  The update of control system at the SAGA Light Source storage ring power supplies is in progress for improving the ramp-up speed (from 255 MeV to 1.4 GeV) and for easily changing the stored beam energy. By replacing the CPU unit of PLC used for control of the power supplies, the ramp-up time was reduced from 4 to 2 minutes in a test bench prepared for the upgrade system. Currently the allowable beam energy is restricted to some fixed values in the ramp-up operation due to the original specification of the PLC ladder program. To operate storage ring at an arbitrary energy, the algorism used in the PLC program has been improvement. Energy dependent measurements (betatron-tune, beam size, and beam half-lifetime) will be carried out by using the updated control system. The upper layer of the control system using the National Instrument LabVIEW and ActiveXCA was also reconstructed for flexible GUI.
