PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sensor controller, which transmits large-capacity data such as waveform data or image data in a short time (for example, in rapid cycles) and makes possible various collaborative operations using the transmitted data. SOLUTION: The sensor controller includes: a control unit including a programmable logic circuit and a CPU to control the operation of the sensor controller; a unit connector which can be used to connect other sensor controllers; an inter-unit path which constitutes a signal transmission path between the control unit and the unit connector and includes a sensing data transmission path between the programmable logic circuit and the unit connector. When another sensor controller is connected to the unit connector, the sensing data can be transmitted between the programmable logic circuit of the local sensor controller and the programmable logic circuit of the particular another sensor controller.
