PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate setting and information management of devices by automatically recognizing devices connected via networks, gathering information that the devices holds, generating information for setting the devices according to the gathered information, and setting the generated information in the devices and actualizing a communication between the devices. SOLUTION: A controller 110 communicates with devices via a network 100 for control, for example, conveyors in a production line. A computer 120 is connected even to a network 150. The network 150 is connected to the Internet via a gateway 151 and is able to communicate with a computer 161 connected to another network 160 through another gateway 152. The network 150 and network 160 are networks, such as Ethernet(R) computer, which allow computers to communicate with each other. Here, the controller 110 may be any computer which can execute a control program.
