Controls¶
The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS + MXCuBE Exporter + SIMPLON REST.
The mono-beam and fast shutters that gate the exposure, and the endstation motion controllers. MX3's control plane is heterogeneous: EPICS for the shutters / stages / mono / flux, the MXCuBE Exporter protocol for the MD3 goniometer, the SIMPLON REST API for the Eiger, and a TCP client for the ISARA robot.

MX3STG |
The endstation, goniometer-base (MX3STG02), and detector (MX3STG03) stages run on Australian Synchrotron Power Brick (PMAC) motion controllers (the MX3STG..MOT.. axis records, class ASBrickMotor); box firmware / IP not in the library (DRIVE-1). | confirm |

MX3BLSH01SHT01 |
Mono-beam PSS shutter (mono_beam_shutter) gating the conditioned beam into the experiment hutch; an MD3 fast shutter (Exporter-driven) gates the per-oscillation exposure at the sample. | confirm |
