Control system and control method

A control system that generates a control output, the system comprising:

• one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, the non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon at least a plurality of automatic control units and safety verification units, and;
• a manipulation interface unit that generates manipulation quantity information and priority information based on a manipulation quantity which is a physical quantity;
• wherein the plurality of automatic control units generate automatic control outputs based on predetermined inputs;
• wherein the safety verification units confirm safety for the automatic control outputs, respectively;
• and
• an output control unit that outputs a control output according to any one of a predetermined automatic control output selected from the automatic control outputs and the manipulation quantity information based on the automatic control outputs, the manipulation quantity information and the priority information, and the safety confirmation results of the safety verification units,
• wherein, based on the priority information,
• the output control unit either:
• selects, as the predetermined automatic control output, an automatic control output having the highest selection priority from the automatic control outputs of which the safety is confirmed by the safety verification units among the automatic control outputs, and generates the control output according to the selected predetermined automatic control output, or
• generates the control output according to the manipulation quantity information wherein a predetermined safety verification unit among the safety verification units confirms the safety of the predetermined automatic control output.
