Abstract
A collector (110) included in a data delivery control apparatus (100) collects data from a PLC (603, 604) and outputs the data to which collection time information indicating collection time is added. A validity determiner (140) determines whether the data is valid based on whether the collection time indicated by the collection time information added to the data is at or later than a starting time indicating a time at which a data sequence as a preset data processing sequence is started. A deliverer (130) delivers the data in accordance with a data sequence setting defining the data sequence in response to validity determination means determining that the data is valid.
Claims7
A data delivery control apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry configured as a validity determiner to determine whether data collected from a device is valid based on whether a collection time indicated by collection time information added to the data is at or later than a starting time indicating a time at which a data sequence as a preset data processing sequence is started;
- and
- the processing circuitry further configured as a deliverer to deliver the data in accordance with a data sequence setting defining the data sequence in response to the validity determiner determining that the data is valid, wherein
- the validity determiner determines that the data is valid for the collection time at or later than the starting time, and provides the data to the deliverer together with destination information indicating a destination in accordance with the data sequence setting.
The data delivery control apparatus according to claim wherein
- the validity determiner discards the data in response to determining that the data is invalid.
A method comprising:
- determining, with a data delivery control apparatus, whether data collected from a device is valid based on whether a collection time at which the data is collected is at or later than a starting time indicating a time at which a data sequence is started;
- delivering, with the data delivery control apparatus, the data determined to be valid in accordance with a data sequence setting indicating a preset data processing sequence;
- and
- the determining determines that the data is valid for the collection time at or later than the starting time, and provides the data to together with destination information indicating a destination in accordance with the data sequence setting to the delivering.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform operations comprising:
- determining whether data collected from a device is valid based on whether a collection time at which the data is collected from the device is at or later than a starting time indicating a time at which a data sequence is started;
- delivering the data determined to be valid in accordance with a data sequence setting indicating a preset data processing sequence;
- and
- the determining determines that the data is valid for the collection time at or later than the starting time, and provides the data to together with destination information indicating a destination in accordance with the data sequence setting to the delivering.
