明を省略する。As a general method, the notification destination processor 1 sends a state change transmission request signal to one notification source processor at - times, and receives the status change signals of the notification source processors in turn. , this is considered to be a special case of the method of simultaneously sending state change sending request signals to a plurality of notification source processors, which will be described below, and therefore will not be described.

出部１０．１１を起動し、プロセッサの状態変化を信号
化し、状態変化信号として送出する。The notification destination processor 1 sends a first notification to each notification source processor.
Assume that the state change transmission request signal is sent for the second time. When the request signal receiving section 8.9 receives this state change transmission request signal, the control section 12.13 that has received it activates the state change signal transmission section 10.11, converts the state change of the processor into a signal, and outputs the state change. Send as change signal.
次に、通知先のプロセッサ１は、各通知元のプロセッサ
に第２回目の状態変化送出要求信号を送出したとする。Next, it is assumed that the notification destination processor 1 sends a second state change transmission request signal to each notification source processor.

態変化信号を受信しないとタイムアウトしてタイマ部４
が動作し、要求信号送出部３に再起動信号を出力する。Similarly to the first time, each processor that receives this state change sending request signal activates the state change signal sending unit 10.11, converts the state change of the processor into a signal, and attempts to send it as a state change signal. Here, if some kind of failure occurs with the notification source processor 6 and the state change transmission request signal and the state change signal are lost due to this, the state change signal receiving unit 3 If the state change signal is not received, timeout occurs and the timer section 4
operates and outputs a restart signal to the request signal sending section 3.
要求信号送出部３は、再度、状態変化送出要求信号を通
知元のプロセッサ６に送出する。このようにして、受信
しそこなった状態変化信号を検出し、再要求するので、
常に各プロセッサの最新の状態変化情報を知ることがで
きる。The request signal sending unit 3 sends the state change sending request signal again to the processor 6 that is the notification source. In this way, the missed state change signal is detected and re-requested, so
You can always know the latest state change information of each processor.
ここで、各通知元のプロセッサに状態変化送出要求信号

ある場合には、通知元のプロセッサを任意の数の群に分
け、これらの群ごとにタイマ部４を設ける方法もある。Here, when outputting the state change sending request signal to each notification source processor at the same time, it is possible to monitor the arrival of the state change signal of all notification source processors by using only one timer section 4. If the number of notification source processors increases and there is a possibility that two or more non-deliveries may occur at the same time, the notification source processors are divided into an arbitrary number of groups, and the timer section 4 is set for each of these groups. There is also a way to set it up.

号を受信するように構成する方法もある。In addition, one notification source processor is selected for each group of notification source processors, and a status change transmission request signal is simultaneously sent to the notification source processors of each selected group, and all of the notifications described above are sent. Similarly to the case of a group of original processors, there is also a method of configuring the processor to receive a state change signal in response to this state change sending request signal.
以上説明したように、本発明は、状態変化送出要求信号

情報を速かに得ることができるという効果が有る。As explained above, the present invention measures the elapsed time after sending the state change sending request signal, and if the state change signal receiving means does not receive the state change signal within a predetermined period of time, the request signal sending means restarts the request signal. By providing time measurement means for outputting a signal, and means for immediately re-sending a state change transmission request signal if the state change transmission request signal is lost for some reason, the state change of each processor can be measured. This has the effect that information can be obtained quickly.
