The interface lay of Diamond's accelerator and photon beamline control systems have predominately been implemented as VME based systems. Forthcoming control systems, for new photon beamlines, have requirements necessitating a divergence from Diamond's adopted design patterns, including a reduction in available rack space and the management of hardware obsolescence. To address these, a new standard based on PCs and Ethernet field buses to the instrumentation has been defined. This paper will present the new design, how the design transition is being effected and the key benefits to Diamond.
