  The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) is based on a 1.37 GeV storage ring, previously operated by means of a Slow Orbit Feedback System at a maximum rate of 1 correction every 3 seconds. Since photon flux stability is a key issue for light source users, a faster control system was envisaged to provide better beam stability. This work presents an overview of the hardware architecture and the preliminary results achieved with the implementation of a Fast Orbit Feedback System using commercial hardware. BPM signals are acquired in a distributed topology and sent through a deterministic EtherCAT network to a PXI controller, responsible for applying the SVD-based correction matrix multiplication and communicating with the accelerator control system; the calculated current setpoints are sent to the correctors’ power supplies through a second EtherCAT network. FPGA-based acquisition and actuation chassis perform pre-filtering and control on the digitized input and output signals, respectively.
