The Space Plasma Environment Research Facility uses a coil system with the corresponding pulsed power supply (PPS) system to generate a very flexible magnetosphere-like magnetic configuration. Its purpose is to investigate the 3D asymmetric reconnection and the processes of trapping, acceleration, and transport of energetic charged particles restrained in a dipole magnetic field configuration, as well as the physical mechanism of the dipolarization front in the magnetotail. The control and monitoring function of the PPS system is realized by the integrated control subsystem, which adopts a two-layer network structure of the control layer and device layer and is developed based on the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System framework. The control layer includes a remote control system that consists of an engineer station and an operator station and the data storage system. Both the engineer station and operator station are developed by Control System Studio. The data storage system is based on the combination of the Hierarchical Data Format 5 database and MySQL database, and the data management software of the data storage system is developed based on LabVIEW. The synchronous trigger device, the safety interlocking device, the local controller of each set of PPS, and the module controller of each discharge module are the device layer. Their hardware is designed and developed based on the Field Programmable Gate Array, and their software is based on the Quartus II platform and programmed with the Verilog Hardware Description Language language. The function of the integrated control subsystem is verified by the discharge test of the PPS system.
