We present the current state of the HiLASE Centre control system developed in cooperation with Cosylab.The aim of the development is to build a control system which would be in charge of the operation of kW-class in-housedeveloped laser beamlines.These beamlines deliver picosecond pulses with repetition rates between 1 kHz and 1 MHz and high-energy nanosecond pulses at 10 Hz.A generic control system architecture is presented,which can either support full-size development lasers or compact industrial versions.The EPICS control system work focuses on image acquisition and processing,vacuum control,provision of timing,archiving and user interfaces.HiLASE provides highlevel requirements, Cosylab complements them,provides the design of the solution and implementation. Delivery is performed during on-site visits where a test plan is executed for acceptance.
