The control system (10) includes: a control engine (15) that cyclically updates internal state values (1510) on the basis of a signal exchanged with the control object (500); a security engine (250) that executes an incident response operation in accordance with an incident that can occur in the control system; and a phase update means (252) that updates a phase value (2522) indicating the operation state of the control object, the update being performed on the basis of one or a plurality of values (1512) selected discretionarily in advance by a user from among the internal state values retained by the control engine. The security engine retains operation definition information (2542) in which the content of the incident response operation is defined for each phase, and executes the corresponding incident response operation defined in the operation definition information in accordance with the phase value (2522) updated by the phase update means.
This information providing method includes: (i) a step for causing a control device to start a communication session with a server in response to establishment of communication connection with a terminal; (ii) a step for causing the server to issue temporary access information for accessing services in response to the communication session, the access information being different from one communication session to another; (iii) a step for causing the control device to notify the access information to the terminal; and (iv) a step for causing the server to provide target information collected from the control device to the terminal in response to accessing from the terminal on the basis of the access information. Accordingly, the threat to security when providing information of the control device is reduced.
The present invention provides an environment which makes it possible to effectively support development of a sequence program. A support device for supporting development of a sequence program develops a call instruction of a unit program which constitutes the sequence program into a circuit indicated by a sequence logic defined by the unit program and displays the instruction at a time when the sequence program is displayed. In accordance with an operation for changing the circuit, the support device changes the sequence logic of the circuit. In the case where the sequence program is changed into an executable code, in accordance with a switching option, the support program assigns one of a code of the sequence logic after changed and a call instruction code to a call instruction in the sequence program.
This optical assembly (13A) for a three-dimensional measurement device is provided with: an optical lens (132A) supported by a lens barrel (133); and an optical device (131) supported by a support structure part. The lens barrel (133) is fixed to the support structure part, and the optical device (131) is disposed on one among a pair of conjugate planes of the optical lens (132A). The support structure part is constructed by a composite structural body in which inter-element distance, which is the axial distance between the optical device (131) and the optical lens (132A), is adjusted according to temperatures by combining at least a first member (134) and a second member (135) that have mutually different linear expansion coefficients. Accordingly, at least a portion of a deviated amount of a focal position of the optical lens (132A) caused by temperatures is cancelled by the inter-element distance varying according to the temperatures.
