Abstract: A DC-DC converter includes a protection function for handling a reverse connection state, and a protection function for handling a predetermined abnormality other than a reverse connection state, while reducing conduction loss. The DC-DC converter includes a first protection circuit unit, and a switching element on a first conductive path of a high-voltage side switches to an OFF state upon a predetermined abnormal state being detected to prevent a current from flowing into a voltage conversion unit. Furthermore, a reverse connection protection circuit unit and a switching element, on a third conductive path between the voltage conversion unit and a reference conductive path, is configured to switch to an off state if at least a low-voltage side power supply unit is in a reverse connection state, preventing a current from the reference conductive path. Thus, a current is prevented from flowing toward a power supply that is improperly connected.

Abstract: Operating information (a pilot pressure, a pump pressure, a hydraulic oil temperature, an engine rotational speed, an hour meter and the like) of a hydraulic excavator and use environment information (operator information) of the hydraulic excavator are transmitted to a center server together with body information (for example, a model, a type, a type number, an identification number and the like) from the hydraulic excavator.

The center server predicts a replacement time of the replaceable component (hydraulic hose) using the use environment information of the hydraulic excavator in addition to the operating information and the replaceable component information of the hydraulic excavator.

A LPF extracts the charge control signal from the superposed signal from which the common-mode noise is removed, and outputs the extracted charge control signal to a charge control apparatus. The BPF extracts a communication signal from the superposed signal from which the common-mode noise is removed, and outputs the extracted communication signal to a communication unit via a protective circuit and a conversion circuit.
