  • Patent number: 10303149
    Abstract: An intelligent function unit includes an input selector selecting, as an input signal, an actual input signal or a simulated input signal generated in advance; an output selector selecting whether to output an output signal to the second controlled device; and a calculator causing an input/output controller in which combination and order of use of general circuit blocks are set to process the input signal one step at a time and transmit the output signal to an engineering tool or causing the input/output controller in which combination and order of use of the general circuit blocks are set to process the input signal consecutively for a set period of two or more steps, store the output signal for each step in a logger, and transmit an output signal corresponding to the set period and stored in the logger to the engineering tool.

  • Patent number: 9971332
    Abstract: An input/output control device includes: a bus connected to an input interface; a plurality of circuit selectors which are connected to the bus and to which validity or invalidity of an operation is set, each circuit selector outputting a signal of the bus when the validity is set; a plurality of logical circuits which are respectively provided to each of the circuit selectors, each logical circuit performing a logical operation when a signal is inputted from the circuit selector; an output selector which is connected to the bus and to which validity or invalidity of an operation is set, the output selector outputting a signal of the bus to an output interface when the validity is set; and an operation part which validates or invalidates the plurality of circuit selectors or the output selector based on an operation order of the plurality of circuit selectors and the output selector.
