Abstract
Results on the integration and the operation of the KSTAR plasma control system (PCS) upgrade are given. Real-time hardware, new realtime-capable operating system, and a brand-new data acquisition are assembled in order to extend the performance and compatibility with modern computer systems. The first full commissioning and eventual routine use performed in 2016 so that the system can now acquire more than 400 channels for more than 100 seconds of data with 5 kHz sampling. The performance test results are summarized, featuring In/Out streaming echo tests and the synchronization verifications. Examples of general performance improvements are demonstrated, and additional features added to the software are also described.
