The present invention aims to provide a zone controller that enables construction of a conveyor line adapted for articles having various shapes and weights. The zone controller includes: an output terminal 15 for output of a driving status signal representing a driving status of the driving roller; an input terminal 16 for input of a driving status signal; and a controlling section 10 for generating a controlling signal for controlling the driving roller. The controlling section is capable of being switched between a master control mode and a slave control mode. In the master control mode, the controlling section generates the controlling signal by determining the need for driving the driving roller and outputs a driving status signal equivalent to the controlling signal via the output terminal 15, and in the slave control mode, by employing a driving status signal transmitted via the input terminal 16 as the controlling signal, the controlling section controls the driving roller synchronously with the control by the zone controller 1 from which the driving status signal is transmitted.
