<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform improvement so as to attain safety in system with as little redundant means as possible. <P>SOLUTION: A switching device has a first register for collecting control data from an external controlling means, a second register for controlling the same control data from the external controlling means, a third register for transmitting data to a load to be controlled, a transmitting device for transmitting the data from the second register to the third register, a first logic comparison circuit for comparing the contents of the second register with those of the third register, and a second logic comparison circuit for comparing the contents of the first register with those of the second register. The first logic comparison circuit transmits an interrupting signal or a control signal to the external controlling device when it has two different contents. The second logic comparison circuit enables the transmitting device when it has two identical contents. The transmitting device is disabled in other cases. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
