Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to stop the power supply to a specified device among a plurality of devices to be supplied with power, and maintain the power supply to the other device. An IO-Link master is provided with: an upper-level communication control unit which receives a specification of a device to which the power supply is to be stopped; and a power supply control unit which controls a device power supply switching unit corresponding to the device to which the power supply is to be stopped, to stop the power supply to said device while maintaining the power supply to the other device.
Claims19
A relay device configured to relay data between a control device and a plurality of devices being control targets of the control device, and to control a power supply of the plurality of devices, the relay device comprising:
- a designation receiving unit configured to receive designation of a target device that is a target for stopping the power supply;
- a plurality of power supply state switching units corresponding to the plurality of devices;
- and
- a power supply control unit configured to stop the power supply of the target device in a state in which the power supply of the other devices is maintained by controlling the power supply state switching unit corresponding to the target device.
A control method for a relay device configured to relay data between a control device and a plurality of devices being control targets of the control device, and to control a power supply of the plurality of devices, the control method comprising:
- a designation receiving step of receiving designation of a target device that is a target for stopping the power supply;
- and
- a power supply control step of stopping the power supply of the target device in a state in which the power supply of the other devices is maintained by controlling a power supply state switching unit corresponding to the target device among a plurality of power supply state switching units corresponding to the plurality of devices.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, storing a control program for causing a computer to execute a control method for a relay device configured to relay data between a control device and a plurality of devices being control targets of the control device, and to control a power supply of the plurality of devices, wherein the method comprises:
- a designation receiving step of receiving designation of a target device that is a target for stopping the power supply;
- and
- a power supply control step of stopping the power supply of the target device in a state in which the power supply of the other devices is maintained by controlling a power supply state switching unit corresponding to the target device among a plurality of power supply state switching units corresponding to the plurality of devices.
