Abstract
A load detection device includes: a load sensor; and a control device connected to the load sensor so as to perform bidirectional communication, wherein the load sensor includes a first controller acquiring load information based on a load detection signal and acquiring failure information based on relation between the load detection signal and a threshold signal, and a load information storage unit storing the load information as load information in failure detection as the failure information is switched to a state where a failure exists, the control device includes a second controller receiving the load information and the failure information in every predetermined communication period, and the second controller includes a waveform reproduction unit sequentially receiving the load information in failure detection and reproducing the load information in failure detection, and a failure determination unit determining presence of a failure based on the reproduced load information in failure detection.
