  • Publication number: 20130166087
    Abstract: To make a replacement time difference between two power supply devices as small as possible when the two power supply devices serving as double power supply devices constitute a PLC, a power supply unit includes a temperature detection unit that detects an internal temperature of the own power supply unit, and an output adjustment circuit that adjusts internal power output from the own power supply unit so as to make smaller a difference between a detected temperature by the temperature detection unit of the own power supply unit and a detected temperature by the temperature detection unit included in the other power supply unit attached to a same PLC as the PLC to which the own power supply unit is attached.

  • Patent number: 8093905
    Abstract: A smoothing unit includes a first and a second smoothing capacitors, a first and a second discharge resistors connected in parallel to both ends of the first and the second smoothing capacitors, respectively. During a normal operation, both the first and the second smoothing capacitors are connected electrically to a live line. On the other hand, during a degradation diagnosis, the first and the second smoothing capacitors are alternately connected electrically to the live line at a predetermined timing, and a smoothing capacitor not electrically connected to the live line is subjected to the degradation diagnosis.
