Accurate piston error detection and closed-loop control are one of the key technologies to ensure the imaging quality of the interferometric imaging telescope. In this paper, we proposed a piston error detection and control scheme based on three computers and multithreading,which has been successfully applied to a four 0.1-m apertures interferometric telescope. This scheme adopts a kind of fringe contrast measurement and climbing method to achieve closed-loop control. The results implied that the fringe contrast can be raised through piston closed-loop correction. Compared with a single telescope with 0.1-m aperture, we can get a 2.63x improvement in resolution for the new interferometric telescope with four 0.1-m apertures. It is proved that the feasibility and effectiveness of this scheme. We will further carry out astronomical observation experiments and improve the piston error detection and control scheme, in order to provide technical guarantees for the implementation of interferometric imaging telescopes.
