  • Valve opening and closing system and valve control device
    Patent number: 10641411
    Abstract: A valve opening and closing system includes: a site/center switching manual valve; a manual valve for opening and closing operation; an opening/closing switching electric driving valve that opens and closes a manual valve and that nullifies the manual valve for opening and closing operation; a center wireless transmitter that accepts and transmits an operation instruction including an opening and closing operation instruction and a forced closing operation instruction; and a site wireless transmitter, and a contact signal converter, the site side valve control device transmits both of the opening and closing operation instruction and the forced closing operation instruction to the contact signal converter when the site/center switching manual valve is switched to the center control side, and interrupts the opening and closing operation instruction and transmits the forced closing operation instruction to the contact signal converter when the site/center switching manual valve is switched to on site.

  • Electronic instrument
    Patent number: 7696898
    Abstract: An electronic instrument for which operating setting is possible according to operating signals transmitted from a plurality of kinds of remote operating devices of a differing operating signal structure, includes: an operating signal receiving section which receives the operating signals transmitted by the remote operating devices; an operating signal processing section which, when a specified operating signal based on a specified operating signal structure is input among the operating signals received by the operating signal receiving section, carries out a process control of the electronic instrument in accordance with the specified operating signal; and an operating signal conversion section which, being provided in a branch signal transmission system which diverges from a direct signal system, which directly transmits the operating signal from the operating signal receiving section to the operating signal processing section, converts an operating signal based on an operating signal structure which differ
