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.
