  The ex­ist­ing com­puter con­trol sys­tem of GANIL is being re­newed to ful­fil the in­creas­ing re­quire­ments of the ac­cel­er­a­tor op­er­a­tion. This medium term major im­prove­ment is aim­ing at pro­vid­ing the physi­cists with a wider range of ion beams of higher qual­ity under more flex­i­ble and re­li­able con­di­tions. This paper gives a short de­scrip­tion of the new con­trol sys­tem en­vi­sioned. It con­sists of a three layer dis­trib­uted ar­chi­tec­ture fed­er­at­ing a VAX6000-410NMS host com­puter, a real time con­trol sys­tem made up of a dual host VAX3800 and work­sta­tion based op­er­a­tor con­soles, and at the fron­tend seg­ment: VME and CAMAC proces­sors run­ning under the VAX­ELN op­er­at­ing sys­tem, and pro­gram­ma­ble logic con­trollers for local con­trols. The basic is­sues with re­gard to ar­chi­tec­ture, human in­ter­face, in­for­ma­tion man­age­ment, etc. are dis­cussed. Lastly, first im­ple­men­ta­tions and op­er­a­tion re­sults are pre­sented.
