  The motions at beamlines sometimes require components to move along non-trivial and non-linear paths. This type of motion can be achieved by combining several simple axes, typically linear and rotation actuators, and controlling them to perform synchronized motions along individual non-linear paths. A good example is the 10-meter-long spectrometer at MAX IV Veritas beamline, operating under the Rowland condition. The system consists of 6 linked axes that must maintain the position of detectors while avoiding causing any damage to the mechanical structure. The nonlinear motions are constructed as a trajectory through energy or focus space. The trajectory changes whenever any parameter changes or when moving through focus space at fixed energy instead of through energy space. Such changes result in automated generation and uploading of new trajectories. The motion control is based on parametric trajectory functionality provided by IcePAP. Scanning and data acquisition are orchestrated through Tango and Sardana to ensure full motion synchronization and that triggers are issued correctly.

  This paper describes the design and implementation of the control system for the ForMAX beamline at the MAX IV synchrotron. MAX IV is a Swedish national laboratory that houses one of the brightest synchrotron light sources in the world. ForMAX is one of the beamlines at MAX IV and is funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and Swedish industry via Treesearch. To meet the specific demands of ForMAX, a new control system was developed using the TANGO Controls and Sardana frameworks. Using these frameworks enables seamless integration of hardware and software, ensuring efficient and reliable beamline operation. The control system was designed to support a variety of experiments, including multiscale structural characterization from nanometer to millimeter length scales by combining full-field tomographic imaging, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS), and scanning SWAXS imaging in a single instrument. The system allows for precise control of the beam position, energy, intensity, and sample position. Furthermore, the system provides real-time feedback on the status of the experiments, allowing for adjustments to be made quickly and efficiently. In conclusion, the design and implementation of the control system for the ForMAX beamline at the MAX IV synchrotron has resulted in a highly flexible and efficient experimental station. TANGO Controls and Sardana have allowed for seamless integration of hardware and software, enabling precise and reliable control of the beamline for a wide range of experiments.
