DESY FLASH accelerator is composed of 6 accelerating modules. The single accelerating module contains 8 superconducting resonant cavities. Since FLASH operation is dedicated for various energy physics experiments such as high current beam acceleration or SASE tuning, the sc cavities are Lorentz force detuned when operated with high gradient accelerating fields*. The ACC 3, 5 and 6 cryomodules are equipped with piezo tuners allow compensating of dynamic detuning during the RF pulse. In order to assure the simultaneous control of all available piezo tuners a distributed, multichannel digital and analogue piezo control system was applied. The paper describes the main parts of the system as well as its efficiency measurements obtained during high current beam acceleration (9 mA tests) performed in DESY. The piezo tuners were operable for 23 cavities for several hours. Moreover, the first piezo sensor measurements using double stack piezos installed in ACC 6 cryomodule are briefly demonstrated.
