    摘要: The junction device includes a first error detection means that detects a transmission error by monitoring the periodic reception of a first communication frame, and a state switching means that switches, when a transmission error is detected by the first error detection means, a state of the junction device to either a first state in which the signal output from all of the functional units connected to the junction device is disabled or a second state in which the signal output from some of the functional units connected to the junction device is continuously updated based on the configuration of each functional unit connected to the junction device.

    摘要: A rule for transferring data over a communication network is changed for each communication apparatus without spending time and cost. In a communication system in which a plurality of communication apparatuses are connected to a network, at least one of the plurality of communication apparatuses includes rule storage means for storing a plurality of transfer rules for transferring data over the network, transfer means for transferring data incoming over the network in accordance with one of the plurality of transfer rules, and rule switching means for switching one transfer rule to another transfer rule when the communication apparatus receives a notification from the outside.

    摘要: A controller includes a processor and a communication circuit. The controller controls an object of control by sequentially repeating, on a predetermined control cycle, the transmission of the output data, the reception of the input data, and execution of a control program for generating the output data using the input data. In the transmission of the output data, the processor executes: storing of the output data in a frame, the output data having been generated by the execution of the control program in a previous control cycle; and control of the communication circuit such that the frame, in which the output data is stored, is transmitted to the object of control. The processor executes, in a current control cycle, at least a part of the storing of the output data in a frame that is to be executed in a next control cycle.

    摘要: Provided is a control device comprising a communication management part, a computation part, and a result output part. The communication management part is for managing data communication using cyclic communication conforming to a prescribed communication cycle with respect to a field network. The computation part is for measuring a propagation delay time from received data corresponding to actual measurement data for a propagation delay having been transmitted to the field network, and detecting an operation state of the field network using the propagation delay time measurement result. The result output part is for outputting the result of the detection performed by the computation part.
