ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a runaway detection/restoration device which enables an automatic restoration of a high degree of safety and carries out the control of devices when the runaway of a CPU has been generated. The runaway detection/restoration device is provided with runaway detecting means such as a watchdog timer 89 or the like which monitors troubles in a sequential control program for the device operations, and a memory 87 which stores information related to the runaway detected by the runaway detecting means, for the CPU 82 which controls the devices. The runaway detection/restoration device judges whether or not the CPU 82 is automatically restored according to the information related to the runaway stored at the time of the detection of a new runaway, such as the number of times runaway was detected, operation mode at the time of the detection of the runaway and the generation frequency of the runaway.
