  The Bio­MAX beam­line at MAX IV is de­voted to macro­mol­e­c­u­lar crys­tal­log­ra­phy and will achieve a high level of ex­per­i­men­tal au­toma­tion when its full po­ten­tial is reached due to the usage of high end in­stru­men­ta­tion and com­pre­hen­sive soft­ware en­vi­ron­ment. The con­trol sys­tem is based on Tango and Sar­dana for man­ag­ing the main el­e­ments of the beam­line. Data ac­qui­si­tion and ex­per­i­ment con­trol is done through MX­CuBE v3, which in­ter­faces with the con­trol layer. Cur­rently, the most crit­i­cal el­e­ments such as the de­tec­tor and dif­frac­tome­ter are al­ready in­te­grated into the con­trol sys­tem, whereas the in­te­gra­tion of the sam­ple changer has al­ready started. Bio­MAX has re­ceived its first users, who suc­cess­fully col­lected dif­frac­tion data and pro­vided feed­back on the gen­eral per­for­mance of the con­trol sys­tem and its us­abil­ity. The pre­sent work de­scribes the main fea­tures of the con­trol sys­tem and its op­er­a­tion, as well as the next in­stru­ment in­te­gra­tion plans
