  The high power linac of European Spallation Source, ESS (Lund, Sweden), accelerates 62.5 mA of protons up to 2 GeV in a sequence of normal conducting and superconducting accelerating structures. The Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line has been designed tested and mounted at ESS Bilbao premises to guarantee tight requirements are met. The main purpose of this 3.62 MeV MEBT is to match the RFQ output beam characteristics to the DTL input requirements both transversally using quadrupoles, and longitudinally RF buncher cavities. Additionally, the beam is also cleaned by efficient use of halo scrapers and pulse shape by means of a fast chopper. Besides, beam characterization (beam current, pulse shape, size, emittance) is performed using a comprehensive set of diagnostics. Therefore, firstly, control integration of magnets and steerers power supplies, for quadrupoles, as well as synchronism, triggering, linked to high voltage pulsers within the chopper control, is part of the commitment for the present work. Secondly, the control developments of beam instruments such as Faraday Cup and Emittance Meter Unit will be described. All the integrations are based on ESS EPICS environment.
