  • Publication number: 20220035330
    Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to reduce a load associated with transfer of parameters. A control system is equipped with first and second controllers connected to a network, and a drive apparatus for driving a motor in accordance with an instruction from the first controller. The drive apparatus includes a memory that stores a safety program for implementing a safety function, and a parameter group referenced by this program. The second controller transmits an instruction related to work of the safety function to the drive apparatus. A support apparatus capable of being connected to the network generates the parameter group, and reduces a size of the parameter group when this parameter group is transferred to the drive apparatus in order that the parameter group can be restored by the drive apparatus.
