MICADO, the near-infrared Multi-AO Imaging Camera for Deep Observations and ELT first light instrument, shall be operated as a client of the AO system MAORY and offer capabilities for different imaging modes and spectroscopy. Its control software is being developed on the basis of a customizable ESO framework while taking into account the separation of the system MICADO-MAORY into independent software entities as well as shared functionality with an instrument-specific observation preparation tool. We present a MICADO-centered perspective of the envisaged top-level architecture.
