  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.

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.

  SESAME is a synchrotron light source under installation located in Allan, Jordan. It consists of 2.5 GeV storage-ring, a 800 MeV Booster-Synchrotron and a 22 MeV Microtron as Pre-Injector. SESAME succeeded to get the first beam from Microtron, the booster is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2013, the storage-ring by the end of 2015 and the first beam-lines in 2016. This paper presents building of control systems of SEAME booster. EPICS is the main control-software tool and EDM for building GUIs which is being replaced by CSS. PLCs are used mainly for the interlocks in the vacuum system and power-supplies of the magnets, and in diagnostics for florescent screens and camera- switches. Soft IOCs are used for different serial devices (e.g. vacuum gauge controllers) through Moxa terminal servers and Booster power supplies through Ethernet connection. Libera Electron modules with EPICS tools (IOCs and GUIs) from Diamond Light Source are used for beam position monitoring. The timing System consists of one EVG and three EVR cards from Micro Research Finland (MRF). A distributed version control repository using Git is used at SESAME to track development of the control subsystems.
