Abstract: A control computer as a master apparatus in a control network system includes a packet generation unit. The packet generation unit: selects a control command for writing a data from among packet generation information; references the packet generation information for each of the selected control command; and includes a data for write which is read from an address in a storage section corresponding to the each control command, in a control packet to generate the control packet. A communication unit transmits the generated control packet to a controlled object as a slave device.

Abstract: An information processor capable of ensuring time synchronization accuracy, ensuring EtherCAT command consistency, and easily developing the software based on a 2-port configuration even when a communication path error occurs includes: an arithmetic section; at least two communication sections each including a transmission section and a reception section; and a redundant communication control section that controls a communication path between the arithmetic section and the communication section. The redundant communication control section includes: a communication path state determination section that determines a network path state; and a redundant path switching section that switches connection between the arithmetic section and at least two communication sections.

Abstract: A communication control unit and a communication control system are provided in which control devices can synchronously operate. In a communication control system in which a communication control unit and multiple control devices having an actuator to operate a control target are connected via a network, the communication control unit provides a control command to the control devices, synchronizes times of the communication control unit and the control devices, obtains communication delays relative to the control devices, collects control start times of the control devices, obtains a time by subtracting the control start time from a predetermined time as a start time of the control device, calculates a time obtained by subtracting the communication delay from the start time for each control device, and transmits the control command to the control devices before the earliest time of the calculated times.

Abstract: An interrupt control unit provides controls on an interrupt from an accelerator to a CPU based on a packet transmitted to or received from a controlled object. The interrupt control unit includes: a storage part for storing therein an interrupt control timing table in which a condition of switching a mode of the interrupt control is described; and an interrupt control mode switching part for switching the mode of the interrupt control to the CPU between a permission mode and a mask mode, based on the interrupt control timing table in the storage part.

Abstract: A motor controller having the electronic cam function that makes it smooth operation even if the number of operation patterns is lessened is provided. The electronic gear function included in a servo-amplifier and a divider are used to vary the gear ratio of an electronic gear in a previously provided ratio in accordance with an external rotation position so that the electronic cam function is realized. The motor controller further includes a program execution unit so that the electronic gear is operated in accordance with programs. Since the electronic gear function and the divider is included in an inexpensive servo-amplifier and is used to realize the electronic cam function, the inexpensive and intelligent system can be realized. Since the divider is provided in the system, the number of data and the reading frequency of the cam pattern can be decreased and accordingly the inexpensive system is realized.
