Controls¶
The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS / bluesky.
The trigger box and the motion controllers. Unlike FXI, HXN exposes its controllers in the profile collection (PMAC, Attocube ANC350), so they are modelled as families here; box models / serials / IP remain pending (DRIVE-1).
| Name | Family | PV | Key specs | Replaceable | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Zebra |
TimingController |
XF:03IDC-ES{Zeb:3}: |
trigger source: PSO Zebra FPGA position-capture box (class SRXZebra, instance nanoZebra) gating the per-point detector triggers during a fly raster. A fast shutter sits on a second Zebra (Zeb:2). A PandABox is being introduced (67-nano-panda) and is carried deferred (ZEBRA-1). |

SampleMotionController |
MotionController |
XF:03IDC-ES{Ppmac:1 |
Power PMAC driving the fine raster axes (class, instance Ppmac:1) plus HxnTurboPmacController boxes MC:2-MC:8. Box model/firmware pending (DRIVE-1). | confirm |

NanoPositioningController |
MotionController |
XF:03IDC-ES{ANC350 |
Attocube ANC350 controllers (ANC350:1-8) driving the coarse nano-positioning, OSAs, and beam stops. Eight units; model confirmed Attocube, firmware/serials pending (DRIVE-1). | confirm |
