  The RIKEN Ring Cyclotron (RRC) has been in stable operation over 28 years, and has been used for supplying many types of heavy-ion beams for various experiments. Since 2007, it has also been used for supplying beams to the three Ring Cyclotrons at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF). The RRC has three types of injectors: the AVF cyclotron for comparatively light ions, variable-frequency linac for heavy-ions (RILAC), and the RIKEN Heavy-ions Linac 2 (RILAC2) for using high-intensity very-heavy ions. The total operation time of the RRC is more than 4000 h/year. Recently, some problems caused by age-related deterioration have often been occurring in the RRC. Some main coils of sector magnets had a sign of layer short. Two Magnetic Deflection Channels and some electrodes of Electrostatic Deflection Channel were damaged by some beam-loss. Several leaks of vacuum have happened at a feed-through of trim coils in the E-sector, at a bellows between the Resonator No.2 and the S-sector magnet, and at some copper cooling water pipes in the Resonator No.1 and the Resonator No.2. These present statuses of the RRC are presented in this paper.

  The RIKEN AVF cyclotron was commissioned in 1989. Since then, it has been operated as an injector for the RIKEN ring cyclotron. The AVF cyclotron also provides low energy ion beams for the Radio-Isotope Beam separator (CRIB) of the Center for Nuclear Study (CNS), the University of Tokyo, as well as to produce RIs for commercial use. The operating time is more than 3,000 hours per year. We will report the operating status (nuclear species, energy, supply destination of accelerated ions), troubles, maintenance work, and the improvement of ion sources and diagnostics tools for the period from August 2014 to July 2015.

  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.

  Operational status of four ring cyclotrons (RRC, fRC, IRC, SRC) from August 2014 to July 2015 is reported. We are engaging in the improvements and adjustments for increasing beam intensities year after year, and maintenances for the stabilization of beam supply. In these contributions, we will report the past performances of accelerated beams, statistics of operational and tuning time on corresponding period, as well as failures and copings with them.
