Abstract	A control system for the magnetic system of the free electron laser (FEL) is described. The characteristics and structure of the power supply system are presented. The control system is based on embedded intelligent controllers with the CAN-BUS interfaced. The control software structure and capabilities are described. A possibility of connection of the control software to the integrated control system using the Epics Channel Access protocol is also discussed.
