Abstract: A method of controlling a semiconductor device using a microcomputer having a timer is provided. An interrupting step interrupts the semiconductor device using the timer, by generating a control signal for controlling a timing of turning on/off the semiconductor device. The interrupting step is performed in accordance with an interrupting signal which is input to the microcomputer at every occurrence of a predetermined period. The interrupting step comprises a setting step of giving a set value to the timer and a calculating step of determining a set value for a subsequent interrupting step, such that the set value determined in the calculating step is given to the timer in the setting step of the subsequent interrupting step. Therefore, a longer time can be allowed for determining a set value for the timer, and the processing speed required for the microcomputer can be reduced.

Abstract: When a measuring system for a solar battery is operated and controlled by one execution program, the execution program is roughly divided into a program portion corresponding to measurement of a sunshine time in one day and a program portion corresponding to measurement for several to about 20 years. In this case, even a small error in part of the program may stop the entire measuring system. To prevent this, the program is divided into an execution program for acquiring data, an execution program for generating information to be displayed, on the basis of the acquired data, and an execution program for recording the acquired data in a recording medium. Interprocess communication is used to exchange data between the execution programs.

Abstract: A method of controlling a signal generator using a microcomputer having a timer, the signal generator outputting a control signal for controlling a timing of turning on/off a semiconductor device by means of the timer, the method comprising an interrupting step started by an interrupting signal to the microcomputer every predetermined period, wherein the interrupting step comprises the setting step of setting a set value for the timer, the set value being calculated in a pre-interrupting step preceding the interrupting step, and the calculating step of determining a set value for the timer, the set value being used in a post-interrupting step succeeding the interrupting step, and wherein the setting step is performed before the calculating step in each of the interrupting steps. Therefore, a longer time is allowed for calculating a set value for the timer and a speed required for the microcomputer can be reduced.

Abstract: The temperature of a bypass diode of a solar cell module is measured by a temperature detector from the exterior of the solar cell module, and the results of temperature detection of each bypass diode are mutually compared to detect the presence or absence of failure in the solar cell module. Also at least one solar cell in the solar cell module is covered with a light shielding plate, then a current flowing in the bypass diode bypassing to the covered solar cell is detected, and a failed solar cell module is detected from the result of the current detection. Also the solar cell module is provided with a temperature detector capable of detecting the temperature of the bypass diode and the temperature of an internal portion of the solar cell module other than the bypass diode. In this way, it is possible to detect a failure in the solar cell module easily and precisely, and also to detect short circuit failure in the solar cell.
