Control system, support apparatus and program

A support apparatus connected to a control system, wherein

• the control system comprises:
• a first controller, and
• a drive apparatus for driving a motor in accordance with a first instruction from the first controller, wherein
• the drive apparatus comprises a memory that stores a safety program for implementing a safety function relating to the drive of the motor, and a parameter group referenced at the time of the execution of the safety program;
• the control system further comprises:
• a second controller that transmits a second instruction related to work of the safety function to the drive apparatus, and
• a network for sharing data with each other between the first controller, the drive apparatus, and the second controller;
• and
• the support apparatus comprises:
• a parameter generation portion that generates the parameter group in accordance with a user operation on this support apparatus, and
• a size reduction portion that reduces a size of the parameter group in a way capable of restored the parameter group by the drive apparatus when the generated parameter group is transferred via the network.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a program executed by an information processing apparatus connected to a control system, wherein

• the control system comprises:
• a first controller, and
• a drive apparatus for driving a motor in accordance with a first instruction from the first controller, wherein
• the drive apparatus comprises a memory that stores a safety program for implementing a safety function relating to the drive of the motor, and a parameter group referenced at the time of the execution of the safety program;
• the control system further comprises:
• a second controller that transmits a second instruction related to work of the safety function to the drive apparatus, and
• a network for sharing data with each other between the first controller, the drive apparatus, and the second controller;
• and
• the program causes a processor of the information processing apparatus to execute
• a step of generating the parameter group in accordance with a user operation on the information processing apparatus, and
• a step of reducing a size of the parameter group in a way capable of restoring the parameter group by the drive apparatus when the generated parameter group is transferred via the network.
