1. A control apparatus for controlling an industrial machine, comprising a processor, the processor being configured to:
execute a diagnostic function for diagnosing deterioration of each component of the industrial machine and output an alarm signal in response to deterioration equal to or more than a predetermined level in each component, the diagnostic function being repeatedly executed at predetermined timing;
output a stop command to the industrial machine based on the alarm signal and informs that the industrial machine is in an alarm stop state, in which the industrial machine is stopped;
and receive cancellation operation for cancelling the alarm stop state and restart the industrial machine,
wherein the processor cancels the alarm stop state brought on by the diagnostic function based on the cancellation operation, and continues operation of the industrial machine until a next execution of the diagnostic function that is executed at a next timing of the predetermined timing.
