	In J-PARC main ring, each of the main magnets (Dipole, Quadrupole, and Sextupole) has a trim-coil. The basic aim of trim-coil is to correct small deviation of each magnetic field. In addition, we have used them for other purposes, for example: (1) in Beam-Based-Alingnment studies, (2) as flux monitors, and (3) to make a short-circuit to reduce ripples of magnetic field. At a moment, trim-coils can be used for only one purpose. Relay-switches were introduced to change trim-coil connection to a device, which corresponds to the selected purpose. When the purpose is switched, 1,200 on-site relays have to be changed manually, distributed in three buildings. Thus, a control system for trim-coil relay-selectors was developed in winter, 2014-2015. EPICS tools and environment are used to develop the system. The system comprises PLC I/O modules with controller running EPICS on Linux. The system will be in operation after March, 2015. By using the system, a much easier switching of relay-switches than before, is expected.

	The beam commissioning of J-PARC started in November, 2006. Since then, the timing system of J-PARC accelerator complex has contributed stable beam operations of three accelerators: a 400-MeV linac (LI), a 3-GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS), and a 50-GeV synchrotron (MR). The timing system handles two different repetition cycles: 25 Hz for LI and RCS, and 2.48-6.00 sec. for MR (MR cycle). In addition, the timing system is capable to provide beams to two different experimental facilities in single MR cycle: Material and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) and Neutrino Experimental Facility (NU), or, MLF and Hadron Experimental Facility (HD). Recently, a plan to introduce a new facility, Accelerator-Driven Transmutation Experimental Facility (ADS), around 2018, has been discussed. Studies for the timing system upgrade are started: change of the master repetition rate from 25Hz to 50 Hz, and a scheme to provide beams to three different experimental facilities in single MR cycle (MLF, NU and ADS or MLF, HD and ADS). This paper reviews the 8-year operation experience of the J-PARC timing system, followed by a present perspective of upgrade studies.
