The *Tango toolkit* was initially developed for the needs of large research facilities, although the concept (philosophy) offers a framework for any control systems in general. It is based on the idea that devices represented as distributed objects are ideally suited to design and implement control systems which are flexible and capable of handling complexity. In this sense it aims to provide:
* an **Open Source Software** toolkit for building distributed objectoriented control systems. It should be freely available for all applications including industry. Tango Controls is sufficiently complete to control any installation small or large.
* a **Programmable way** which allow hardware to be interfaced and modeled in a device object model with a suited programming language.

* the tools for **configuring, managing, monitoring and archiving** large numbers of control points implemented as device attributes.
* the **naming, browsing and hierarchies** of devices and groups of devices.
