<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable operation of a plurality of control execution stations controlling a plurality of controlled devices under stable environment when a failure occurs in a monitor control station submitting control instructions to the plurality of control execution stations. <P>SOLUTION: This distributed control system has: a plurality of monitor control stations (OPSs) 1-1 to 1-M each diagnosed with the presence/absence of its own failure; and the plurality of control execution stations (CNSs) 2-1 to 2-N executed with the instructions of control by the monitor station, controlling the controlled devices. The OPS having no failure is set to a master OPS to each CNS, and another OPS having no failre as the result of the diagnosis is selected as the next master OPS to each CNS. When the failure occurs in the OPS set to the master OPS, the OPS selected as the next master OPS is set to the master OPS. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
