Multi-Channel H-Bridge Controller

The Multi-Channel H-Bridge Controller is a high-reliability digital control core for the magnet power supply systems of nuclear fusion devices. It was originally designed for the Poloidal Field (PF) coil power supply of the SUNIST-2 device, where it controls the state of the PF power supply H-bridges in order to precisely regulate the discharge waveform. The design is portable and can also be applied to other high-power pulsed power supply control scenarios, including CS power supplies, MC power supplies, and plasma acceleration. The product uses a modular chassis-based design with an FPGA as its control core, and comprises six functional modules: the FPGA main control module, the communication module, the power supply module, the link module, the optical-port signal output module, and the signal acquisition module. All modules are interconnected through a backplane and are hot-swappable, which ensures reliable power delivery and signal transmission while keeping maintenance and upgrades convenient. In addition to controlling the output current waveform, the controller performs multi-point acquisition and real-time monitoring of voltage and current signals at various points in the power supply. The acquired signals are compared against preset thresholds to determine whether a fault exists at each monitoring point, thereby achieving fault localization and real-time protection, and safeguarding both the electrical supply and the equipment.

Composition

The complete controller uses a chassis-based structure in which the individual boards are interconnected through a backplane and are hot-swappable. The main boards are listed below:

BoardFunction
Control boardZYNQ 7020 core board
ADC acquisition boardPerforms analog-to-digital acquisition of voltage / current signals
Optical-port board ×7Each board contains a drive circuit and 6 optical ports
Power supply boardSupplies power to all boards

ParameterSpecification
Control coreZYNQ 7020
System architectureModular chassis-based
Optical signal transmissionElectrical signals are converted to optical signals through the optical ports for output, providing high isolation voltage and interference immunity, and remaining unaffected by transmission distance or speed
ADC acquisitionTwo groups in total: 4 channels (24-bit) and 16 channels (12-bit)
Protective actionPWM is latched off when a threshold is exceeded; if any power supply experiences overvoltage or overcurrent, the PWM of both power supply sets is latched off
Trigger inputOptical-port trigger signal
Host communicationModbus RTU / RS485
Fault indication16-channel LED
Supported discharge modesCurrent feedback / voltage feedback / no feedback
Multi-supply coordinated responseSwitching of the discharge state between different power supplies is completed within milliseconds
Supply voltage220 VAC
Dimensions3U chassis (length × width × height: 44 × 20 × 13.5 cm; 48 × 20 × 13.5 cm including mounting ears)
Delivery formChassis-based unit
