  • Patent number: 10734177
    Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates an electromagnetic relay device and a control method thereof. In the electromagnetic relay device, a control circuit respectively provides driving power to switch on the two electromagnetic relay units disposed adjacent to each other, and then provides the first holding power and the second holding power, lower than the driving power, to the two electromagnetic relay units after the two electromagnetic relay units are switched on, thereby maintaining the two electromagnetic relay units in the switched-on status. When the electromagnetic relay unit receiving the second holding power is tripped because of the environmental factor, the electromagnetic relay unit receiving the second holding power generates and outputs the trip feedback signal to the control circuit, so that the control circuit increases the first holding power upon receipt of the trip feedback signal. The second holding power is lower than or equal to the first holding power.

  • Patent number: 10320641
    Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates a switch device for substation and an error warning method thereof. The switch device accesses and copies a generic object oriented substation event (GOOSE) packet, and when the copied GOOSE packet is determined to trigger an abnormal condition event, the switch device generates and transmits an abnormal condition event confirmation request to an upstream switch device. A warning message is issued when a ready response cannot be received by the switch device from the upstream switch device. Therefore, the technical effect of quickly and accurately finding the switch device triggering the abnormal condition event first to facilitate repair may be achieved.

  • Patent number: 10205650
    Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates a routing system with learning functions and a routing method thereof. By detecting a raw packet's packet header and an entry port receiving the raw packet, a routing message is queried from a path table by the packet header and the entry port. When there is not the routing message, the raw packet is routed by a kernel and the routing result is recorded in the path table to be the routing message. When there is the routing message, the packet header of the raw packet is replaced with a modified packet header recorded in the routing message, to form a modified packet, and the modified packet is transmitted from the transmission port recorded in the routing message, to achieve the technical effect of improving the routing performance for the packets with the same packet headers and the same entry ports.
