MOPPC013	Revolution in Motion Control at SOLEIL: How to Balance Performance and Cost	81

	SOLEIL * is a third generation Synchrotron radiation source located near Paris in France. REVOLUTION (REconsider Various contrOLler for yoUr moTION) is the motion controller upgrade project at SOLEIL. It was initiated by the first « Motion control workshop in radiation facilities » in May 2011 that allowed development of an international motion control community in large research facilities. The next meeting will take place during pre-ICALEPS workshop: Motion Control Applications in Large Facilities *. As motion control is an essential key element in assuring optimal results, but also at a competitive price, the REVOLUTION team selected alternatives by following a theoretical and practical methodology: advanced market analysis, tests, measures and impact evaluation. Products from two major motion control manufacturers are on the short list. They must provide the best performance for a small selection of demanding applications, and the lowest global cost to maintain operational conditions for the majority of applications at SOLEIL. The search for the best technical, economical and organizational compromise to face our challenges is detailed in this paper. : www.synchrotron-soleil.fr ** : http://www.synchrotron-soleil.fr/Workshops/2013/motioncontrol

MOPPC077	Open Hardware Collaboration: A Way to Improve Efficiency for a Team	273

	SOLEIL* is a third generation Synchrotron radiation source located near Paris in France. Today, the Storage Ring delivers photon beam to 26 beamlines. In order to improve the machine and beamlines performance, new electronics requirements are identified. For these improvements, up-to-date commercial products are preferred but sometimes custom hardware designs become essential. At SOLEIL, the electronic team (8 people) is in charge of design, implementation and maintenance of 2000 electronics installed for control and data acquisition. This large basement and small team mean there is only little time left to focus on the development of new hardware designs. As alternative, we focus our development on the open Hardware (OHWR) initiative from the CERN dedicated for electronics designers at experimental physics facilities to collaborate on hardware designs. We collaborate as an evaluator and a contributor. We share some boards in the project SPI BOARDS PACKAGE*, developed to face our current challenges. We evaluated TDC core project, and we plan to evaluate FMC carrier. We will present our approach on how to be more efficient with developments, issues to face and the benefit we get. : www.synchrotron-soleil.fr **: www.ohwr.org/projects/spi-board-package
