Abstract
A PLC system includes a plurality of I/O devices each connecting a control target of each of a plurality of PLCs to each of the plurality of PLCs, and a PC. Each one of the plurality of PLCs stores first output data obtained by executing a self-assigned program to control the control target connected to each PLC, and stores second output data obtained when the PC or another PLC executes another program allocated to the PC or the other PLC to control the control target connected to the one PLC. Each of the plurality of PLCs outputs one of the first output data and the second output data to the I/O device connected to each PLC based on selection information transmitted from the PC.
