Controls

The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: Tango / Sardana.

P06 runs on the PETRA III control system, Tango with Sardana as the scan / motion SCADA layer, the same floor as P01 and P04. P06 is the most controller-diverse PETRA III beamline modelled so far: alongside the OMS MAXv-58 steppers it runs hexapod controllers (hexapodmotor, hexasmarmotor), SmarAct piezo controllers (smaractmotor), Aerotech fly-scan controllers (aerotechmotor), PI piezo controllers (piezopi, piezopie871), SMC-Hydra controllers (hydramotor), and Pegasus controllers (pegasusmotor), with the Maia XRF array and the Eiger / Lambda / Pilatus / PCO detectors. The handles are read from P06's public OnlineXML registry and carried confirm (CTRL-1). The scanning fluorescence / diffraction microscopy acquisition (the Aerotech raster fly-scan coupled to the Maia readout) runs as a Sardana macro; that orchestration is the seam CORA's edge conducts over its ControlPort (CTRL-2).
