Abstract
A supply facility supplies fluid to a movable object through a feed pipe connected with a connection port of the movable object. A feed connector of the feed pipe is rotatable around its axis when the feed pipe is connected with the connection port. At least one of the feed pipe of the supply facility and the movable object has multiple infrared communication elements. When the feed connector of the feed pipe is connected with the connection port of the movable object, at least one of the infrared communication elements is communicable with an infrared communication device on the other side via an infrared communication, regardless of the rotation phase.
