DeltaTau Clipper, DeltaTau & EtherCAT, Beckhoff

["PV" <P.V@psi.ch>]

Hi all !
We are evaluating at PSI a few motion control solutions. The following
seem to me not common in synchrotron applications, that's why I would
like to know if some of you have experienced it already:
1) DeltaTau PMAC "Clipper" (not an issue for EPICS interfacing but I
rather wonder about the hardware integration and global costs of this
specific form factor.)
2) DeltaTau PMAC with "EtherCAT" option.
3) Beckhoff system based on EtherCAT bus. We already use them here but
not yet interfaced with EPICS.

Thanks and regards
