	U. R. Ristau, M. DiCastro, S. Fiedler, A. Pazos EMBL, Hamburg P. Duval DESY, Hamburg
	The EMBL is located at the DESY site in Hamburg and operates 7 beam lines at the DORIS III synchrotron. Currently the EMBL Hamburg constructs three new beam lines at the new PETRA III synchrotron. In the past the level of beam line automation is significantly increased. Control system tasks are changed to more data through put, faster reaction times and require more flexibility. The control electronic has to allow fast feedbacks and precise data synchronization. Sample changer offer higher speed and sample capacity. The transport of videos and the huge amount of experimental data via the control system requires networks with large bandwidth and high efficient control system transport protocols. The EMBL has chosen TINE as beam line control system. TINE features like the multi cast option and the efficient TINE transport protocol help to minimize the network load. The control electronic will be the real time PLC control EtherCat for motor control and data acquisition. Fast data acquisition will be performed with FPGA and PXI electronic. Presented will be the beam line control concept, the control electronic layout and the first finished applications.

	The EMBL is located at the DESY site in Hamburg and operates 5 beamlines at the DORIS III storage ring. Currently the EMBL Hamburg is in charge to build three new beamlines at the new PETRA III high-brilliance synchrotron radiation source which will commence user operation in 2009. A new multilayer double-crystal monochromator has been developed in house. This has been a real application test for the software and hardware architecture of the new PETRAIII beamlines. An embedded-PC controls the electronic integrated in the EtherCAT real-time Ethernet bus. Inside this PC a logic of PLC’s directly drives the hardware allowing real time data acquisition. The control of the system is distributed and remotely accessible by a connection to a TINE device server. The commissioning phase has been done using a Labview TINE client application. The client is able to perform on-the-fly scans thanks to the PLC's base logic. In the following paper the different pieces of the system are presented as well as an overview of the instrument.

WEP012	A Crystal Centering System with a FPGA Based Position Control Approach for EMBL Beamlines at PETRA III	192
	M. DiCastro, S. Fiedler, A. Pazos, F. Ridoutt, U. R. Ristau EMBL, Hamburg
	The EMBL is located at the DESY site in Hamburg and operates 5 beamlines at the DORIS III sotorage ring. Currently the EMBL Hamburg is in charge to build three new beamlines at the new PETRA III high-brilliance synchrotron radiation source which will commence user operation in 2009. In this paper a reconfigurable FPGA based control solution is presented to monitor and analyze in real time beamline experiments. The hardware is suitable to acquire fast and high sensitive electronic signals, analyzing them for feedback closed loops. The system is included in the TINE control system and can be remotely controlled and configured. The control hardware consists of a National Instrument PXI crate equipped with a real time controller and R-series FPGA. The Labview real-time object oriented programming to control the system is presented as well as the adaptation of the hardware to various applications. The solution is shown starting from simulation and then testing on the existing DORIS test beamlines used for PETRA III.

WEP019	Control of the New EMBL-Hamburg Sample Changer	210
	U. R. Ristau, M. DiCastro, S. Fiedler, A. Pazos, B. Robrahn EMBL, Hamburg
	The EMBL is located at the DESY site in Hamburg and operates 7 beamlines at the DORIS synchrotron. Currently the EMBL Hamburg constructs three new beamlines at the new PETRAIII synchrotron. In the last years the level of beamline automation is significantly increased. In the area of biological beamlines automatic Sample changers were established. We present the control design of the new sample changer offering higher sample capacity, improved sample throughput and flexibility.
