In 2015 this method was used at 11 Undulator and 6 dipol beamlines. Since then the demand for this feature - especially among new build beamlines - increased, while the availability of the used hardware decreased. In order to tackle this problem, we investigate into alternative solutions for both, hardware and software. By introducing an independent high level controller between the two device controllers, we can compensate for communication incompatibilities and hence increase flexibility. This paper shows the status of our research. The ideas leading to a first prototype, the prototype itself and first results will be presented.
