ZOOM
This page collects information that will be useful for the implementation of the new control system on ZOOM.
Background & Timeline
The ZOOM web page describes the background to the instrument. Additional material is also available on the ZOOM sharepoint. ZOOM is expected to have 36 motion axes.
The ZOOM shutter is due to open in February 2017 (see Zoom plan 28th May 2016).
Control System
ZOOM will use the IBEX control system.
ZOOM Equipment
The equipment listed below is to be used on ZOOM. Please add new information (e.g. new items of equipment, new notes, information about drivers, etc. to this table).

Spin-flipper will be controlled by 2 Kepco Power Supplies
Note: Alignment Laser
Location: Blockhouse
Due: Day 1
Single in/out axis
No control of the alignment laser is required, other than the ability to move it in/out of the beam. It can treated like a monitor.
Note: JJ X-Ray 7-axis Sample Stack
Location: Blockhouse
Due: Day 1
7-axis Sample Stack Manual
See also LARMOR
Note: SampleStack
Location: Blockhouse
Due: Day 1
The JJ X-Ray sample stack will sit on rails to allow the entire sample stack to be translated back & forth along the beam. The rails are not perfectly straight, so there needs to be an axis allowing motion perpendicular to the rails to correct for any slight misalignment in the rails. In other words, there are two axes for wholesale motion of the sample stack (in addition to the 7 internal axes of the sample stack itself).
Across beam (i.e. perpendicular to the rails): Alignment stage for reproducibility.
Along beam (i.e. along the rails): Monitoring only, no control required.

Location: TBC
As used on: LARMOR, IMAT
There are up to three functions for the PLC(s) - exactly which are to be included in the computing control is TBC. Current expectation is that the PLC will control:
“Fast Shutter” (located at the front end of the beamline). SANS2D has a similar shutter.
“Pneumatic Shutter” (located in the blockhouse). SANS2D has a similar shutter.
Pfeiffer TPG 300 pressure gauges
Note: Galil
Location: Blockhouse x 1, Mezzanine x 4
Due: Day 1
As used on: Many instruments
There are at present 39 axes to be controlled via Galil
Note: Beckhoff
Location: TBC
As used on: IMAT
The Beckhoff controller will control two axes:
the motion of the JJ X-ray sample stack along the rails see SampleStack
the motion of the tank (enclosing the detectors & detector motion system).
IBEX is NOT required to actually control these two axes (that will be done independently). IBEX is required to monitor the locations reported by the Beckhoff system - a read only driver will be required.
