Scientific paper
The original LIGO suspension control system [1] used analog circuitry to implement the closed loop damping required for local control of each the suspended optics. Recent developments in analog to digital converters (ADC), digital to analog converters (DAC), increased processor speed and performance, and the use of reflective memory have made a digital alternative possible. Such a control system would provide additional performance and flexibility that will be required for operation of the interferometers. This paper will describe the real-time digital servo control systems that have been designed, developed and implemented for the LIGO suspended optics. In addition, the paper will describe how the suspension controls have been integrated into the overall LIGO control and data acquisition systems [2].
