A communication control system for a number of gas compressors where one gas compressor is set as a master gas compressor that controls communication with N slave gas compressors. A cycle of communication with the N slave compressors in N communication sets is defined as a total compressor number communication cycle. In first to Nth communication sets, a first response request is transmitted to each of the first to Nth gas compressors. When a response is received from one of the gas compressors, the system determines that connection with the one gas compressor has succeeded. When no response is received, the system determines that connection has failed. In following communication cycles, a second response request is transmitted to the slave compressors with which communication has succeeded. The first response request is then transmitted to the slave compressors with which the communication connection has failed using a different timing sequence.
