A control device is configured to cause an output of a target device to be servo-controlled to follow a predetermined command in a predetermined working coordinate system. The control device includes: a target model controller that possesses a target model in which the target device is modeled based on the predetermined working coordinate system and simulates and outputs an output according to the predetermined working coordinate system by using the target model; a model predictive controller that possesses a predictive model in which a correlation between a predetermined state variable that is related to the target model possessed by the target model controller and based on the predetermined working coordinate system and a control input to the target model controller is defined in a form of a predetermined state equation based on the predetermined working coordinate system; and a calculator that calculates a target command from the output of the target model controller, based on the predetermined working coordinate system for each control axis and in accordance with a geometric relationship of a machine structure of the target device. The control device supplies the target command to the target device. This configuration can perform the model predictive control to supply a target command for causing the output of the target device to appropriately follow a predetermined command.

A device that provides for the non-invasive data monitoring of analog IO of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. The output is ultimately displayed on an interface in real-time and is measured directly from the IO channel. This type of device allows the accurate reading and analysis of errors and erroneous data within a device and transmission of said data to disparate secondary devices for use.
