The beam orbit of the 1.5GeV electron storage ring DELTA showed a variety of beam distortions with a pronounced frequency spectrum mostly caused by girder movements and ripples of the magnet power supplies. In order to enhance the orbit stability at least up to 300 Hz bandwidth a global fast orbit feedback is under consideration. As a prototype an FPGA based local fast orbit feedback at a 10 kHz data acquisition rate has been developed. The digitized orbit data are distributed from I-Tech Libera and Bergoz MX-BPMs to an FPGA board via a fibre interconnected network based on the Diamond Communication Controller [*]. The correction algorithm is written in VHDL and the corrections are applied with digital power supplies connected to the FPGA board through RS485 links. The first operational tests of the system achieved an effective damping of orbit distortions up to 350 Hz. The paper will give an overview on the layout of the FPGA based local orbit feedback system, will report on the results of the measured uncorrected orbit distortions at DELTA and the stability enhancements that could be achieved by the local feedback system. * I.
