Abstract
In the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak, position and selected shape parameters are controlled by a parallel computer. Years of operational experience went into its redesign. Mapping the functionality of the algorithm into modules of code provides a sound base for extension to full shape control. A rule-based coordination layer guides controller action depending on discharge programme and plasma and internal states
