Implementation of a feedback control scheme and its associated user-interfa
ce and data acquisition modules in a distributed real-time computing enviro
nment are described. The distributed system consists of an ethernet network
interconnecting real-time processor modules to host workstations and other
embedded controllers. The goal of the feedback control scheme is to mainta
in positions of the electron beam in the middle of the vacuum chamber in th
e presence of electromagnetic interference and noise. Technical details of
implementing the data acquisition and control scheme and their integration
with the existing control system modules are presented, along with experime
ntal results.
