Abstract
Provided is a modular type operating device capable of controlling the operation after assembly regardless of the assembly order of multiple modules. A base of a robot transmits an ID change request signal to an active module on a downstream side of a ring network. When each module receives the ID change request signal, it rewrites HOP of the ID change request signal to a value incremented by 1 and transmits it to the module on the downstream side or the base, creates a new ID to indicate the connection order and type of each module based on the HOP before rewriting and the physical ID, and transmits a module information signal including the new ID and the like to the module on the downstream side or the base.
