ABSTRACT:
A console connecting device contains a central processing unit that includes a communication device for transmitting a command and receiving an event message from a set of consoles. A re-connector is provided for initializing an interface and re-transmitting the command upon resetting of the interface to the consoles. Each of the consoles include an inheritor for inheriting information upon failure of the counterpart console and means for returning the event message by executing the received command. An interface connection is interposed between the central processing unit and the two consoles and includes a timer for detecting reception of the event messages from the console within a predetermined period of time after reception of the command from the central processing unit, and a switch for switching connection from one of the two consoles to the other console in response to a time-out signal representative of the fact that the event message from the console is not received within the predetermined period of time.
