Feedbacks on tune, coupling and chromaticity are becoming an integral part of safe and reliable accelerator operation. Tight tolerances on beam parameters typically constrain the allowed oscillation amplitudes to the micrometre range, leaving only a small margin for the transverse beam and momentum excitations required for tune and chromaticity measurements. This contribution presents an overview of these beam-based feedback systems, their architecture and design choices involved. It discusses performance limitations due to cross-constraints, non-linearities, the coupling between multiple nested loops, and the interdependence of beam parameters.
