<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restore electronic equipment to a normal operation without causing hang-up even if the conductive states of a power source to a plurality of CPUs existing in electronic equipment are different when the momentary interruption occurs in the main power source to the electronic equipment configured of a plurality of control parts respectively equipped with a CPU. <P>SOLUTION: When the momentary interruption occurs in a main power source, the power source of a controller board is completely turned off, and the power source of an engine board is kept on. In such a state, when the re-initialization of the CPU of the controller board is completed, an interrupt signal generation circuit outputs an interrupt signal to the CPU of both an engine board and a controller board. Thus, the CPU of both the engine board and the controller board enter interrupt processing, so that the communication between the CPU boards can be initialized. Therefore, it is possible to surely start the normal operation of the equipment without causing hang-up. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
