Abstract
A drive control device includes: an embedded microcontroller including a program for outputting a drive control signal to a driving unit; a first timer circuit for outputting a cyclic signal to the embedded microcontroller, wherein the embedded microcontroller reads the cyclic signal outputted from the first timer circuit and transmits the cyclic signal to output a transmission signal as part of operation of the program; and a second timer circuit provided externally to the embedded microcontroller, wherein the transmission signal is inputted to the second timer circuit, the second timer circuit obtains temporal change of the transmission signal for a time set in advance, and the second timer circuit outputs, based on the obtained result, a signal indicating one of different operation states of the embedded microcontroller depending on whether or not there is continuous temporal change of the transmission signal.
