Abstract

A communication control device comprises a state change detecting section for outputting, upon detection of a state change in parallel input control signals, a transmission control instruction to a transmitting section. A standby time is provided between the time of detection of the control signal state change and the time of commencement of transmission of the serial signals by the transmitting section. For control signals to operate a controlled object at a desired time, the state change detecting section outputs the transmission control instruction a communication time plus the standby time earlier than the desired time.
