The paper presents the architecture of the control system for the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) currently under development. The FAIR control system comprises the full electronics, hardware, and software to control, commission, and operate the FAIR accelerator complex for multiplexed beams. It takes advantage of collaborations with CERN in using proven framework solutions like FESA, LSA, White Rabbit, etc. The equipment layer consists of equipment interfaces, embedded system controllers, and software representations of the equipment (FESA). A dedicated real time network based on White Rabbit is used to synchronize and trigger actions on equipment level. The middle layer provides service functionality both to the equipment layer and the application layer through the IP control system network. LSA is used for settings management. The application layer combines the applications for operators as GUI applications or command line tools typically written in Java. For validation of concepts already in 2014 FAIR's proton injector at CEA/France and CRYRING at GSI will be commissioned with reduced functionality of the proposed FAIR control system stack.
