摘要:
An apparatus for preventing corrosion of a contact includes a detection conducting path connected to the contact, a variable impedance unit and a comparing and switching unit. The variable impedance unit is connected to the detection conducting path. The variable impedance unit is switchable between (i) a first impedance used for passing a corrosion prevention current into the detection conducting path and (ii) a second impedance through used for passing a current, which is used for detecting a connection state of the contact, into the detection conducting path. The first impedance is lower than the second impedance. The comparing and switching unit compares a detected value with a corrosion threshold, compares the detected value with a restoration threshold and switches the variable impedance unit based on comparing results.

An input processing circuit is interposed between input terminals and input ports of an MPU. An output processing circuit is interposed between output ports of the MPU and output terminals. The input processing circuit includes switch sections and processing sections. The output processing circuit includes switch sections and processing sections. A switch control section switches the switch sections based on switch information stored in a switch information storage section to switch a connection relationship between the input terminals and the input ports, processing for an input signal, a connection relationship between the output ports and the output terminals, and processing for an output signal.

An apparatus for preventing a contact from being corroded includes a power source, a signal line connected to the contact, a resistance connected to the signal line, a switching section, a comparator, and an overheat detecting section. The switching section has a switch between the power source and the signal line. An impedance of the switch is smaller than that of the resistance when the switch is turned on. The comparator compares a potential of the signal line with a predetermined potential to determine as to whether or not the contact is corroded. The comparator outputs a driving signal when the comparator concludes that the contact is corroded. The overheat detecting section detects whether or not temperature of the apparatus exceeds a predetermined temperature. The overheat detecting section decreases current flowing through the switching section when the temperature of the apparatus exceeds the predetermined temperature.

A method for preventing corrosion of a contact, includes comparing a potential of a signal line connected to the contact with a predetermined potential corresponding to the corrosion of the contact; flowing a corrosion-prevention current into the contact when a result of the comparing shows that the contact is corroded; inputting into the signal line a signal used for judging a logical value of a connection state of the contact; and in the magnitude relation, setting the predetermined potential on another side of a threshold level used in the judging of the logical value of the connection state of the contact.
