The Control of the CMS Tracker spans from industry standard PLC-based systems to specifically designed controllers and high speed optical transmission links for the download of operating parameters to the complex front-end electronics. This paper describes the architecture which has been designed for this Control system, where a commercial SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) program has been interfaced to the dedicated electronics needed for the control of the front-ends. Within the availability of the CMS Tracker-specific components, a prototype Control system will be built in Spring and Summer 2001 and used for beam and laboratory tests of the Tracker prototype modules and subassemblies. In parallel, a PLC-based setup controlling a mock-up cooling system will be implemented and its status will be used to simulate the effect of problems with the dry gas and cooling systems that will be later built for the detector on the front-end Control system, and viceversa.
