Abstract: 
Electron-positron collider VEPP-2000 has been commissioned at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. The first experiments on high energy physics has been started at the end of 2009. The paper presents architecture, implementation and functionality of hardware and software of the collider control system. The hardware of the system consists of high current main field power supplies, steering coils power supplies, pulse-elements, RF subsystems and some other special subsystems (such as vacuum, temperature, etc.). The system is based on modern industrial protocol CAN-bus and specialized electronic BINP manufactured blocks according the standard. The paper describes implementation of different subsystems based on CANbus devices, and operating characteristics and their possibilities. Other standards and protocols like CAMAC, VME and so on also used in the system. The software according to hardware system consists of interacting subsystems responding on different acceleration facility parts. Control system software is based on several TCP/IP connected PC platforms under operating system Linux and uses client-server techniques.
