Abstract: In the present invention a control device and a safety device establish a connection in accordance with a result of a comparison of connection setting information stored in the control device and setting identification information stored in the safety device. A support device is provided with a processor for executing a support program for assisting in setting the control device. A support program includes a first command for acquiring the setting identification information from the safety device and a second command for setting, in the connection setting information corresponding to the safety device, the setting identification information acquired in response to execution of the first command. Thus, the required identification information can easily be set even when a plurality of safety devices are connected to the same network.

Abstract: A support device accepts selection of a target program to be copied from a control program, and sets a copy program in the control program, the copy program being obtained by copying the target program. The support device generates a list of variable names extracted from the target program. The support device rewrites a variable name in the copy program based on the edited list obtained by editing the list. As a result, even when it is desired to arbitrarily change the variable name, time and effort of a user to carry out input work is reduced.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer readable storage medium are provided. An information processing apparatus (200) for generating a safety program for causing output devices to operate such that safety is maintained if a predetermined condition is satisfied includes: an acquisition unit acquiring an input/output setting (230) that correlates respective input devices with output devices that respond to changes in values of input signals from the input devices from a first input value that is an initial value to a second input value; and a generation unit generating, in a case in which a value of an input signal from any of the input devices defined in the input/output setting (230) has changed from the first input value to the second input value, a safety program for shifting an operation state of an output device correlated with the input device to a safety state.

Abstract: A control system includes a support device used for developing a user program to be executed on a controller, and a display device that provides a supervisory control screen by referring to information held by the controller. The support device extracts a relationship between an output signal and one or more input signals defined by the user program and generates input-output correspondence information, and transmits the input-output correspondence information or screen data reflecting the input-output correspondence information to the display device. The display device provides, on the basis of the input-output correspondence information or the screen data reflecting the input-output correspondence information, the supervisory control screen showing the current value of a selected output signal and the current value of one or more input signals associated with the output signal by referring to the values of input and output signals held by the controller.
