  • Publication number: 20250224714
    Abstract: According to the present embodiment, a control device comprises a first processor, a switching manager, and a second processor. The first processor is configured to execute control of a next control period on basis of control information having been changed during a current control period. The switching manager is configured to transmit to the first processor a switching notification for instructing switching to the first processor. The second processor is configured to use second software different from first software to be capable of executing control of a device by repeating a predetermined control period. The second processor uses at least the changed control information before a switching completion time as a time point where a currently processing control period ends to start control of the device in a next control period when control of the device in the next control period is executable.
