We describe the control system for the new DAPHNE ϕ-factory under construction at the Frascati National Laboratories. The system is based on a centralized architecture for simplicity and reliabilty. A central processor unit coordinates all communications between the consoles and the lower level distributed processing power, and continuosly updates a central memory which contains the whole machine status. This memory constitutes the machine database prototype. A simple message passing scheme built on a system of mailboxes takes advantage of high speed busses and of Fiber Optic interfaces. Macintosh II personal computers are used as consoles. The lower levels are all built using the VME standard.
