<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem in which detecting a fault that occurs on a communication path in a device whose hardware is divided into multiple partitions is time consuming since it is difficult to detect the location of the fault and necessary to identify a faulty part by manually changing parts. <P>SOLUTION: A control device in this invention includes: communication means that communicates with an external device using a first interface; detection means that detects the occurrence of a communication fault; first count means that counts the number of faults detected by the detection means; and count control means that controls the first count means to count up and controls count means in the external device to count up using a second interface, when the detection means detects the fault. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
