title: A new low drift integrator system for the Experiment Advanced Superconductor Tokamak.
abstract: A new type of the integrator system with the low drift characteristic has been developed to accommodate the long pulse plasma discharges on Experiment Advanced Superconductor Tokamak (EAST). The integrator system is composed of the Ethernet control module and the integral module which includes one integrator circuit, followed by two isolation circuits and two program-controlled amplifier circuits. It compensates automatically integration drift and is applied in real-time control. The performance test and the experimental results in plasma discharges show that the developed integrator system can meet the requirements of plasma control on the accuracy and noise level of the integrator in long pulse discharges.
