Abstract
The present invention consists in disposing a first transmission unit in a control panel which is installed in a central control room, and a second transmission unit in a control device which is installed near an equipment to-be-controlled of a plant. The first transmission unit and the second transmission unit are connected by a cable. Each of the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit comprises a transmitter, a receiver, a serializer, a deserializer, change-over means and change-over control means. The serializer, which produces a serial information signal wherein a plurality of received information signals are arrayed in series, is connected to the transmitter. The deserializer separates a serial information signal delivered from the receiver, into a plurality of information signals. The plurality of change-over means connect a plurality of signal transmission cables respectively connected thereto, to the serializer or the deserializer. The plurality of change-over control means control connectional statuses of the corresponding change-over means on the basis of the respective information signals separated and delivered by the deserializer.
