A new mid-infrared FEL has been commissioned at the Fritz-Haber-Institut in Berlin. It will be used for spectroscopic investigations of molecules, clusters, nanoparticles and surfaces. The oscillator FEL is operated with 15 - 50 MeV electrons from a normal-conducting S-band linac equipped with a gridded thermionic gun and a chicane for controlled bunch compression. Construction of the facility building with the accelerator vault began in April 2010. First lasing was observed on Februar 15th, 2012. * The EPICS software framework was chosen to build the control system for this facility. The industrial utility control system is integrated using BACnet/IP. Graphical operator and user interfaces are based on the Control System Studio package. The EPICS channel archiver, an electronic logbook, a web based monitoring tool, and a gateway complete the installation. This paper presents design and implementation aspects of the control system, its capabilities, and lessons learned during local and remote commissioning.
