Controls

The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS + MXCuBE3.

The trigger hardware and the drive electronics. MOGNO's control floor is EPICS IOCs plus TATU (an FPGA trigger/timer on CompactRIO, shared Sirius infra). The application layer above it is the beamline's custom PyEpics stack (mgn-devices / mgn-routines / mgn-control-guis), the orchestration CORA's edge would conduct over (ORCH-1). PV namespaces and controller-box identities are not public (CTRL-1).
