Control apparatus, controller, control system, control method, and computer-readable medium having recorded thereon control program

A control method comprising:

• receiving, by a controller, state data from at least one sensor configured to measure a state of a facility;
• transmitting, by the controller, the state data, which is a learning target, to a control apparatus configured to generate a control model by learning, the control model being configured to calculate control data for controlling the facility according to the state data;
• receiving, by the controller, the learned control model from the control apparatus;
• calculating, by the controller, the control data corresponding to the state data, which is a processing target, by using the received control model;
• controlling, by the controller, the facility by using the calculated control data;
• receiving, from the control apparatus, a first one of the control data calculated using the control model by the control apparatus;
• and
• selecting the control data that is used for control on the facility, from the first one of the control data and a second one of the calculated control data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having recorded thereon a control program that, when executed by a computer having at least one procesor, causes the computer to function as:

• a state receiving unit configured to receive state data from at least one sensor configured to measure a state of a facility using the at least one processor;
• a state transmission unit configured to transmit the state data, which is a learning target, to a control apparatus configured to generate a control model by learning, the control model being configured to calculate control data for controlling the facility according to the state data, using the at least one processor;
• a model receiving unit configured to receive the learned control model from the control apparatus using the at least one processor;
• a calculation unit configured to calculate the control data corresponding to the state data, which is a processing target, by using the received control model, using the at least one processor;
• a control unit configured to control the facility by using the calculated control data using the at least one processor;
• a control data receiving unit configured to receive, from the control apparatus, a first one of the control data calculated using the control model by the control apparatus using the at least one processor, and
• a control data selection unit configured to select the control data that is used for control on the facility, from the first one of the control data and a second one of the control data calculated by the calculation unit using the at least one processor.
