  • Patent number: 10574514
    Abstract: A duplex control device includes: two systems of duplex controllers and a switching device. The switching device includes, in a feedback path of each system, a transmitter configured to generate feedback data including data for fixing failure detection and a receiving device configured to determine the presence or absence of a fixing failure based on the feedback data output from the transmitter.

  • Patent number: 8359529
    Abstract: A sending part sends a data generated by a second device from the second device to a first device. A data collating part collates the data sent from the sending part with a data generated by the first device, and determines that it is abnormal when a mismatch between these data occurs. Thus, a data generated by the first device is collated with a data generated by the second device and when a mismatch between these data occurs, it is determined that it is abnormal, so that abnormality can be detected surely.

  • Publication number: 20080313426
    Abstract: An asynchronous communicating part executes an asynchronous communication between a first device and a second device. A first process executing part executes a processing in the first device by use of the asynchronous communication as a trigger. A second process executing part executes a processing in the second device by use of the asynchronous communication as a trigger. A trigger signal sending part sends a trigger signal from the first device to the second device. A response signal replying part replies a response signal from the second device to the first device when the second device receives the trigger signal. Thus, the first process executing part and the second process executing part execute the processing in the first device and the second device using the asynchronous communication as the trigger, so that the processing in the first device and the processing in the second device are synchronized.

  • Publication number: 20080215913
    Abstract: An anomaly detector detects anomaly of a first device. A second device reset part, in case that anomaly has been detected by the anomaly detector, resets a second device. A first device reset part, in case that anomaly has been detected by the anomaly detector, resets a first device. Further, a collating part collates data generated by the first device with data generated by the second device, and judges anomaly when these data are in disagreement with each other. A reset part, in case that the anomaly has been judged by the collating part, resets the second device.
