication network mostly influences the information obtained by operator and inter-stations correctly. Traditional communication systems where some special features, such as reliability, safety, real-time, certainty, independent etc. are not strictly required are various illustrated, However, how to implement a communication system in a safety DCS is rarely stated in current research. In this paper, safety multipoint communication systems are discussed, which also analyses requirement of a safety network. Furthermore, a method is proposed where FPGAs are employed to implement nuclear safety multipoint networks with high efficiency in this paper. Finally, a positive conclusion is also delivered after experimental results being given.
