Abstract: An object is to avoid the situation in which the power cannot be turned off. A control system is provided in which the first and second control units are connected. At least one of the first and second control units include: a stop control section for, if a condition for ending a predetermined operation mode is satisfied in that operation mode, performing stop control for having the control system in a low-power-consumption state while communicating with the other control unit; and a mode control section for having a mode undefined state in which the operation mode is instable at restoration from a reset state and for allowing, if a predetermined transition condition for allowing transition into the operation mode is satisfied in the mode undefined state, transition into the operation mode whose transition condition has been satisfied.

Abstract: A high frequency generating device used in a plasma ignition apparatus according to an embodiment includes a high frequency output unit, an output control unit, a current detecting unit, and an abnormality detecting unit. The high frequency output unit outputs a high frequency. The output control unit shifts a state of the high frequency output unit from a non-output state to an output-ready state of the high frequency. The current detecting unit detects a current that flows through a power-supply path to the high frequency output unit. The abnormality detecting unit detects output abnormality of the high frequency in the non-output state when a value of a current detected by the current detecting unit in the non-output state exceeds a non-output threshold.
