  New fast ramping power supplies working in pulsed bridge technology upgrade the existing Corrector System at ELSA. Current changes of ±0.8 A/msec are achieved. The newly developed CAN-Bus Interface allows linear interpolation of up to 250 support points with minimal time steps of 1msec. The first stage uses 24 power supplies to improve the position of the beam orbit in the horizontal plane using dipole correction coils. It will be extended to include the vertical plane with new corrector coils in the near future. This poster describes the operating principles of the power supply and the interface.
