	PandABox is a development project resulting from a collaboration between Synchrotron SOLEIL and Diamond Light Source started in October 2015. The initial objective driving the project was to provide multi-channel encoder processing for synchronizing data acquisitions with motion systems in experimental continuous scans. The resulting system is a multi-purpose platform well adapted for multi-technique scanning and feedback applications. This flexible and modular platform embeds an industrial electronics board with a powerful Xilinx Zynq 7030 SoC (Avnet PicoZed), FMC slot, SFP module, TTL and LDVS I/Os and removable encoder peripheral modules. In the same manner, the firmware and software framework has been developed in a modular way to be easily configurable and adaptable. The whole system is open and extensible from the hardware level up to integration with control systems like TANGO or EPICS. This paper details the hardware capabilities, platform performance, framework adaptability, and the project status at both sites. szhang@synchrotron-soleil.fr

TUPHA007	SOLEIL and SYMETRIE Company Collaborate to Build Tango Ready in-Vacuum Diffractometer	380

	Funding: The Swedish Research Council (VetenskapsrÃ¥det MAX IV / SOLEIL collaboration) The Ile de France region (project <FORTE>, DIM-Oxymore) Two years ago, SOLEIL (France) and MAXIV(Sweden) synchrotron light sources started a joint project to partially fund two similar in-vacuum diffractometers to be installed at the tender X-ray beamlines SIRIUS and FemtoMAX . SOLEIL diffractometer, manufactured by the French company SYMETRIE* and complementarily funded by a <Ile de France> region project (DIM Oxymore) gathering SIRIUS beamline and other laboratories, features an in-vacuum 4-circles goniometer and two hexapods. The first hexapod is used for the alignment of the vacuum vessel, and the second one for the alignment of the sample stage which is mounted on the 4-circles diffractometer. In order to integrate efficiently this complex mechanical experimental station into SOLEIL control architecture based on TANGO and DeltaTau motion controller, SOLEIL and SYMETRIE work in a close collaboration. Synchronization of the different elements of the diffractometer is a key issue in this work to get a good sphere of confusion thanks to corrections done by the in vacuum hexapod. This paper details this collaboration, status of the project in terms of control system capabilities and the results of the first tests. *SYMETRIE Company (Hexapod and positioning systems) http://www.symetrie.fr/

WEAPL04	Nanoprobe Results: Metrology & Control in Stacked Closed-Loop Systems	1028
	C. Engblom, Y.-M. Abiven, F. Alves, N. Jobert, S.K. Kubsky, F. Langlois, A. Lestrade SOLEIL, Gif-sur-Yvette, France T. Stankevic MAX IV Laboratory, Lund University, Lund, Sweden
	Over the course of four years, the Nanoprobe project worked to deliver prototypes capable of nm-precision and accuracy with long-range millimetric sample positioning in 3D- scanning tomography for long beamline endstations of Synchrotron Soleil and MAXIV. The ambition of the project necessitated a joint progress between several fields of expertise combining mechanics, metrology, motion control, and software programming. Interferometry in stage characterization has been a crucial point; not only to qualify motion errors but to actively integrate it into control systems with feedback and/or feedforward schemes in order to reduce XYZ position errors down to the nm- level. As such, a new way of characterizing rotation stages was developed and ultimately used in control schemes utilising the Delta Tau PowerPMAC platform. This paper details the obtained results as well as the methodology and approach of the project to achieve this.

THMPA09	MACUP (Material for data ACquisition - UPgrade): Project Focusing on DAQ Hardware Architecture Upgrades for SOLEIL	1330
	G. Renaud, Y.-M. Abiven, F. Ta, Q.H. Tran, S. Zhang SOLEIL, Gif-sur-Yvette, France
	Since operation-startup more than 10 years ago, Synchrotron SOLEIL has chosen acquisition architectures that are mainly based on CompactPCI systems. The last few years there has however been an acceleration of obsolescence issues on the CPCI products and it has also been identified that this technology would become a bottleneck in terms of performance for new projects. The MACUP project was therefore created with two main objectives: maintaining the current facility operations by addressing the hardware obsolescence risks, all while searching for alternate high-performance solutions with better embedded processing capabilities to face new challenging requirements. One additional guideline for the project is to facilitate collaborative work for accelerator and beamline projects by evaluating and standardizing a limited set of technologies like the Xilinx ZYNQ SOC, VITA 57 FMC and μTCA standards. This paper describes the adopted methodologies and roadmap to drive this project.

	PandABlocks is the open source firmware and software stack that powers PandABox, a Zynq SoC based "Position and Acquisition" platform for delivering triggers during multi-technique scanning. PandABlocks consists of a number of FPGA functional blocks that can be wired together at run-time according to application specific requirements. Status reporting and high speed data acquisition is handled by the onboard ARM processor and exposed via a TCP server with a protocol suitable for integration into control systems like "EPICS" or "TANGO". Also included in the framework is a webserver and web GUI to visualize and change the wiring of the blocks. The whole system adapts to the functional blocks present in the current FPGA build, allowing different FPGA firmware be created to support new FMC cards without rebuilding the TCP server and webserver. This paper details how the different layers of PandABlocks work together and how the system can be used to implement novel triggering applications.

THPHA158	First Step to Manage Migration to Siemens S7-15XX PLCs using TANGO Framework	1776

	Over the past years, SOLEIL* uses SIEMENS PLCs as a standard for signal monitoring and security. SOLEIL is today thinking about a major upgrade of the facilities, and has to adapt its organization to face efficient operation and R&D. In this context, automation experts are now merged in a single group. In a middle term, migration from the existing 3XX series PLCs to the new 15XX series will be necessary. As the new 15XX series PLCs do not support Fetch/Write protocol anymore, a first step is the upgrade of TANGO* PLCServer. This software device ensures data exchange with supervisory applications using TANGO infrastructure. It opens multiple TCP/IP connections to the PLC hardware, manages asynchronous communication to read/write PLC Datablocks and acts as a server for other clients. The upgrade of PLCServer is based on Snap7**** open source Ethernet communication suite for interfacing with Siemens PLCs using the S7 native protocol. This paper details the evolutions, performances and limitations of this new version of the PLCServer.
