Abstract

Dans un contrôleur logique programmable (10), une unité de communication (17) communique avec un équipement externe (30). Une unité d'exécution de programme (130) exécute un programme utilisateur pour commander un objet commandé. Une unité de collecte de données de dispositif (140) collecte une pluralité d'ensembles de données de dispositif stockées dans une pluralité de dispositifs, qui sont des zones de stockage référencées par l'unité d'exécution de programme (130), et associe et stocke, dans une première mémoire tampon, chacun de la pluralité d'ensembles de données de dispositif avec des informations concernant le moment auquel l'ensemble de données de dispositif a été collecté. Une unité de collecte de données de ligne (150) collecte une pluralité d'ensembles de données de ligne qui satisfont des conditions de collecte à partir des données communiquées par l'unité de communication (17), et associe et stocke, dans une seconde mémoire tampon, la pluralité d'ensembles de données de ligne avec des informations concernant le moment auquel chaque ensemble de données de ligne a été communiqué. Une unité de sortie de données (170) délivre la pluralité d'ensembles de données de dispositif stockées dans la première mémoire tampon et la pluralité d'ensembles de données de ligne stockées dans la seconde mémoire tampon.
