Abstract: A relay device relays communication. The relay device includes: a receiving unit that receives communication data from a communication device; a storage unit that stores the communication data received by the receiving unit; and a processing unit that performs processing. A first period and a second period are alternately set. The processing unit changes the total number of the first periods and the second periods included in a next predetermined period each time a predetermined period including the first periods and the second periods passes. The processing unit determines whether or not the communication data is stored in the storage unit. When it is determined that the communication data is stored in the storage unit, the processing unit specifies a period to which a communication determination time at which the determination has been performed belongs, from the first period and the second period.

Abstract: A programming assistance apparatus assists programming with respect to a program that operates two or more devices including at least a robot in parallel. The programming assistance apparatus includes a device extractor, a determiner, and an alerter. The device extractor extracts an identification name of a device to which an operation command is issued per unit of parallel operation based on a description content of the program. The determiner determines whether there is a shared target device, to which operation commands targeting a same device in two or more parallel operations are issued. The alerter outputs an alert when it is determined that there is the shared target device.

Abstract: A communication device transmits data to a relay device for transmitting received data. The communication device includes a processing unit that performs processing. The processing unit gives an instruction for data transmission to the relay device, and acquires a transmission delay time from the instruction for data transmission to the transmission of the data. The processing unit acquires a determination delay time from the reception of the data by the relay device to a determination point in time at which whether or not to transmit the received data is determined. The processing unit calculates an entire period from the instruction for data transmission to the determination point in time based on the acquired transmission delay time and determination delay time.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted device stores delay time information of a first set and a second set. The first set includes a first transmission delay time from an external portion to a measurement reference position at a data reception time, and a second transmission delay time from an external portion to a measurement reference position at a data reception time in another device. The second set includes a third transmission delay time from a measurement reference position to an external portion at a data transmission time, and a fourth transmission delay time from a measurement reference position to an external portion at a data transmission time in the other device. A propagation delay time between the devices is measured by time synchronization information to and from the other device, the measured propagation delay time is corrected based on the stored delay time information, and time synchronization between the devices is performed.
