    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to achieve multilevel priority without preparing in advance the necessary amount of tasks for the priority levels. A control device according to the present invention performs a process on a processing request from a client for an industrial machine, said control device comprising: a priority analysis unit that, when receiving the processing request from the client, analyzes the priority which is set for the received processing request; and a priority change unit that changes the priority with respect to the received processing request on the basis of the result of the analysis by the priority analysis unit.

    摘要: A machine segment in an industrial control system, comprising (1) a control system comprising at least a logic controller and safety controller; (2) safety components; (3) motors; and (4) input/output devices. In particular embodiments: (1) the control system is in network communication with a neighboring machine segment via a first network connection; (2) the safety controller is in network communication with a neighboring machine segment safety controller via a second network connection; (3) the logic controller receives input/output data from the input/output devices and transmit it directly to the neighboring machine segment; (4) the logic controller receives second input/output data from the neighboring machine segment; (5) the logic controller receives identifying data for the neighboring machine segment; and (6) the logic controller controls operation of each of the motors based on one or more of the input/output data, the second input/output data, or the identifying data.
