An intelligent function unit (110) is provided with: an input selector (131) which selects whether to use, as an input signal, an actual input signal or a pre-created simulation input signal; an output selector (133) which selects whether or not to output an output signal to a second control device; and an arithmetic unit (122) which either causes an input/output control unit (123), for which a combination of a plurality of general-purpose circuit blocks and a usage order are set, to process input signals for each step and sends the output signal to an engineering tool, or causes the input/output control unit (123), for which a combination of a plurality of general-purpose circuit blocks and a usage order are set, to consecutively process input signals for a set time period of at least two steps and store the output signals for each step in a logger unit (140), and sends the output signals for the set time period stored in the logger unit (140) to the engineering tool. |
