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.

In a large experimental physics project such as ITER and LHC, the project has managed by an international collaboration. Similarly, ILC (International Linear Collider) as next generation project will be started by a collaboration of many institutes from three regions. After the collaborative construction, any collaborators except a host country will need to have some methods for remote maintenances by control and monitoring of devices. For example, the method can be provided by connecting to the control system network via WAN from their own countries. On the other hand, the remote operation of an accelerator via WAN has some issues from a practical application standpoint. One of the issues is that the accelerator has both experimental device and radiation generator characteristics. Additionally, after miss operation in the remote control, it will cause breakdown immediately. For this reason, we plan to implement the operator intervening system for remote accelerator diagnostics and support, and then it will solve the issues of difference of between the local control room and other locations. In this paper, we report the system concept, the development status, and the future plan.
