Abstract: A control system (2) includes hardware (111), an inter-application interference prevention processing unit (119) that operates in the hardware (111), controller applications (114) that operate on the inter-application interference prevention processing unit (119), and a selection processing unit (115). The controller applications (114) each perform a predetermined calculation on an input value and output a calculated value as a calculation result. The selection processing unit (115) selects one output value based on the calculated values outputted by the controller applications (114) and outputs the output value.

Abstract: A device for performing maintenance on an object is provided. The device for performing maintenance on an object comprises an attaching means that enables the device to attach to a part of an object, the attaching means being configured to deform in accordance with a shape of a part of the object, a moving means that enables the device to move on the object, and a maintenance means that performs maintenance on the object. In one embodiment of the present invention, the attaching means is configured so that the device maintains a state of attaching to the part of the object by the deformation of the attaching means even when a shape of a part of the object changes in association with the movement.

Abstract: A control system, a control method and an equalization apparatus for improving process control reliability are provided. In each equalization apparatus, a received-data outputting unit sends, to a network, input data from a sensor measuring a state of a process; an other-apparatus-data receiving unit acquires the input data from the received-data outputting unit and receives, from the network, input data sent from each of other equalization apparatuses than itself; and a data selecting unit selects, as output data, a representative value of the input data acquired by the other-apparatus-data receiving unit. Each computing apparatus calculates a manipulative variable of an actuator based on the output data from a corresponding equalization apparatus.
