  The Square Kilo­me­ter Array (SKA) pro­ject aims at build­ing the world's largest radio ob­ser­va­tory to ob­serve the radio sky with un­prece­dented sen­si­tiv­ity and col­lect­ing area. In the SKA1 phase of the pro­ject, two dish ar­rays are to be built, one in South Africa (SKA1-Mid) and the other in West­ern Aus­tralia (SKA1-Sur­vey). Each an­tenna will be pro­vided with a local mon­i­tor and con­trol sys­tem, en­abling re­mote op­er­a­tions to en­gi­neers and to the Tele­scope Man­ager sys­tem. In this paper we pre­sent the cur­rent sta­tus of the soft­ware sys­tem being de­signed to mon­i­tor and con­trol the dish sub­sys­tem. An overview of the dish in­stru­men­ta­tion is re­ported, along with de­tails con­cern­ing the soft­ware ar­chi­tec­ture, func­tional in­ter­faces, pro­to­typ­ing and the eval­u­ated tech­nolo­gies.
