Design and Implementation of Control System for Ultra-high Temperature Molten Salt Pump Test Facility Based on EPICS

  • 摘要: 针对超高温熔盐泵(工作温度≥700 °C)在极端工况下对控制系统提出的抗强热辐射干扰、克服高温环境信号漂移与器件热变形、保障长周期高可靠性运行等严苛要求,设计并实现了一套基于EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System)的分布式控制系统,结合MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport)协议与Unreal Engine (UE)引擎构建了跨地区三维可视化监控平台。为满足高温环境下的高精度、高可靠性与实时性需求,系统采用分层架构(监控层、控制层、现场层),基于 EPICS开源框架构建了分布式实时控制与监控系统,设计并实现了EPICS IOC (Input/Output Controller)同时作为实时控制器与数据传输中间件的运行机制。采用基于EtherCAT总线的工业级IO模块,其优异的抗干扰能力以及纳秒级的同步采样精度,有效保障了高温复杂流场环境下的高精度的高速数据采集与控制信号的传输。工程应用表明,该系统在700 °C高温及复杂流场下保持持续稳定运行。相比传统方案,其人机交互性显著提升,操作响应时间缩短至<1 s,数据同步误差降低至<0.2% (满量程范围内),为第四代核反应堆关键部件的测试验证提供了高可靠、高性能的控制系统技术方案。

     

    Abstract: To address the stringent requirements for ultra-high-temperature molten salt pumps (operating temperature \geqslant 700 °C) in extreme conditions—including resistance to strong thermal radiation interference, overcoming signal drift and component thermal deformation in high-temperature environments, and ensuring long-term, highly reliable operation—a distributed control system based on EPICS was designed and implemented. Combined with the MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport)protocol and Unreal Engine (UE), a cross-regional 3D visualization monitoring platform was constructed. To meet the demands for high precision, high reliability, and real-time performance in high-temperature environments, the system adopts a layered architecture (supervisory layer, control layer, field layer). A distributed real-time control and monitoring system was built upon the open-source EPICS framework, featuring a design where the EPICS IOC (Input/Output Controller) operates simultaneously as both a real-time controller and a data transmission middleware. Industrial-grade I/O modules based on the EtherCAT bus were employed, leveraging their excellent anti-interference capability and nanosecond-level synchronization accuracy. This effectively ensures high- precision, high-speed data acquisition and control signal transmission in complex high-temperature flow fields. Engineering applications demonstrate that the system maintains continuous stable operation under 700 °C high temperatures and complex flow fields. Compared to traditional solutions, it significantly enhances human-machine interactivity, reduces operational response time to <1 s, and lowers data synchronization error to <0.2% (within full scale range). This provides a highly reliable and high-performance control system technical solution for the testing and validation of key components in fourth-generation (Gen-IV) nuclear reactors.
