Abstract:
A route switching device includes a first selection section for outputting a first main signal, a second selection section for outputting a first switching command signal, a first transmitter transmitting an inputted signal, a second transmitter, a first receiver, a second receiver, a first monitor for outputting an abnormality notification if an abnormality in a second main signal is detected, and outputting a first switching command notification if second information is included in a second switching command signal, a second monitor, and a third selection section for obtaining a second main signal from a selected receiver. The first selection section and the second selection section switches a selection destination when a first switching command notification is input. The second selection section outputs a switching command signal including second information when an abnormality notification is input. The third selection section switches a selection source when an abnormality notification is input.

Claim (Index 10):
A route switching method for a route switching device, the route switching device comprising:\n a first selection section configured to output a first main signal to a selected transmission section; a second selection section configured to output a first switching command signal to a selected transmission section; a first transmission section and a second transmission section configured to transmit an inputted signal to a counterpart device; a first receiving section configured to split a signal received from the counterpart device and output split signals to a first monitor section and a third selection section; a second receiving section configured to split a signal received from the counterpart device and output split signals to a second monitor section and the third selection section; the first monitor section configured to monitor a signal inputted from the first receiving section; the second monitor section configured to monitor a signal inputted from the second section; and a third selection section configured to obtain a second main signal from a selected receiving section, the route switching method comprising: in a normal state, causing the first selection section to select the first transmission section, causing the second selection section to select the second transmission section and to output the first switching command signal including first information, causing the first receiving section to receive the second main signal, causing the second receiving section to receive a second switching command signal, and causing the third selection section to select the first receiving section; if one of the first monitor section and the second monitor section detecting an abnormality of the second main signal, causing the second selection section to output the first switching command signal including second information, and causing the third selection section to change selection; and if one of the first monitor section and the second monitor section detecting second information in the second switching command signal, causing the first selection section and the first selection section to change selection.
