Abstract: By providing a mountain-shaped mountain portion (5a) protruded from a surface of a plunger (5) facing a valve seat to the inside of a rubber member (8), a dimensional change amount of a valve seat abutting portion (8a) in an opening and closing direction decreases, and thus it is possible to suppress change in characteristic. Also, it is possible to secure a rubber deformation amount sufficient for absorbing impact when the valve seat abutting portion (8a) collides with the valve seat, thereby suppressing an operation sound.

Abstract: In network communication system, a master unit's controller transmits a command signal to a CXPI bus. The controller specifies values of turning-on intervals of loads as delay time lengths in a delay area of the command signal, and specifies ports of slave units in an output port specification area in a specified order corresponding to turning-on order of the loads. The microcomputer of each slave unit receives the command signal from the CXPI bus. The microcomputer acquires a specified number of a port of the own slave unit specified as an instruction target in the output port specification area, integrates specified values in the delay area, and outputs the operation signal to the specified port at a timing delayed from the reception of the command signal by the time length calculated by the integration. The number of specified values is a number obtained by subtracting 1 from the specified number.

Abstract: Provided is an arithmetic processing to reduce a number of parts as it is not necessary to prepare an operation device for each input processing logic. A plurality of types of input processing logics is stored in the ROM, and CPU selects one of the plurality of types of input processing logics and executes input processing according to the selected input processing logic. As a result, there is no need to prepare the ECU for each input processing logic, reducing the number of parts.
