  In 2010, Control System Studio (CSS) was chosen for CODAC - the central control system of ITER - as the development and runtime integrated environment for local control systems. It became quickly necessary to contribute to CSS development effort - after all, CODAC team wants to be sure that the tools that are being used by the seven ITER members all over the world continue to be available and to be improved. In order to integrate CSS main components in its framework, CODAC team needed first to adapt them to its standard platform based on Linux 64-bits and PostgreSQL database. Then, user feedback started to emerge as well as the need for an industrial symbol library to represent pump, valve or electrical breaker states on the operator interface and the requirement to automatically send an email when a new alarm is raised. It also soon became important for CODAC team to be able to publish its contributions quickly and to adapt its own infrastructure for that. This paper describes ITER increasing contribution to the CSS development effort and the future plans to address factory and site acceptance tests of the local control systems.

  ITER will consist of roughly 200 plant systems I&C (in total millions of variables) delivered in kind which need to be integrated into the ITER control infrastructure. To integrate them in a smooth way, CODAC team releases every year the Core Software environment which consists of many applications. This paper focuses on the self description data toolkit implementation, a fully home-made ITER product. The SDD model has been designed with Hibernate/Spring to provide required information to generate configuration files for CODAC services such as archiving, EPICS, alarm, SDN, basic HMIs, etc. Users enter their configuration data via GUIs based on web application and Eclipse. Snapshots of I&C projects can be dumped to XML. Different levels of validation corresponding to various stages of development have been implemented: it enables during integration, verification that I&C projects are compliant with our standards. The development of I&C projects continues with Maven utilities. In 2012, a new Eclipse perspective has been developed to allow user to develop codes, to start their projects, to develop new HMIs, to retrofit their data in SDD database and to checkout/commit from/to SVN.
