abstract = {{RFX-mod2, currently under construction at Consorzio RFX, is an evolution of the former RFX-mod experiment, with an improved shell and a larger set of electromagnetic sensors. This set, including 192 saddle coils, allows exploring a wide range of plasma control schemas, but at the same time poses a challenge for its Control and Data Acquisition System (CODAS). RFX-mod2 CODAS is required to provide the high-speed acquisition of a large set of signals and their inclusion in the Plasma Control System that must provide a sub-millisecond response to plasma instabilities. While brand new solutions are provided for the acquisition of the electromagnetic signals, involving Zynq-based ADC devices, other parts of the CODAS system have been retained from the former RFX-mod CODAS. The paper presents the solutions adopted in the new RFX-mod2 CODAS, belonging to three main categories: 1) Plasma Real-Time control, including both hardware solutions based on Zynq and the integration of data acquisition and real-time frameworks for its software configuration. For this purpose, MDSplus and MARTe2, two frameworks for data acquisition and real-time control, respectively, have been adopted, which are widely used in the fusion community. 2) Data acquisition, including upgrades performed to the former cPCI-based systems and new ad-hoc solutions based on RedPitaya. 3) Plant supervision, carried out in WinCC-OA and integrated with the data acquisition system via a new WinCC-OA database plugin. }},
