The High-Dynamic Double-Crystal Monochromator (HD-DCM) is a mechatronic system with unique control-based architecture and deep paradigm changes as compared with traditional beamline monochromators. Aiming at unprecedented inter-crystal positioning stability in vertical-bounce double-crystal monochromators (DCMs) of the order of 10 nrad RMS (1 Hz to 2.5 kHz), and not only in fixed-energy but also in fly-scan operation, it has been developed according to a `first-time right' predictive design approach for hard X-ray beamlines at Sirius, the fourth-generation light source at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS/CNPEM).
