Abstract
A field device connected to a network includes: a storage section; a communication section for performing communication via the network; and an arithmetic control section for controlling the field device entirely by executing a main task under an execution environment, and controlling an operation mechanism that operates under the execution environment. The operation mechanism assigns a group identifier, a unique address space and a unique name space to an additional task being started.
