To provide a power transmission mechanism management apparatus and a program management system which can easily realize addition and modification of software function for managing a power transmission mechanism and data related to the function.SOLUTION: The present invention is directed to a power transmission mechanism management apparatus 3 for managing a power transmission mechanism for transmitting, to a load side device 70, power of a an electric motor 4 in an industrial equipment system 1 in which a plurality of industrial equipment are operated in cooperation with one another. The power transmission mechanism management apparatus has an operation control unit for controlling the electric motor to make the power transmission mechanism executing a predetermined operation, a state management unit for executing a first management program to manage a state of the power transmission mechanism based on input information input from the electric motor, an external communication unit for communicating with an external device so as to acquire a second management program in response to a kind of the power transmission mechanism, and an updating unit for replacing the second management program with the first management program so that the state management unit can execute it.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】動力伝達機構を管理するソフトウェア機能や当該機能に関連するデータの追加や変更を容易に実現することが可能な動力伝達機構管理装置およびプログラム管理システムを提供する。【解決手段】複数の産業機器が連携して動作する産業機器システム１における電動機４の動力を負荷側装置７０に伝達する動力伝達機構を管理する動力伝達機構管理装置３であって、電動機を制御して動力伝達機構に所定動作を実行させる動作制御部と、第１の管理プログラムを実行し、電動機から入力される入力情報に基づいて動力伝達機構の状態を管理する状態管理部と、動力伝達機構の種類に応じた第２の管理プログラムを取得するように外部装置と通信する外部通信部と、第２の管理プログラムを、第１の管理プログラムと置き換えて、状態管理部が実行できるように更新する更新部と、を備える。【選択図】 図１
