Control device, control method, and control program

A control method for a control device that controls an industrial drive device provided in a factory automation system, the control method comprising:

• establishing communication with an information processing device that belongs to a first network;
• establishing communication with the industrial drive device, which belongs to a second network;
• executing, by the control device, a user program created for controlling the industrial drive device;
• outputting, by execution of the user program by the control device, a control instruction to the industrial drive device in accordance with a control program defined in the user program;
• switching, by the user program, a filtering condition in accordance with a setting for the filtering condition that is input during execution of the user program, the filtering condition being used for determining whether or not to transmit communication data received from one device to another device, the one device being one of the industrial drive device and the information processing device, the other device being the other of the industrial drive device and the information processing device, wherein
• the setting for the filtering condition comprises a setting for specifying whether transmission of the communication data received from the industrial drive device is to be filtered, or the communication data received from the information processing device is to be filtered.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program for a control device that controls an industrial drive device provided in a factory automation system, the control program, when read and executed, causes the control device to perform operations comprising:

• establishing communication with an information processing device that belongs to a first network;
• establishing communication with the industrial drive device that belongs to a second network;
• executing a user program created for controlling the drive device;
• outputting, by the user program, a control instruction to the industrial drive device in accordance with a control program defined in the user program;
• switching, by the user program, a filtering condition in accordance with a setting for the filtering condition that is input during execution of the user program, the filtering condition being used for determining whether or not to transmit communication data received from one device to another device, the one device being one of the industrial drive device and the information processing device, the other device being the other of the drive device and the information processing device, wherein
• the setting for the filtering condition comprises a setting for specifying whether transmission of the communication data received from the industrial drive device is to be filtered, or the communication data received from the information processing device is to be filtered.
