Abstract
A current controller for controlling a current supplied to a contact having an external power supply, includes a contact monitoring unit for monitoring the opening and the closing of the contact, a logical computing unit for analyzing a transition of the contact based on the monitoring result from the contact monitoring unit, and a short-circuit unit for short-circuiting the input route based on a direction from the logical computing unit. The logical computing unit turns on the short-circuit unit when the logical computing unit detects chattering at the opening of the contact, and turns off the short-circuit unit after the chattering ends at the closing of the contact.
