These demanding specifications are particularly relevant for Beam Intercepting Devices (BIDs) such as the collimators of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Control electronics must be installed in safe areas, hundreds of meters away from the sensors and actuators while conventional industrial systems only work with cable lengths up to a few tens of meters. To address this, several years of R&D have been committed to developing a high precision motion control system. This has resulted in specialized radiation-hard actuators, new sensors, novel algorithms and actuator control solutions capable of operating in this challenging environment. The current LHC Collimator installation is based on off-the-shelf components from National Instruments. During the Long Shutdown 3 (LS3 2026-2028), the existing systems will be replaced by a new high-performance Sensors Acquisition and Motion Control system (SAMbuCa). SAMbuCa represents a complete, in-house developed, flexible and modular solution, able to cope with the demanding requirements of motion control at CERN, and incorporating the R&D achievements and operational experience of the last 15 years controlling more than 1200 axes at CERN. In this paper, the hardware and software architectures, their building blocks and design are described in detail.
