RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) is a heavy-ion accelerator facility producing unstable nuclei and studying their properties. After the first beam extraction from Superconducting Ring Cyclotron (SRC), the final stage accelerator of RIBF, in 2006, several kinds of updates have been performed. We will here present two projects of large-scale experimental instrumentations to be introduced in RIBF that offer new type of experiments. One is an isochronous storage ring aiming at precise mass measurements of short-lived nuclei (Rare RI ring), and the other is construction of a new beam transport line dedicated to more effective generation of seaweed mutation induced by energetic heavy ions. In order to control them, the EPICS-based RIBF control system is now under upgrading. Each device used in new experimental instrumentations is controlled by the same kind of controllers as those existing, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). On the other hand, we have first introduced Control System Studio (CSS) for operator interface. We plan to set up the CSS not only for new projects but also for the existing RIBF control system step by step.
