FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. 1 is an engine control device. Reference numeral 2 denotes an engine controlled by the engine control device 1. Although not shown, the engine 2 is provided with various sensors for indicating an operation state, and signals from the sensors are transmitted to the engine control device 1.
Is input to The engine control device 1 includes an input processing circuit 4 that performs waveform processing on a signal from the sensor, and a CPU 3 that receives the sensor signal and calculates an optimal operation state of the engine 2.
And an output circuit 5 that receives the calculated result as a control signal and drives an actuator such as a fuel injection device or an ignition device attached to the engine 2 (not shown). The CPU 3 includes an MPU 7 operating according to a control program, a ROM 8 storing a program for operating the MPU 7, a RAM 9 storing an operation result of the MPU 7, a signal from the input processing circuit 4, and an output circuit. 5 which outputs a control signal to I
A communication circuit 10 for data communication with / O6 and an external device is built in. The engine control device 1 can be electrically connected to a memory rewriter 11 which is an external device.
It is connected to the communication circuit 10 in U3. Here, the RO
M8 is a flash ROM capable of erasing and writing contents under special conditions. A monitoring circuit 12 monitors the operation of the CPU 3. Monitor operation of CPU3
1 and the monitor signal 21 is the memory rewrite 1
1 is composed of the EOR of the monitor signal 21a from the CPU 1 and the monitor signal 21b from the CPU 3. When the monitor signal 21 disappears, the monitoring circuit 12 determines that the CPU 3 is abnormal, and restarts the CPU 3 with the restart signal 22.

FIG. 2 is a chart showing signal timings. When the power is turned on at time 30, the CPU 3 operates to output the monitor signal 21b, and the monitor signal 21 is input to the monitor circuit 12 via the EOR. Time 31
When the erasing and writing of data from the external device 11 to the flash ROM 8 are started, the operation of the CPU 3 stops and the output of the monitor signal 21b stops. At the same time, the monitor signal 21a is output from the external device 11, and the monitor signal 21 is input to the monitoring circuit 12 via the EOR. When erasure and writing of data from the external device 11 to the flash ROM 8 are completed at time 32, the CPU 3 operates again to output the monitor signal 21b, and the monitor signal 21 is input to the monitor circuit 12 via the EOR. With the above operation, the restart signal 22 from the monitoring circuit 12 causes the CPU 3
Data can be externally erased and written to the flash ROM 8 without restarting the flash ROM 8.
