A distributed power supply is incorporated in a device including a
plurality of PCB. An on-board power supply is provided in the distributed
power supply. The on-board power supply individually supplies a secondary
power to each PCB using a primary power. Each PCB includes a primary
power supply monitoring circuit, a PCB internal power supply monitoring
circuit, and a pulse generation circuit. The primary power supply circuit
detects an abnormality in the voltage of in the primary power supplied to
the on-board power supply. The PCB internal power supply monitoring
circuit restarts the PCB when the abnormality is detected. The pulse
generation circuit transmits a restart signal to the other PCBs in the
device.
