EPICS & TANGO Drivers for Distributed Control Systems

We developed EPICS and TANGO drivers for the Automation1 motion control platform in partnership with laboratory control system experts at Argonne National Laboratory and Observatory Sciences. This means the motor drivers are ready to use and have an open source interface. Automation1 also has .NET, C and Python APIs for building Windows and Linux applications.

EPICS and TANGO provide a common language for scientists using experimental science facilities. Our Automation1 motion control platform is the premier standard in precision motion control and includes new PWM and linear amplifier technology, superior configuration and setup tools, absolute encoder support, the innovative fiber-optic HyperWire motion bus, and our Position Synchronized Output (PSO) feature that provides process triggers based on actual position—making detector triggering and position capture easy.
