The Cavity-Based Free Electron Laser (CBXFEL) project is proposing to produce a recirculating X-ray cavity and deploy it to the SLAC LCLS (Linac Coherent Light Source) Hard X-ray (HXR) undulator line. The objective of the project is to demonstrate multi-pass gain and to eventually increase peak brightness of the produced X-ray beam. To support this novel application, new electronics and...
The open-source EtherCAT motion control EPICS module, ECMC, is now being extensively deployed at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), with the number of motion axes currently exceeding 600. ECMC is used across PSI facilities, particularly for the ongoing upgrade of the Swiss Light Source (SLS 2.0), as well as in SwissFEL and HIPA. The scale and diversity of motion control and data acquisition...
The Integrated Computer Control System (ICCS) at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) manages devices essential to fusion ignition experiments, including 488 specialized cameras supporting beam alignment, target alignment, cryogenic layering, optics damage inspection, collision avoidance, and other key processes. These heterogeneous camera systems, sourced from multiple vendors, use varied bus...
SAPOTI is the second cryogenic nanoprobe station recently installed and under commissioning at the CARNAÚBA beamline at SIRIUS, designed for multi-analytical X-ray techniques, including 2D and 3D ptychographic imaging. A high-dynamic mechatronic system* aimed to provide sample positioning at single-nanometer resolution was developed using a decoupled architecture, force actuators, high-speed...
Modern accelerator facilities like the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) demand highly reliable and maintainable control system infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted operation and rapid fault recovery. To meet these requirements, LCLS has implemented a centralized, standardized low-voltage DC (LVDC) power distribution architecture that supports mission-critical subsystems, including vacuum...
Precise control of photon beam properties is essential for modern synchrotron beamlines, particularly those utilizing APPLE-II type undulators. This paper presents the control system architecture developed at MAX-IV by using IcePAP drivers and TANGO control system, to achieve advanced polarization and energy manipulation. The system implements the BLUES (Beamline Universal Polarization Mode)...
