Abstract

PURPOSE:To continuously execute a minimum online processing regardless of trouble of a processor by setting the emergency operation mode in response to an emergency operation instruction from a terminal by an online controller and performing the required minimum prescribed processing by the processing function of the online controller in response to the processing request from the terminal hereafter. CONSTITUTION:If abnormality occurs in a processor 2 of a host 1 and the function is stopped, a preliminarily determined emergency operation instruction is inputted from an input terminal 4. An online controller 3 of the host 1 detects this emergency operation instruction by a data reception control part 31 to set the emergency operation mode, and an emergency operation control part 32 is started, and hereafter, the data reception control part 31 sends the processing request from the input terminal 4 not to the processor 2 but to the emergency operation control part 32, and processing results of the emergency operation control part 32 are sent to an output terminal 5 and are outputted in the same manner as normal operation. Thus, the minimum processing function is held in the host 1 though the processor 2 of the host 1 stops the function, and the emergency operation is possible.
