The ELI-Beam­lines fa­cil­ity aims to pro­vide a se­lec­tion of high-en­ergy and high rep­e­ti­tion-rate TW-PW fem­tosec­ond lasers dri­ving high in­ten­sity XUV/X-ray and ac­cel­er­ated par­ti­cle sec­ondary sources for ap­pli­ca­tions in ma­te­ri­als, med­ical, nu­clear and high-field physics sec­tors. The high­est rep­e­ti­tion rate laser in the fa­cil­ity will be the L1 laser, pro­duc­ing 1 kHz, 20 fs laser pulses of 200 mJ en­ergy. This laser is based en­tirely on pi­cosec­ond chirped-pulse para­met­ric am­pli­fi­ca­tion and solid-state pump lasers. The high rep­e­ti­tion rate com­bined with kW pump pow­ers and ad­vanced tech­nolo­gies calls for a highly au­to­mated, re­li­able and flex­i­ble con­trol sys­tem. Cur­rent progress on the L1 con­trol sys­tem is dis­cussed, fo­cussing on the ar­chi­tec­ture, soft­ware and hard­ware choices. Spe­cial at­ten­tion is given to the Lab­VIEW-EPICS frame­work that was de­vel­oped for the ELI Beam­lines lasers. This frame­work of­fers com­pre­hen­sive and scal­able EPICS in­te­gra­tion while al­low­ing the full range of Lab­VIEW real-time and FPGA em­bed­ded tar­gets to be lever­aged in order to pro­vide adapt­able, high-per­for­mance con­trol and rapid de­vel­op­ment.
