Abstract
To improve the control efficiency of Superconducting Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion source (SECRAL) for Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou(HIRFL), a remote control system was designed and set up in July 2011. The control software package, as a part of the system, was implemented by Visual C++, which is able to control and monitor all of the equipments for the SECRAL system with about 110 parameters. And many kinds of control protocols were used for controlling different types of equipments in this software. Moreover, in order to prevent the misoperation which may cause the quench of the superconducting magnet, alarm and interlockprotection functions are added to the software and hardware too. If some errors occur during the running of SECARL, those functions should take effect within 1 s. Simultaneously, the data acquired from the equipments can be stored in disk every 1 s for following analysis.
