Abstract
A microprocessor controls at least one of a first communication circuit and a second communication circuit such that a first input/output process and a second input/output process are executed in parallel. The first input/output process includes a process outputting output data from a first transfer buffer, through the first communication circuit, to a first instrument in a PLC system bus, and a process inputting input data from the first instrument, through the first communication circuit, to the first transfer buffer. The second input/output process includes a process outputting output data from a second transfer buffer, through the second communication circuit, to a second instrument in a field network, and a process inputting input data from the second instrument, through the second communication circuit, to the second transfer buffer.
