abstract = {The first accelerator at GSI, UNILAC, went into operation
in the early 1970s. Today, UNILAC is a small accelerator
complex, consisting of several ion sources, injector and
main linacs comprising 23 RF cavities, several strippers and
other instrumentation, serving a number of experimental
areas and the synchrotron SIS18. Three ion species can be
provided at different energies simultaneously in a fast time
multiplex scheme, two at a time. The UNILAC is going to be
the heavy ion injector linac for FAIR, supported by a
dedicated proton linac. The current linac control system
dates back to the 1990s. It was initiated for SIS18 and ESR,
which enlarged GSI at the time, and was retrofitted to the
UNILAC. The linear decelerator HITRAP was added in the last
decade, while an sc cw linac is under development. Today,
SIS18, ESR and lately CRYRING are already operated by a new
system based on the LHC Software Architecture LSA, as FAIR
will be. In order to replace the outdated linac control
system and simplify and unify future operation, a new
control system on the same basis is being developed for all
GSI linacs. This contribution reports about this venture
from a machine physicist point of view.},
