Abstract The French Laser Megajoule (LMJ) is, behind the US NIF, the second largest inertial fusion facility in the World. The main activity of this facility is the acquisition of several physical phenomena as neutron, gamma, X rays…produced by the indirect attack of hundreds of high power laser beams on targets through measurement devices called "target diagnostics". More than 30 diagnostics will be installed and driven in a huge and complex integrated computer control system. The aim of this paper is to describe an architecture based on the Tango open source software for the very low level control system, Python language for the development of drivers and the French commercial PANORAMA software as the main high level SCADA. This choice leads to guaranty the evolution of the middleware software architecture of this facility supposed to be operated during dozen of years with the capability of using many instruments including sustainability.
