This programmable indicator (1) is equipped with: a storage unit (3) for storing profile data obtained by profiling information pertaining to protocols for respective controlled devices; a communication unit (10) for transmitting/receiving line data to/from the controlled devices; a communication data analysis unit (30) which combines the line data with the profile data to generate combined information wherein attribute meaning information representing the meanings of the attributes of respective data included in the line data, value meaning information representing the meanings of the values of the line data, and the values of the line data are associated with one another; and a display unit (40) for displaying the combined information. The profile data is not software for exchanging data but information defined as data strings in a format determined by a different protocol per controlled device. |
