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 cur­rently in progress at SOLEIL. It was ini­ti­ated to main­tain the fa­cil­ity op­er­a­tions by ad­dress­ing the risk of hard­ware ob­so­les­cence in mo­tion con­trol but at the same time mak­ing room for com­plex ap­pli­ca­tions re­quire­ments to face new high per­for­mance chal­lenges. In order to achieve these con­sid­er­a­tions, SOLEIL's strat­egy move was to go from a sin­gle con­troller for all ap­pli­ca­tions to two mo­tion con­trollers. A first Con­troller GALIL DMC-4183 was cho­sen to suc­ceed the pre­vi­ous ver­sion DMC-2182. Both con­trollers can be in­te­grated in the ex­ist­ing ar­chi­tec­ture with lit­tle hard­ware and soft­ware adap­ta­tion en­abling full com­pat­i­bil­ity with the ex­ist­ing ar­chi­tec­ture. A sec­ond con­troller, Delta Tau Power Brick, has been se­lected as a HIGH PER­FOR­MANCE so­lu­tion pro­vid­ing ad­vanced func­tion­al­ity. The CLAS­SIC con­troller up­grade is about to be com­pleted and the in­te­gra­tion of Power Brick into the SOLEIL con­trol sys­tem is on­go­ing. The sys­tem com­plex­ity is ab­stracted by em­bed­ding pro­cess­ing func­tions into low-level code and giv­ing end-users a sim­ple high-level in­ter­face. The work done to struc­ture the in­ter­fac­ing and stan­dard­iza­tion of the con­troller are de­tailed in this paper.

  SOLEIL is con­tin­u­ously op­ti­miz­ing its 29 beam­lines in order to pro­vide its users with state of the art syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion based ex­per­i­men­tal tech­niques. Among the top­ics ad­dressed by the re­lated trans­ver­sal pro­jects, the en­hance­ment of the com­put­ing tools is iden­ti­fied as a high pri­or­ity task. In this area, the aim is to op­ti­mize the beam time usage pro­vid­ing the users with a fast, si­mul­ta­ne­ous and multi-tech­nique scan­ning plat­form. The con­crete im­ple­men­ta­tion of this gen­eral con­cept al­lows the users to ac­quire more data in the same amount of beam time. The pre­sent paper pro­vides the reader with an overview of so call 'Fly­scan' pro­ject cur­rently under de­ploy­ment at SOLEIL. It no­tably de­tails a so­lu­tion in which an un­bounded num­ber of dis­trib­uted ac­tu­a­tors and sen­sors share a com­mon trig­ger clock and de­liver their data into tem­po­rary files. The lat­ter are im­me­di­ately merged into com­mon file(s) in order to make the whole ex­per­i­ment data avail­able for on-line pro­cess­ing and vi­su­al­iza­tion. Some ap­pli­ca­tion ex­am­ples are also com­mented in order to il­lus­trate the ad­van­tages of the Fly­scan ap­proach.
