The SRC (Short Range Correlation) [1] experiment searches for short-period two-nucleon correlations using the detector subsystems of the BM@N (Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron) facility. Р•xperiments of this kind require an easy-to-operate, reliable system for controlling and monitoring the slowly changing parameters of the experimental hardware. These parameters are high and low supply voltages, environmental parameters, data from gas subsystems, etc. The equipment very often comes from a large number of hardware manufacturers. The Slow Control System provides solutions to the following tasks: control and monitoring parameters of detectors and other subsystems. During the operation of the experimental facility, timely detection of failures in operation and alarming of emergencies, monitoring of environmental parameters are vitally important. Archiving of facility parameters in the database for further use in the analysis of experimental data is also provided.
