IFMIF-DONES is the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility-DEMO Oriented NEutron Source, an accelerator-based neutron source where a high-energy deuterons beam is focused on a fast flowing liquid lithium jet to produce high-energy neutrons via stripping reactions with intensity and irradiation volume sufficient to generate material irradiation test data for design, licensing, construction and safe operation of the DEMO fusion reactor. This work presents the design of Central Instrumentation and Control Systems for the IFMIF-DONES plant and describes its most recent development. After a general overview of the current status of the design, the differences with respect to the corresponding system developed during the previous phases of the project will be highlighted. The paper describes the overall architecture (in terms of definitions, functions and requirements) and provides details about the identification of subsystems and equipment. A particular attention will be given to the I&C Networks connecting infrastructures.
