Abstract: Optical fiber cables interconnect a master node and a plurality of slave nodes to configure a network. A master controller transmits instruction signals each corresponding to one of the slave nodes to the network. When receiving the corresponding one of the instruction signals from the network, each slave controller adds detection result information based on the state detected by a state detecting section and transmits the instruction signal to the network as a return signal for the master node. Based on the detection result information in each return signal from the network, the master controller acquires the state of the load device that corresponds to the return signal. Therefore, the states of load devices are reliably monitored.
