A new framework based on Linux and DPDK will be used to acquire and process sensors and control actuators at very high repetition rate for Elettra 2.0. As part of the ongoing project, the actual fast orbit feedback subsystem is going to be re-implemented with this new technology. Moreover the communication performance with the new power converters for the new storage ring is presented.

To stay competitive for world-class photon science, a massive upgrade of the storage ring has been planned in 2025. The goal is to build an ultra-low emittance light source with ultra-high brilliance in the same building as the present storage ring. The downtime for installation and commissioning of Elettra 2.0 will last 18 months. In this plan, 20 of the present beamlines should be upgraded and 12 new beamlines are scheduled to be built. In this scenario, also the original beamline interlock and personnel safety systems are going to be upgraded using state of the art technologies. Siemens PLCs will be used for low level control, while higher level applications will be developed using the Tango framework. This work presents and describes the architecture of the future Elettra 2.0 beamline control system named GeCo, Gestione e Controllo in italian.

At the beginning it was connected to a proprietary database schema, support for other schemas was added later, for example HDB and HDB++. eGiga was deeply refactored in 2015 becoming eGiga2m. Between 2022 and 2023 a few improvements have been made, among them, optimization of large data extraction, improvement of images and pdf exports, substitution of 3d chart library with a touch screen enabled one; the addition of: logger status info, a new canvas responsive chart library, adjustable splitter, support for TimescaleDB and HDF5 data format, correlations and time series analysis, and ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average) forecast.

Not only have Special Interest Group meetings (SIGs) been introduced to speed up the adoption of new technologies or improvements, the kernel has switched to a fixed six-month release cycle for quicker adoption of stable kernel versions by the community. CI/CD provides now early feedback on test failures and compatibility issues. Major code refactoring allowed for a much more efficient use of developer resources. Relevant bug fixes, improvements and new features are now adopted at a much higher rate than ever before. The community participation has also noticeably improved. The kernel switched to C++14 and the logging system is undergoing a major refactoring. Among many new features and tools is jupyTango, Jupyter Notebooks on Tango Controls steroids. PyTango is now easy to install via binary wheels, old Python versions are no longer supported, the build-system is switching to CMake, and releases are now made much closer to stable cppTango releases.

HDB++ supports many different backends, including MySQL/MariaDB, TimeScaleDB (a time-series PostgreSQL extension), and soon SQLite. Building on its flexible design, latest developments made supporting new backends even easier. HDB++ keeps improving with new features such as batch insertion and by becoming easier to install or setup in a testing environment, using ready to use docker images and striving to simplify all the steps of deployment. The HDB++ project is not only a data storage installation, but a full ecosystem to manage data, query it, and get the information needed. In this effort a lot of tools were developed to put a powerful backend to its proper use and be able to get the best out of the stored data. In this paper we will present as well the latest developments in data extraction, from low level libraries to web viewer integration such as grafana. Pointing out strategies in use in terms of data decimation, compression and others to help deliver data as fast as possible.

A common engine allows each component to be rendered on traditional QWidgets and scalable QGraphicsItems alike. The latter technology makes it possible to integrate live controls with static SVG in order to realize any kind of synoptic with touch and scaling capabilities. A pluggable zoomer can be installed on any widget or graphics item. Apply numeric controls, Cartesian and Circular (Radar) plots are the first components realized.

The second generation of an in-house built operating system, named Voltumna Linux, which is based on immutable image approach, is now ready for production, supporting a number of commercial-off-the-shelf embedded systems. Moreover, the same approach is perfectly suitable for rack-mount servers, with large memory support, that often require the inclusion of third party or closed source packages. Being entirely based on Git for revision control, Voltumna Linux brings in a number of advantages, such as reproducibility of the product, ease of upgrading or downgrading complete systems, centralized management and deployment of the user software to name a few.
