Abstract: Data is recorded to a time-series database embedded in a PLC. A local clock of the PLC is corrected by accessing a time server such as an NTP server on a regular basis. At that time, a time correction amount and an NTP-ID for identifying each iteration of correction processing are recorded to an NTP log in association with each other. When a query arrives, a time stamp of a record corresponding to a designated time range is modified by proportionally distributing the time correction amount of the corresponding NTP-ID.
