	The beam diagnostics system of ALPI-PIAVE accelerators has been recently upgraded by migrating the control software to EPICS. The system is based on 40 modules each one including a Faraday cup and a beam profiler made of a couple of wire grids. The device's insertion is controlled by stepper motors in ALPI and by pnematic valves in PIAVE. To reduce the upgrade costs the existing VME hardware used for data acquisition has been left unchanged, while the motor controllers only have been replaced by new units developed in house. The control software has been rebuilt from scratch using EPICS tools. The operator interface is based on CSS; a Channel Archiver based on .. has been installed to support the analysis of transport setup during tests of new beams. The ALPI-PIAVE control system is also a bench test for the new beam diagnostics under development for the SPES facility, whose installation is foreseen in mid 2015.
