Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the automatic restart of a system operation even in the case of a power failure for a long time by loading the system information from an external storage device by a system loading function at the recovery of the power failure and restarting the system. CONSTITUTION:When the duration of a power failure counted by a timer function 8 exceeds a fixed level, the information stored in a CPU 1 and a memory 2 are saved into an external storage device 3 by a system saving function 9. Then the system working is discontinued. Then the function 8 starts its operation when the voltage of a main power supply 4 is reset at a normal level and a power voltage monitoring function 6 detects the recovery of the power failure. When the time counted by the function 8 exceeds a prescribed level, the information of the CPU 1 and the memory 2 are loaded from the storage device 3 by a system loading function 10. Then the system is restarted. Thus, the system operation is automatically restarted even in the case of a long time of the power failure.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. The power supply voltage monitoring function 6 detects whether a power outage has occurred by constantly monitoring whether the voltage of the main power supply 4 has dropped. If the voltage of the main power supply 4 drops here,
When the power supply voltage monitoring function 6 detects that a power outage has occurred, the power supply switching function 7 instantly switches the main power supply 4 to the auxiliary power supply 5.
At the same time, the timer function 8 counts the duration of the power outage. When the voltage of the main power supply 4 returns to a normal value before the power outage continues for a certain period of time, and the power supply voltage monitoring function 6 detects that the power outage has been restored,
The power source switching function 7 switches the power source from the auxiliary power source 5 to the main power source 4 and returns to the normal state.

However, since the battery capacity of the auxiliary power supply 5 is limited, if the duration of the power outage counted by the timer function 8 exceeds a certain period of time, the system save function 9 saves the information in the CPUI and the information in the memory 2. The information is saved in the external storage device 3, and the system is stopped. After this, the voltage of the main power supply 4 returns to the normal value, the power supply voltage monitoring function 6 detects that the power outage has been restored, and the timer function 8 counts from this point for a predetermined time (this is the time after the power outage is restored). (This is to check the stability of the main power supply.) When the system load function 10 loads the information in the CPUI and the information in the memory 2 from the external storage device 3, the system is restarted.

In this way, in this embodiment, even if there is a power outage for a long time, the electronic computer only temporarily interrupts its operation during the power outage and automatically completes all given jobs.

As explained above, the present invention uses a timer function to count the duration of a power outage, uses a system save function to save system information to an external storage device when a certain period of time is exceeded, and uses a system load function to save system information to an external storage device when the power is restored. By loading system information from an external storage device and restarting the system, there is an advantage that even if a long power outage occurs, the system can automatically resume operation.
