Abstract
A programmable controller according to an embodiment includes: a bus for data transmission and reception; a synchronous-control signal line that transmits a synchronous control signal; a synchronous-control-signal generating unit that is connected to the synchronous-control signal line and generates the synchronous control signal on a basis of an external signal; a data holding unit that is connected to the bus and the synchronous-control signal line and latches a signal from an external device in an internal memory in synchronization with the synchronous control signal; and a CPU unit that is connected to the bus and the synchronous-control signal line and reads a value in the internal memory via the bus in synchronization with the synchronous control signal.
