SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COLLECTING AND TRANSMITTING NUCLEAR REACTOR CONTROL ROD POSITION INFORMATION.

摘要

A system and method for collecting control rod position data in a nuclear reactor includes a position data multiplexer module coupled to a plurality of first position sensors associated with a first control rod and a plurality of second position sensors associated with a second control rod, the multiplexer module configured for multiplexing first control rod position data and second control rod position data into a first multiplexed position signal, and transmitting the first multiplexed position signal over a bus communication facility in parallel with a second multiplexed position signal having third control rod position data from a third control rod.
