The evolution of the ELETTRA control system is presented by focusing on the major technical upgrades. The ElETTRA control system has been in operation since 1993. The orginal control system architecture was based on a three layer design. A field bus connected the low level computers used to interface the accelerator devices whilst a ten megabit shared Ethernet network linked the middle layer computers to the servers and operator workstations. A first control system upgrade started in 1998 in order to dismiss the field bus and to provide more computing power. A couple of years later a major rework of the network infrastructure was carried out with the introduction of a switched Ethernet architecture. Starting from 2003, in view of the construction of a new booster injector for the storage ring and of the FERMI@elettra free electron laser, new control system hardware and software platforms have been selected. Driven by the additional necessity of cutting development and maintenance costs, the Tango control system has been adopted. The tools developed in order to effectively manage the integration and coexistence of the legacy and new control system are described.

A fast global orbit feedback using digital Beam Position Monitor (BPM) detectors has been installed and commissioned at Elettra. The system uses 96 BPMs and 82 steerer magnets to correct closed orbit errors at a 10-kHz repetition rate. The feedback processing is performed by twelve VME stations equipped with commercial CPU boards running the Linux operating system with real-time extension and connected to each other by a low-latency fiber optic network. The system is fully controlled by a Tango based control system. A number of diagnostic and visualization software tools have been developed to easily operate the feedback and detect anomalous sources of orbit distortion. The operational experience and the achieved results are presented. Plans for further improvements of orbit stability are also discussed.
