NETWORK CONTROL SYSTEM, AND CONTROLLER, TARGET AND CONSUMER FOR USE IN THE NETWORK CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a network control system which transmits mass data efficiently, speedily, and reliably, and has a controller that can easily decide what a target has transmitted, and to a controller and a target used in this network control system. This network control system comprises a controller for transmitting a message, a target for performing processing according to the message, and an initiator for establishing a connection for data transmission between the controller and the target, and the system performs data transmission by using plural protocols. Either or both of the controller and the target is/are present in a device, and the target is constructed so that it receives a message by a first protocol (one of the plural protocols) and transmits data onto the connection by a second protocol (the other protocol) according to the message.
