Particle beam energy and absorbed dose are critical parameters of product processing at industrial electron accelerators. For on-line monitoring of those parameters, a method based on measuring of distribution of the charge induced by irradiation in a wide-aperture stack-monitor, positioned behind an irradiated object, has been developed. A brief review of a control system for monitoring of the processing parameters created with the use of the EPICS package as well as the data of its operating experience at an LU-10 Linac of NSC KIPT are presented in the article. The procedure and results of calibration of the measuring channels within the electron energy range 8…10 MeV are described.
