Publication number: 20240027984Abstract: A device includes a receiving unit, a filtering unit, an abnormality detecting unit, and an output unit. The receiving unit receives an I/O output request that includes an operational output for an I/O output device to operate a plant, and that is transmitted from plural control units through a network. The filtering unit performs filtering in which an I/O output request from a proper control unit out of the received I/O output requests is selected and output. The abnormality detecting unit detects an abnormality of the I/O output request. The output unit transmits, when the abnormality is detected, an alternate I/O output request, which is a request including an alternate operational output, to an I/O output device corresponding to the I/O output request, and that outputs, when the abnormality is not detected, the I/O output request output from the filtering unit to an I/O output device corresponding to the I/O output request.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Ryo KOBAYASHI, Takeshi OHNO
