Shortly before first tumour patients will be treated with high-energy ions at the facility in Heidelberg we give an overview of the control systems special characteristics, current status and remaining functionality to completion. The control system was designed by GSI but has been developed by an all-industrial partner. At each of the three therapy rooms more than 20000 combinations of beam energy, intensity and focus can be requested by the therapy control system. The commissioning for carbon and proton ion beams has already been conducted by GSI. We show how different operating conditions are implemented to ensure at the same time the possibility for experimental research while beam properties already verified within medical test procedures must not be altered without following predefined workflows. Therefore all system and device parameters as well as all set values that possibly change beam properties for patient treatment have to be securely locked or e.g. integrated into checksums. We will also focus on several minor and a few major changes in functionality that had to be implemented to conform to the requirements that originated by the risk assessment of the control system.
