Abstract :
A continuous replacement and upgrade procedure for the control system of the running light source BESSY has been proposed in 1990 [3]. Today we can present the components of the `final´ system. The concept has shown to be practicable and flexible. Technically improved solutions unforeseeable at start time of the conversion and not available before 1991 could be utilized even in the main turnover phase. The intended goals have been achieved: Beam time has not been affected by the conversion process. Developmental and operational experiences show that the system will supply us with key components for the control of BESSY II
