The PLS control system has four layers of computer systems connected via multiple data communication networks. This paper presents an overview of the PLS control system. The accelerator control system provides means for accessing all machine components so that the whole system could be monitored and controlled remotely. These tasks include setting magnet currents, collecting status data from the vacuum subsystem, taking orbit data with beam position monitors, feedback control of electron beam orbit, regulating the safety interlock monitors, and so forth. To design a control system which can perform these functions satisfactorily, certain basic design requirements must be fulfilled. Among these are reliability, capability, expa.nsibility, cost control, and ease of operation.
