<p>A terminal communication apparatus is provided with a terminal communication control unit (110) configured to be switched between an immediate communication control unit (112) that, upon reception of a packet in the form of bit-by-bit serial data, transmits the serial data sequentially to another terminal communication apparatus (1) one bit at a time, and a normal communication control unit (111) that, upon reception of the bit-by-bit serial data, executes a process on the packet after storing the serial data until the serial data reaches a packet length. Upon reception of a time adjustment packet including time adjustment data indicating synchronization timing in the other terminal communication apparatus (1), a process by the immediate communication control unit (112) is executed. Upon reception of a packet other than the time adjustment packet, a process by the normal communication control unit (111) is executed. Thus, control object devices can be synchronized without investigating a communication delay time beforehand.</p> |
