  A new RIKEN 28 GHz superconducting ECR ion source (28 GHz-ECRIS) was constructed in 2009 in order to increase the intensity of Uranium ion beam for RIKEN RI beam factory project(RIBF). For effective and stable operation of the 28 GHz-ECRIS, its client system should have an user-friendly man-machine interface. The ECRIS control system was constructed with the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) as well as RIBF control system. As a result, it was successful to provide the useful clients, such as the operation GUI panels, the XY chart application, and the data acquisition system in EPICS-based system. On the other hand, to keep beam quality from 28 GHz-ECRIS for a long beam service term, it should be possible to operate the ECRIS by members of ion source team at any time. In order to relieve concern in the overseas business trip of members of ion source team, we designed a real-time web-based client system using WebSocket*, which is a new protocol presented by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). In this paper, we report the system and development status in detail.
