Monitoring and controlling the operational stability of the RPCs for ARGOYBJ is a crucial task to achieve the reliability required for a long-term experiment of 6500 m2 sensitive area, performed in an unusual environment at 4300 m a.s.l. on the Tibet plateau. An adequate Detector Control System (DCS) to accomplish this task is therefore required. We present here the architecture and control algorithms of the DCS purposely developed. Due to the large number of parameters to be monitored (4317), a cost-effective multiplexer board has been developed: 154 such boards and one central VME system will perform the control tasks for the whole experiment. The DCS also implements emergency and recovery procedures in case of anomalous system behaviour.
