Abstract
A terminal table unit is associated with an output apparatus such as valves and solenoids and an input apparatus such as switches and includes not only a main body with a control device and a memory device but also a cassette with a memory medium that is detachably attached to the main body. The control device receives input data from the input apparatus for controlling the output apparatus and drives the output apparatus according to the received input data. The received input data are temporarily stored in the memory device in specified units. When the input data are found to include abnormal data, the control device causes data stored in the memory device to be transferred to the memory medium of the cassette such that the memory cassette can be removed and the abnormal data stored on the memory medium can be analyzed elsewhere.
