  With many synchrotron facilities retiring or going through upgrades, what is the future of the some of the state-of-the-art equipment and the beamlines built for a specific science at these older facilities? Can the past investments continue supporting the current scientific mission? Beamlines Developed by NSLS2 (BDN) started in 2013 as the NxtGen project prior to NSLS last light on September, 30 2014. Hundreds of pieces of equipment still scientifically useful and valuable have been collected, packed and stored to become part of the new beamlines at the NSLS2 complex. CMS and TES beamlines were built in 2016 in 6 month from bare hutches to the First Light and are already doing user science. QAS, XFM, FIS/MET are taking first light in late 2017/early 2018 and users in 2018. Repurposed components have been fitted with standard NSLS2 EPICS based control systems, Delta Tau motion controllers, digital imaging. Intensity monitors and diagnostics have been equipped with new electronics. Data collection is performed via home grown customizable, beamline specific Bluesky Data Acquisition System. Status of the project and an overview of controls efforts will be presented.

  NSLS2 is standardized on Geo Brick LV Delta Tau 5A motor controller, suitable to drive majority of stepper and servo motors. Standardization allows less spare inventory and common skill set to maintain. However, some applications especially instruments in the space confined endstations require using small, or even miniature motors. The question that we address, what are the options in customizing the 5A unit for driving low current motors, and what are the limitations? In this paper, we present a quantitative comparison of drive currents and performance data collected with Delta Tau PeWin software and external test equipment for a variety of low current steppers and servomotors with and without encoders ranging from 45mA to 250mA. Delta Tau Geo Brick LV comes in different amplifier configurations: a combination of 5A, 1A, and 0.25A amplifiers. While all configurations are tested, research goal is focused on performance and limitations of 5A driver, avoiding using step and direction option with extra hardware. Performance of widely used Newport MFA-PP and MFA-CC also will be discussed.
