Abstract
CEBAF has recently performed automated beam orbit control in real time. This effort was achieved by exploiting the capabilities of the TACL control system, using the newly implemented STAR network, which easily yielded the required data transfer density needed. Also involved in this effort was the On-Line Envelope code OLE, which provided first-order transfer matrices that reflected the current machine optics. These tools made the implementation of the specific orbit-correction algorithms easier and increased reliability. The implemented algorithms include beamthreading, orbit-locks with 2 correctors/2 monitors, most-effective corrector, and n-corrector/n-monitor correction
