A data transferring system includes a switch and a controller. The switch transfers data from a transmission source to a transmission destination with reference to a table in which a first information and a second information are associated. The controller includes a setter configured to set a tentative table to the switch, the tentative table storing the second information for outputting data, which is matched with the condition represented by the first information, to the controller, an obtainer configured to obtain a route information representing a route between the transmission source and the transmission destination, and an updater configured to update the tentative table to a table in which an outputting destination of data, which is matched with the condition represented by the first information, is changed in accordance with the route information.

There is provided a distributed control system including a plurality of field controllers which are connected through a control network. Each of the field controllers includes: a control clock that defines a control timing of the field controller; and an adjustment unit that adjusts a control time of the control clock depending on a network time obtained through the control network.

Distributed control system

The field control system includes: a field device; a field controller which is connected to a control network and which executes a computation processing for controlling the field device according to a given control cycle while executing a data communication between the field controller and the field device, the field controller including a communication unit configured to execute the data communication with the field device, and a control computation unit configured to execute the computation processing independently from the communication unit; and an operation monitor which is connected to the control network and which operates and monitors the field device, the operation monitor including a network clock which provides a common network time to the control network. The control computation unit and the communication unit execute the computation processing and the data communication in synchronism with each other in accordance with a timer clock based on the network time.

Field control system

There is provided a duplexed field controller. The duplexed field controller includes: first and second control units between which a control authority is switchable; a first application clock that is updated based on a reference clock so as to define a timing of an application operation of the first control unit; a second application clock that is updated based on the reference clock so as to define a timing of an application operation of the second control unit; and an update control unit that bypasses the first update of the second application clock after switching of the control authority, if the first application clock is ahead of the second application clock when the control authority is switched from the first control unit to the second control unit.
