Abstract
There is expected a technique capable of, in the case where supply of power to a control apparatus is cut off, performing appropriate processing on other units. The control apparatus receives supply of power from an external power supply to a power supply unit and supplies power to a main arithmetic unit and a secondary arithmetic unit. The power supply unit is configured to, when receiving a detection signal indicating that a voltage of power supplied to a plurality of arithmetic units falls below a predetermined threshold value, send a shutdown command onto a local bus via a bus master part, and also send the shutdown command to the secondary arithmetic unit.
