Since a few years, the CS (Control System) framework is in use at a couple of experiments at various laboratories. The main idea behind CS is to provide a common basis which can be used to develop dedicated control systems by adding experiment specific add-ons. The key features of CS are an object oriented approach, event driven communication, the lack of intrinsic bottle necks like a central event manager, its ability to be distributed over many nodes, and the usage of LabVIEW which guarantees a fast learning curve as well as an excellent connectivity to hardware. The aim of this paper is to present the status of CS as well as to highlight recent achievements.
