Other Comfort Featuresn Control room is equipped with good chairs,tables, sofas and settees
n There are moveable white boardsn We may build a coffee shop just besides
the control room. This will help get theexperimenters through long and dull times

Lighting
The soft lighting system is auto-adjustable.
n Night and day sensors can control light intensity and thenumber of lights turned on.
n Numerous lights are installed in the ceiling, wall andground to make the whole environment look morenatural and comfortable.
n The Control room has big windows with automatic
window shades. During day time, it has good brightness.
n Floor level lights indicate the position of the facilities but
do not influence display screens.
n A good lighting system makes the control room lookmodern. It makes the people working there happy,
peaceful and efficient.

Lighting System

Simplified Control Systemn Due to its web-link systems, control room hasless equipment and cables
n Everything can be done through Web Browser
n More room makes it look more comfortablen More space to discuss and to get rest
n The operators and experimenters will not feeltired during the working timeDisplaysnnnnnnnn

In the first stage we will use LCD monitors and overhead projectors.
PDP technology will be used in the future.
There are 20 positions for PCs and LCDs in the main console
The experimental and maintenance consoles have 6 PC / LCD
positions each.
In principle, the HIRFL-CSR facility can be operated from any online
PC in the world.
The system is very flexible and convenient to operate and display.
The control system user interface is general web browser.
User can enter different webpage to control different subsystem andequipment.

Real Time Display and Operation
through Web based Interface

Consoles
n The consoles are designed with a simple look.
n Twenty positions can be used according torequirement.
n Individual monitors can be hidden under theconsoles via electrically operated mechanisms.
n The console is also a PC install box. The PC
main-board, disk driver and other peripherals
can be installed inside the console directly.

Fingerprint Recognition Systemn The control room is the heart of HIRFL-CSR.
n For safety and convenience, we use a

Fingerprint Recognition System.
n This device can be connected directly with theinternet and has its own IP address.
n It is easy to manage and communicates with theCentral Database of the HIRFL-CSR ControlSystem.
n As part of the Security control system, it canhelp record related information for later use.

Control Room Cabling
We have tried to consider all the possibilities for latercontrol system additions.
n The cable channels (power supply, twisted, co-axis,video, phone line, etc.) have been laid under the floor.
n Outlets are distributed according to the function areas.
nConclusionnThe Main Control Room of HIRFL - CSR is a very
modern control room.

nThe MCR is not just a place to work, but also:n A place to enjoy scientific achievementn A place to gain knowledgen A place to increase confidence in naturen In this comfortable environment, scientists will
have more creative ideas and people will work
more efficiently.
