The 17 m diameter IACT MAGIC is currently in its commissioning phase. The control system of the telescope is distributed over a number of functional elements: a FADC-based data acquisition, a subsystem responsible for the calibrations and the elements inside the camera, a drive system, a two level trigger, an active mirror control, a star guider, a camera oscillation monitor and other auxiliary elements. CANbus is favoured for the communication with the hardware. A central PC steers all these subsystems over ethernet and allows a human operator full control over the telescope. Here we describe the central control and camera/calibration control subsystems.
