The TANGO Controls software framework

TANGO Controls is an open‑source toolkit for building high performance and high quality distributed control systems for small and large installations. The TANGO design is based on the concept of distributed devices or objects, and provides native support for multiple programming languages. The toolkit implements a full set of tools for developing, managing and monitoring small and large control systems.

TANGO is presently managed by a group of European research centers among which there are ESRF (France), SOLEIL (France), Elettra (Italy), ALBA (Spain), DESY (Germany), MAX-lab (Sweden), Solaris (Poland) and INAF (Italy), but the whole TANGO community today counts over 20 sites.
