Abstract: A heat-dissipating structure for the expansion board architecture is provided. A fixing element disposed on the heat-absorbing substrate fixes the motherboard and the first expansion board. The heat-generating elements on the motherboard or the first expansion board are directly in touch with the heat-absorbing surface of the heat-absorbing substrate to absorb their heat. The heat-dissipating board extended from the side of the heat-absorbing substrate then dissipates the heat absorbed by the heat-absorbing substrate. The structure thus solves the problems that existing heat-dissipating structures occupy larger space and therefore cannot be effectively used in an expansion board architecture to dissipate heat produced by the heat-generating elements between the motherboard and the expansion board and that it is likely to have assembly tolerance. Using the structure can reduce the space and the assembly tolerance, but effectively enhance heat dissipation in the expansion board architecture.

Abstract: A method for checking a ring network redundancy includes a first exchanger and a second exchanger. When the first exchanger is set as a master, the plurality of second exchangers serve as the ring members; the first exchanger has a connection port, which is set as blocking, and the rest of connection ports are set as forwarding. The plurality of second exchangers regularly detects the plurality of connection ports for any outstanding status occurred in the connection status. When an outstanding status occurred, the CF5 is transmitted to the first exchanger and the first exchanger converts the connection port into the forwarding status, and the CF4 is transmitted to the plurality of second exchangers in order to renew the Mac address table. The method of sending out CF through a plurality of ring members can reduce the risk of losing the CF due to overloading network or having too much single network equipments, and thereby increase the reliability of the ring network during the redundancy checking.

Abstract: A method of detecting response time-out based on master-slave protocol architecture, which calculates the time required for a slave device to respond to a Modbus request sent by a detection device based on Modbus communication protocol. The method is to send a Modbus request to the slave device through a detection device, and to record the Modbus request sent time, and then to have the slave device provide to the detection device a response. The detection device calculates the response time-out based on the request sent time and the response received time By means of calculating the precise response time-out from the response time-outs which are gotten from the slave device respond to a predetermined number of Modbus requests, the user or manager can determine the response time-out required for the slave device precisely so as to give EXECUTE instruction or command at the accurate time point.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an auto-restore method for a power device by using a computer device to build a detecting/responding packet in an Ethernet exchanger, and the Ethernet exchange can mutually transmit the packet with the power device. If the Ethernet exchanger fails to receive a responding packet from the power device in the predetermined time and the predetermined value, the Ethernet exchanger will terminate power supply by the Ethernet and reset the power device, and the power device will be restored automatically accordingly. If the power device still cannot function normally after few times of reset, the Ethernet exchanger will shutdown the power supplied by the Ethernet and transmits an alarm signal to the computer device. Thus not only the consumption of the system and safety risk are reduced, but also promptly maintained, to increase the reliability, and save the supervision time of the operator and the cost of onsite maintenance.
