            Appeal No. 2005-2341                                                         Παγε 5              
            Application No. 10/420,187                                                                       



            disposed within a hydraulic shoveling machine.  A plurality of controllers 1, 2, 3 and 4         
            are mounted to the hydraulic shoveling machine.  The controller 2 is a pump controller           
            for receiving a manipulation amount, etc. of an operating lever and controlling a swash          
            plate of a hydraulic pump according to the received manipulation amount.  The pump               
            controller 2 also receives detection signals 10a, . . . from a plurality of sensors 10, . . .    
            such as hydraulic sensors provided in a hydraulic circuit.  The pump controller 2 stores,        
            as control data, the received detection signals 10a, . . . and the driving signals 11a           
            outputted to the respective actuators 11, . . . . The pump controller 2 also creates fault       
            data (error data) indicative of faults in parts controlled by the pump controller 2 on the       
            basis of the stored control data, signals received from manipulated switches and the             
            manipulated amounts of the operating levers, and stores them as fault data.                      


                   The controller 3 is a governor controller 3 for controlling a governor in response        
            to a manipulation amount in an operating lever.  The governor controller 3 outputs               
            driving signals 13a, . . . to a plurality of actuators 13, . . . such as governor motors.  The   
            governor controller 3 receives detection signals 12a, . . . from a plurality of such sensors     
            12, . . . as engine rotational sensors for detecting the rotational speed of the engine.         
            The governor controller 3 also stores, as control data, the received detection signals           
            12a, . . . and the driving signals 13a, . . . to be outputted.  Further, the governor            
            controller 3 creates fault data indicative of faults in parts controlled by the governor
