Abstract RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) is a heavy-ion accelerator facility producing unstable nuclei and studying their properties. The major part of the RIBF accelerator complex has been controlled by Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS). After the first beam extraction from Superconducting Ring Cyclotron (SRC), the final stage accelerator of RIBF, in 2006, several kinds of extensions and updates have been performed in the EPICS-based RIBF control system as well as the accelerators and their components. We will here present the overview of the EPICS-based RIBF control system and its two latest updates. One is a newly installed safety system in addition to the existing two kinds of RIBF beam interlock systems following significant increase of the beam intensity extracted from the SRC. The other is development of some kinds of successors that are designed to be compatible with the existing aged controllers for magnet power supplies.
