Devices, methods and computer programs for monitoring and control device communication

Abstract

Control devices for industrial machinery can communicate with various communication objects and perform various actions via communication ports. Previously, communication of control devices required the intention to grasp the communication volume of each communication object or each action. The present invention provides a device 100 that communicates with a plurality of communication objects via communication ports 34A, 34B, and 34C to perform a plurality of actions and monitor the communication volume of a control device 22 for industrial machinery, and includes: a communication volume classification unit 102 that classifies and stores the communication volume of communication ports 34A, 34B, and 34C for each communication object or each action; and a communication volume output unit 104 that outputs the classified communication volume for reporting.
