Controlling the poloidal field (PF) in the HT-7U superconducting tokamak is critical to the realization of the mission of advanced tokamak research. Plasma start-up, plasma position, shape, current control and plasma shape reconstruction have been performed as a part of its design process. The PF coils have been designed to produce a wide range of plasmas. Plasma start-up can be achieved for multiple conditions. Fast controlling coils for plasma position inside the vacuum vessel are used for controlling the plasma vertical position on a short timescale. The PF coils control the plasma current and shape on a slower timescale. VXI (VME bus extensions for Instrumentation) Bus system and DSP (Digital Signal Processor is a basic unit of the feedback control system), the response time of which is about (2～4) ms. The basic unit of this system, the hape-controlling algorithms of a few critical points on plasma boundary and real-time equilibrium fitting (RTEFIT) will be described in this paper.
