Abstract
The development of integrated digital Instrumentation and Control (I & C) systems for Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor (APWR) and Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) have been promoted to meet the requireme nts for increased reliability, enhanced operability and maintainabilit y. The systems integrate state-of-the-art technologies for man-machine interface, digital plant control and protection, optical multiplexing signal transmission and ergonomics. The systems have been systematica lly built on the hierarchically distributed architecture. This paper d escribes the design philosophy and the features of the integrated digi tal I & C systems for APWR and ABWR, focusing on improved man machine interface and newly developed digital systems for plant control and pr otection.
