Consolidated filter arrangement for devices in an RF environment

A system comprising:

• a first plurality of elements disposed in a radio frequency (RF) environment;
• a second plurality of elements disposed outside of the RF environment;
• a plurality of switching devices disposed in the RF environment, wherein each of the plurality of switching devices are operably coupled to a corresponding element of the first plurality of elements to control power to the corresponding element, wherein the plurality of switching devices are coupled to a power line that is to provide power from outside the RF environment;
• a filter, coupled to the power line, to filter out RF noise introduced into the power line by the RF environment;
• and
• a converter disposed in the RF environment and operably coupled to the plurality of switching devices to provide a non-conductive communication link between the plurality of switching devices and a controller outside of the RF environment, the controller comprising a real-time logic control, wherein the controller is to receive a process recipe via user input and is to control the first plurality of elements and the second plurality of elements substantially simultaneously based on the process recipe.
