SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING COMMUNICATION SETTING

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for supporting a communication setting which efficiently execute the setting of address information of a measuring instrument when adding a new measuring instrument or changing a function required for the measuring instrument. SOLUTION: The system for supporting a communication setting is used for supporting a communication setting for transferring data among a plurality of apparatuses. A device 20 for supporting a communication setting includes: a communication information reception means (communication setting part 122) to receive communication setting information of a measuring instrument 30 connectable to an operation monitoring system 1; and a communication means (communication part 150) to transmit the communication setting information of the measuring instrument 30 to a communication converter 20. The communication converter 20 includes a determination means (determination part 210) to determine whether the communication setting information of the measuring instrument 30 is effective or ineffective by referring to configuration information of the measuring instrument 30 actually connected to the operation monitoring system 1 which is stored in a control apparatus 40 when receiving the communication setting information.
