The COMPASS-U tokamak is an advanced and more complicated successor of the COMPASS tokamak. Almost all main technological parts will be different. Both the higher performance of COMPASS-U and the increased number of parts and systems lead to a higher risk of failure. Therefore, new control systems must be developed regarding handling dangerous situations and integrating new systems. The COMPASS-U also opens the opportunity to make significant changes in the current systems based on the experience gained from COMPASS operation and to upgrade the systems to nowadays technologies. This article focuses on the conceptual design of the COMPASS-U control systems. It shows all CODAC (Control, Data Access, and Communication) systems their purpose, functionality, operation principle, interaction, and main used technologies. The COMPASS-U will use EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) for Slow control and supervision system. The real-time plasma control system will utilize MARTe2 (Multi-threaded Application Real-Time executor). The base control loop period of the Real-time plasma control system will be 50 μs as of COMPASS.
