Abstract
Communication device is a communication device to which a plurality of slaves are daisy-chained and which communicates with the plurality of slaves. Communication device includes processor. Processor executes setting processing. In the setting processing, an update cycle of a specific slave that is a slave having a shortest data update cycle among the plurality of slaves is set to a reference cycle, and an update cycle of another slave different from specific slave among the plurality of slaves is set to an integral multiple of the reference cycle.

A communication device to which a plurality of slaves are daisy-chained, the communication device communicating with the plurality of slaves, the device comprising:
- a processor that executes setting processing of (i) setting, to a reference cycle, an update cycle of a specific slave that is a slave having a shortest data update cycle among the plurality of slaves and (ii) setting, to an integral multiple of the reference cycle, the update cycle of another slave different from the specific slave among the plurality of slaves.
A communication control method used in a communication device to which a plurality of slaves are daisy-chained, the communication device communicating with the plurality of slaves, the method comprising setting, to a reference cycle, an update cycle of a specific slave that is a slave having a shortest data update cycle among the plurality of slaves and setting, to an integral multiple of the reference cycle, the update cycle of another slave different from the specific slave among the plurality of slaves.
