  The Eu­ro­pean XFEL (E-XFEL) is a 3.4 km long X-ray Free-Elec­tron Laser fa­cil­ity and con­sists of a su­per­con­duct­ing, lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor with ini­tially three un­du­la­tor beam lines. The con­struc­tion and in­stal­la­tion of the E-XFEL is being com­pleted this year and com­mis­sion­ing is well un­der­way. First pho­ton beams are ex­pected to be avail­able for early users in the sec­ond half of 2017. This paper will focus on the con­trol sys­tem parts for the lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor with its more than 7 mil­lion pa­ra­me­ters and high­light briefly its de­sign and im­ple­men­ta­tion. Namely the hard­ware frame­work based on the Mi­croTCA.4 stan­dard, test­ing soft­ware con­cepts and com­po­nents at real and vir­tual ac­cel­er­a­tor fa­cil­i­ties and a well-es­tab­lished method for in­te­grat­ing high-level con­trols into the mid­dle layer through a shot-syn­chro­nized data ac­qui­si­tion al­lowed for a rapid de­ploy­ment and com­mis­sion­ing of the ac­cel­er­a­tor. Sta­tus and ex­pe­ri­ences from a tech­ni­cal and an op­er­a­tional point-of-view will be pre­sented.
