DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM FOR FORKLIFT

摘要

A distributed control system is composed of a plurality of controllers mounted on a forklift, and a network providing connections between or among said plurality of controllers within said forklift. A first controller out of said plurality of controllers is configured to control a function in response to an interfacing signal received from a second controller out of said plurality of controllers. When not receiving said interfacing signal during a predetermined period, the first controller controls said function using data stored in said first controller in place of said interfacing signal.
