Abstract
In a control apparatus for performing serial data communication, a transmitting section includes a memory to store data for other control apparatuses and a transmission control section to generate a frame containing the data and memory storage information indicating a storage position of the data in buffer memories of the receiving sections of the other control apparatuses. A receiving section includes a reception control section to extract the memory storage information and the data from the frame, a buffer memory to store the extracted data, and a data-storage processing section to store the extracted data in an address of the buffer memory designated by the memory storage information. The memory storage information is set for each of the control apparatuses. A control section reads out the data from an address of the buffer memory for each of the other control apparatuses.
