Publication number: 20240106264Abstract: A plurality of systems of power supply circuits are provided between a power source and a load and are capable of cooperatively supplying power to the load using power of the power sources. In the power supply circuits, ground lines connected to a negative pole of the power source are configured independently for each system. A plurality of ground current detectors detect ground currents that are currents flowing through the ground lines of each system. The control units have ground line diagnosis portions that diagnose an abnormality in the ground lines based on the ground currents. When the ground line diagnosis portions determine that at least one system ground line is abnormal, the control units change the operation of the power supply circuit of the system determined to be abnormal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: HIROKAZU KAWASAKI, HIDEKI KABUNE

Patent number: 5301198Abstract: A method for debugging a sequential program, executable by a programmable controller on the basis of input instructions from a programming unit. The program is stored in an intermediate language, converted from a ladder language or a sequential function language input from the programming unit, and may be debugged using several methods. One method involves execution of single instructions starting at a predetermined word and executing an operator-specified number of instruction words. A second method involves a loop-specified process in which a starting word and a subsequent stopping word are identified as well as a number of loops to be executed between the two words; the operation preceding until the loop count is zero.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1991Date of Patent: April 5, 1994Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hirokazu Kawasaki
