When the operator requests the output of performance data, if all the pieces
of performance data in the requested time range could not be acquired, the output
control section of each of supervisory control devices M1 to Mn will determine
the cause. When the cause that all the pieces of performance data could not be
acquired is the execution of zero suppression at nodes N1 to Nn, the data
items related to the pieces of performance data that could not be acquired are
made zero and the resulting data is outputted.
