1. A mounted equipment information conversion apparatus that converts mounted equipment information used in a mounted equipment control device controlling a mounted equipment body, and outputs converted mounted equipment information to a vehicle body control device controlling a vehicle body connected to the mounted equipment body, the mounted equipment information conversion apparatus comprising:
a mounted equipment information acquiring part that acquires, from the mounted equipment control device, the mounted equipment information including control information that is used for controlling a device to be controlled provided to the mounted equipment body, mounted-equipment-side identification information for identifying the control information, and a transmission instruction for transmitting the mounted equipment information to an external device managed by an operator who manufactures;
a mounted equipment information converting part that converts mounted-equipment-side identification information included in the mounted equipment information acquired by the mounted equipment information acquiring part into vehicle-body-side identification information, which differs from and is associated in one-to-one correspondence with the mounted-equipment-side identification information, according to a conversion rule in which the vehicle-body-side identification information used in the vehicle body control device and mounted-equipment-side identification information are associated with each other in one-to-one correspondence; and
an output control part that:
if the transmission instruction including the instruction information indicating that the mounted equipment information is to be transmitted is acquired together with the mounted equipment information, causes a converted mounted equipment information to be transmitted to the external device without causing the converted mounted equipment information to be stored in the storage part of the vehicle body control device, and
if only the mounted equipment information is acquired, causes the converted mounted equipment information to be stored in the storage part of the vehicle body control device.
