Abstract
The design consideration of Central Control Room forHeavy Ion Research Facility Lanzhou and Cooler Storage
Ring is based on HIRFL-CSR Control System Concept,
Architecture[1][2] and Operator environment. The mainfunction of the control room is to operate accelerator
through Web-link and display the status of the facility.

1 FUNCTION AREA LAYOUT
The whole area is 480m2. It is divided into several
function area, main console, large display screen, general
discussion area, expert discussion area, visiting platform,
experimenter’s control room and accessory equipment
control room. There are also resting room and locker
room for shifts.

feel tired during the working time. They have more space
to discuss and to get rest.
Control room also equipped with good chairs, tables,sofas and settees. The moveable white boards are forscientists to describe their opinions.
There are several doors for convenience of doing
experiments and maintenances.
We are considering building a coffee shop just besides
the control room. This will help experimenters spend longand dull experimental time.

2 LIGHTINGLightning uses soft and auto-adjusted system. Manylights installed in ceiling, wall and ground to make thewhole environment looks more natural and comfortable.
There are two sensors to sense day and night, and it cancontrol different lighting intense and number of thelighting lights.

Because of the Web-link architecture, nowadays control
room has less equipment and cables, every thing can bedone through Web Browser. It has more room, looks more
comfortable. The operators and experimenters will not

Day and Night Sensor can tell light control system
when and which light to turn on.
Control room has big windows with automatic window
shade. During day time, it has good brightness.
Ground light can indicate the position of the facilities
and not influence Display screen.
Good lighting system make the control room looks
modern, make the people work there happy and peaceful.
It is very important for promoting work efficiency.

3 DISPLAY
Display equipment adopted in the first stage is LCD
monitors and overhead projectors. The PDP technology
will be used in the future. The control system userinterface is general web browser. User can enter different
webpage to control different subsystem and equipment.
There are 20 positions for put PCs and LCDs in main
console, and 6 for each of experimental and maintenanceconsoles. From principle, the HIRFL-CSR facility can beoperated through any one PC in the anywhere in theworld. The system is very flexible and convenient tooperate and display.

4 CONSOLES
The consoles are made looks simple. Monitor can be
hided under the tables. 20 positions can be used according
to requirement. Same console has 6 position also installedin experimental control room and maintenance controlroom.
Folded LCD table is operated electrically. The console
itself is also a PC install box. The PC main-board, disk
driver and other peripherals can be installed inside theconsole directly. Power supply, network, phone, video andother communication cables went to everywhere in theroom. We have tried to consider all the possibilities forlatter control system installation.

6 CABLE AND VENTILATION
We have laid cable channel (power supply, twisted, coaxis, video, phone line, etc.) under ground. The outletsare distributed according to the function areas.
The ventilation system is out from top and sinks toground. Additional heating system is also installed.

The main control room is the heart of the HIRFL-CSR.
For safety and convenience, we use Finger Print
Recognising Door Inhibit System. This system can beconnected directly with internet and has its own IPaddress. It is easy to manage and communicating with
Central Database of HIRFL-CSR Control System.
As part of the Security control system, it can help record
related information for later use.

The Main Control Room of HIRFL-CSR is amodernized control room. It is not only a place to work,
but also a place to enjoy the achievement of scientificresearch, a place to gain the knowledge and a place toincrease the confidence to the nature. In this
comfortable environment, scientists will have morecreative ideas. With the modernized facility in thecontrol room, people will work efficiently.
