Many components of the RIBF accelerator complex are controlled by using the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS). We will here present recent progress of the EPICS-based RIBF control system. One is the improvement of the alarm system to support a stable beam delivery during a long-term experiment. We introduced the Control System Studio (CSS) to our control system and started to monitor the vacuum systems and magnet power supplies in order to avoid the interruption of the beam supply due to the accident. The other is renewal of the system for controlling up to 900 magnet power supply units with several different types of controllers at once by a simple program. Since the configuration of the magnet power supplies has become very complicated in accordance with the several kinds of extensions and updates of the RIBF accelerator complex, we have developed the new control programs in order to simplify the recording and the setting data of the magnet power supplies.
