As　a　main　test　equipment　for　seismic　study,　the　shaking　table　was　fast　developed　in　the　past　forty　years,　from　linear　to　nonlinear,　from　time-invariant　to　time-varying,　from　analog　control　to　diital　control,　and　from　displacement　control　to　acceleration　advanced　control.　The　development　and　current　situation　in　shaking　table　control　system　are　presented　from　three　aspects,　including　mode　method,　parameter　identification　and　control　algorithm.　And　then,　the　developing　trends　of　shaking　table　control　system　are　proposed,　which　include　study　of　specimen-table　coupling　model,　accurate　parameter　identification,　parameter　self-tuning,　advanced　nonlinear　control　algorithm　and　multiple-shaking　table-array　control　system.
