Fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerator complex has been operated as a proton driver for the experiment of accelerator driven system (ADS) at Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science, Kyoto University (KURNS)*. PLC based control system has been developed and the operator interface has been connected to PLC via network. Originally, a LabVIEW based operational interface was chosen to construct the system because of its easiness. However we met an upgrade problem, and a new control system based on EPICS instead of LabVIEW was introduced in 2010. In the spring of 2018, the replacement from LabVIEW to EPICS has been almost completed except for the beam interlock system and the LINAC control system provided by LINAC production company (AccSys). Also, the EPICS archiving tool (Archiver Appliance) has been invoked and operated at the end of 2017. This Presentation reports the details of the current control system and also the upgraded GPIB control and storage system.
