Abstract
A power conversion device includes a first relay unit, one or more second relay units, and a safety control unit. The first relay unit includes a first logic processing unit that transmits a response signal supplied from a first power conversion unit and a response signal of a downstream side of its first relay unit to an upstream side. Each of the one or more second relay units includes a second logic processing unit that transmits a response signal transmitted from one second power conversion unit among the one or more second power conversion units and a response signal transmitted from a downstream side of the one second relay unit to an upstream side of the one second relay unit. The safety control unit is disposed on an upstream side of the first logic processing unit and configured to perform functional safety control of the first power conversion unit and the one or more second power conversion units by transmitting a control command for functional safety control to the first relay unit and thus monitor a state of the functional safety control of the first power conversion unit and states of the functional safety control of the one or more second power conversion units.
