Abstract

PURPOSE:To monitor hardware in an SBY overall control processor by providing an ACT control processor with a SBY processor group and a function recognizing the normalcy of the SBY control processor. CONSTITUTION:An ACT communication bus control circuit 1-3(A) and an SBY communication bus control circuit 1-3(S) exchange information between processors. The ATC control processor 1-4(A) and the SBY control processor 1-4(S) are equipped with interface circuits 1-5 for two sets of processors 1-3. The processor 1-4(A) is connected to both processors 1-3 by a connection switching circuit 1-6, while a processor 1-4(B) acts so as to be separated. The processor 1-4(A) runs an ACT-based system, recognizes the normalcy of the SBY-based processor group, issues a diagnosis command to the processor 1-4(S) through an interface 1-7 between processors, and recognizes the normalcy of the SBY control processor, by receiving response.
