	Funding: Tango Community Tango Controls is successfully applied at more than 40 scientific institutions and industrial projects. These institutions do not only use the software but also actively participates to its development. The Tango Community raised several projects and activities to support collaboration as well as to make Tango Controls being easier to start with. Some of the projects are led by S2Innovation. These projects are: gathering and unifying of Tango Controls documentation, providing a device classes catalogue and preparation of a so-called TangoBox virtual machine. Status of the projects will be presented as well as their impact on the Tango Controls collaboration.

WEPHA056	Tango Controls Benchmarking Suite	TANGO, controls, operation, network	1224
	M. Liszcz, P.P. Goryl S2Innovation, Kraków, Poland
	Funding: Tango Community Tango Controls is a client-server framework used to build distributed control systems. It is applied at small installations with few clients and servers as well as at large laboratories running hundreds of servers talking to thousands of devices with hundreds of concurrent client applications. A Tango Controls benchmarking suite has been developed. It allows testing of several features of Tango Controls for efficiency. The tool can be used to check the impact of new developments in the framework as well as the impact of specific network-server and deployment architecture implemented at a facility. The tool will be presented along with some benchmark results.

WEPHA097	Development of a Tango Interface for the Siemens-Based Control System of the Elettra Infrastructure Plants	controls, TANGO, database, interface	1321
	P. Michelini, I. Ferigutti, F. Giacuzzo, M. Lonza, G. Scalamera, G. Strangolino, M. Trevi Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste S.C.p.A., Basovizza, Italy
	The control system of the Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste infrastructure plants (cooling water, air conditioning, electricity, etc.) consists of several Siemens PLCs connected by an Ethernet network and a number of management stations running the Siemens Desigo software for high-level operation and monitoring, graphical display of the process variables, automatic alarm distribution and a wide range of different data analysis features. 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.
