In parallel, the supporting systems have completed installation and are under commissioning or operation. Over the last couple of years the electrical distribution, building services, liquid & gas, cooling water, reactive power compensation and cryoplant have been integrated, adding up to close to one million process variables. Those systems are operated, or under commissioning, from a temporary main control room or local control rooms close to the equipment using an integrated infrastructure. The ITER control system is therefore in production. As the ITER procurement is 90\% in-kind, a major challenge has been the integration of the various systems provided by suppliers from the ITER members. Standardization, CODAC Core System software distribution, training and coaching have all played a positive role. Nevertheless, the integration has been more difficult than foreseen and the central team has been forced to rework much of the delivered software. In this paper we report on the current status of the ITER integrated control system with emphasize on lessons learned from integration of in-kind contributions.
