  Since the LHC run­ning sea­son 2010, the TOTEM Roman Pots (RPs) are fully op­er­a­tional and serve for col­lect­ing elas­tic and diffrac­tive pro­ton-pro­ton scat­ter­ing data. Like for other move­able de­vices ap­proach­ing the high in­ten­si­ty LHC beams, a re­li­able and pre­cise con­trol of the RP po­si­tion is crit­i­cal to ma­chine pro­tec­tion. After a re­view of the RP move­ment con­trol and po­si­tion in­ter­lock sys­tem, the cru­cial task of align­ment will be dis­cussed.
