Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plant control system with a general-purpose personal computer (general-purpose PC) to distribute functions to a programmable logic controller (PLC) and the general-purpose PC, and to ensure reliability of the general-purpose PC for industrial use, for example, in terms of punctuality. SOLUTION: This plant control system comprises: a process computer 1 for managing a plant; a PLC 2 interposed between the process computer 1 and plant equipment 3; and a general-purpose PC 7 for performing arithmetic processing based on arithmetic data received from the PLC 2 and transmitting the arithmetic result data to the PLC 2. The functions are distributed that the PLC 2 executes a sequential control logic while the general-purpose PC 7 executes complicated arithmetic processing. In addition, the arithmetic result data output from the general-purpose PC 7 is always transmitted through the PLC 2 and the consistency of the arithmetic result data is checked in the PLC 2.
