Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent system-down due to deficiency of power capacity by generating a delay time at random when an operation/stop command signal sent from a remote control equipment to a terminal equipment is outputted from a communication control section. CONSTITUTION:A random delay time is generated when an operation/stop command signal sent from a remote controller 16 to a terminal equipment 11 is outputted from a communication control section 15 and after the delay time, a control signal operating/stopping the terminal equipment 15 is sent to a device control section 15 by a random number delay output section 21. Thus, each terminal equipment interface 20 receiving the signal inputs the operation/stop command signal from the communication control section 15 to the device control section 14 with a delay of random delay time. Thus, the simultaneous operation/ stop start by each terminal equipment 11 is prevented and system-down of the terminal equipment 11 due to deficient power capacity is prevented.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the terminal device interface of the present invention, it is possible to respond to simultaneous start/stop instructions of multiple terminal devices by circular or start/stop instructions that are output continuously within a short period of time. Since the operation of each terminal device is delayed by a random amount of time, a shortage of power supply capacity can be avoided even when multiple terminal devices that draw a large current are connected at the start of operation/stop.
