Abstract
A communication device communicates, in a first cycle, with sensors connected through a network to acquire, from the sensors, measurement data measured by the sensors in data acquisition cycles longer than or equal to the first cycle and store the data in a storage. The communication device includes a grouping section to classify the sensors into groups based on the data acquisition cycles and acquire the measurement data from the classified sensors, and reclassify one of the sensors into a different group when determining that a maximum size of data to be received per first cycle exceeds a threshold for a communication band of the network, and a memory map generator to calculate a timing and an address to store the measurement data based on the data acquisition cycles and the groups resulting from the classification.
