PURPOSE:To shorten the time required for investigating a fault cause by permitting clock fault detection circuits to detect clock abnormality and permitting a fault processing program to log a clock fault occurrence phenomenon and a clock fault occurrence part. CONSTITUTION:When abnormality occurs in a clock supplied from a clock distribution circuit 5 to processors 1-3 through clock signal lines 111-113, 121-123 and 131-133, the clock fault detection circuits 61-63 detect it, and inform an interruption signal generation circuit 7 of it through signal lines 141-143. The processor where the clock fault has occurred is recognized and a fault processing control part 82 executes the designated fault processing program by permitting the interruption signal generation circuit 7 which has received information to generate an interruption signal so as to interrupt it into a maintenance diagnosis processor 8 and permitting an interruption processing control part 81 to read a status read register 71. Thus a clock fault processing can be executed in a short time. |
