	The Spiral2 facility aims to provide rare ions beams using the ISOL method. It consists of a driver accelerator followed by the rare ion production process coupled with the existing Ganil machine. From the beginning of this year, one ion source followed by the first beam line section has been in test hence implying the first components of the control system. The whole accelerator should be commissioned in spring 2012 and the first exotic beams are planned one year later. Several institutes are collaborating for the control system design and Epics has been chosen as the basic framework. The architecture will rely on Linux PCs and servers, VME VxWorks IOCs and Siemens PLCs; equipment will be addressed either directly or using a Modbus/TCP field bus network. To ease the collaboration, a specific care has been taken concerning the software organisation and management both for the Epics developments and the Java high level applications. Under investigation are the evaluation of the Xal environment, the development of a triggered acquisition system and the design of an environment to generate the Epics databases from a relational database. Also, the first results obtained are presented.

	The Spiral2 project aims to provide a new facility able to produce and study rare ions. To ease collaboration between laboratories involved in software development, the command control team has chosen the EPICS software. At an upper layer, high level applications will be programmed in Java while the XAL framework is currently under investigation. A development skeleton, programming rules, subversion development tools are about to be fixed on to achieve the whole organisation. Program developers will be able to generate generic EPICS applications which can be integrated in each IOC VME crate or LINUX box. Furthermore, Spiral2 beam control equipment will be described in a relational database and a program will be provided to automatically generate EPICS flat databases. The aim of this paper is to describe this organisation and the benefits for the Spiral2 command control team.
