No external interface has been realized so far to connect Desigo to the Elettra and FERMI accelerator control systems based on Tango, making it difficult for the control room operators to monitor the conventional plant operation and parameters (temperature, humidity, water pressure, etc.), which are essential for the accelerator performance and reliability. This paper describes the development of a dedicated Desigo application to make selected process variables externally visible to a specific Tango device server, which then enables the use of all the tools provided by this software framework to implement graphical interfaces, alarms, archiving, etc. New proposals and developments to expand and improve the system are also discussed.
