  • Patent number: 10579496
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: a collection unit configured to collect an event log corresponding to an event generated in a control system including at least one network; an extraction and specification unit configured to extract at least one event log corresponding to an event generated arising from an identical factor from the collected event log, and to specify an event log representing the event generated arising from the identical factor in the at least one event log extracted; and an output unit configured to output the event log representing the event generated arising from the identical factor and event logs corresponding to other events generated arising from the identical factor while distinguishing the event log representing the event generated arising from the identical factor and the event logs corresponding to other events generated arising from the identical factor from each other.

  • Patent number: 10491456
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: a detection unit configured to detect an event generated in a control system including at least one network; a connection configuration expression unit configured to visually express a physical connection and a logical connection of the network included in the control system; and an event output unit configured to output the event detected by the detection unit while correlating the event with the physical connection and the logical connection of the network, the physical connection and the logical connection being visually expressed according to a place where the event is generated.

  • Publication number: 20190253355
    Abstract: A control device includes a cyclic communication part and a communication management part. The cyclic communication part controls communication of first control data and second control data. The first control data is control data of which arrival in a first guarantee time is guaranteed according to a preset cyclic period. In the second control data, arrival in a second guarantee time longer than the cyclic period is guaranteed and a sequence of information included is determined. When a data volume of second control data exceeds a communication volume for second control data based on the cyclic period, the communication management part divides the second control data into a plurality of communication data. The communication management part attaches an identifier indicating communication in a divided manner, a data volume, and a communication order to the plurality of communication data.

  • Patent number: 10277417
    Abstract: A control system includes a master apparatus that includes a calculation unit and a communication processing unit, and one or more slave apparatuses connected to the master apparatus via a network. The communication processing unit is configured to manage cyclic transmission, on the network, of a data sequence containing data that is handled by the master apparatus and the one or more slave apparatuses. The communication processing unit is configured to start cyclic transmission of a first data sequence that contains output data for the one or more slave apparatuses in conjunction with execution of output processing in the operation unit, and to start, a predetermined time period before execution start of input processing in the operation unit, cyclic transmission of a second data sequence for obtaining information collected by the one or more slave apparatuses from the control target.
