Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the entire discontinuation of operations of an automated machine group by making one of plural slave devices to substitute for the function of a master device if this master device which controls the operations of the slave devices has a breakdown. CONSTITUTION:A slave device 2 always monitors the state of a master device 1. When the device 1 has a fault by some reason, the device immediately receives the right of the device 1. Thus the device 2 substitutes for the device 1 and informs other slave devices 3 and 4 of a fact that the device 2 received the right of the device 1. When the device 1 is restored and a restoration signal is received from the device 1, the device 2 immediately returns the right of the device 1 to the device 1 and also informs the devices 3 and 4 of a fact that the device 1 has its right again.
