In this embodiment, the switching information received from the higher-level control unit 2 is written in the idle cell received by the switching information insertion unit 1. The monitoring control unit 3 monitors the appearance of the switching control cell in which the switching information is written, and when receiving the switching control cell, controls the branch circuit 4 to switch from the active system switch 5 to the standby system switch 6. I do. As a result, the switching control cell accumulates at the end of the buffer 51 in the active system switch 5,
The cells immediately following the switching control cell are accumulated in the buffer 61 of the standby system switch 6. When the switching control cell is received while the output signal S7 from the active system switch 5 is being selected, the supervisory control unit 7 switches to the selection of the output signal S8 from the standby system switch 6.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention.
This embodiment has a configuration in which data erasing units 9 and 11 are added to the embodiment of FIG. 1 (see FIG. 1). When performing redundant switching, the buffer 61 in the spare system switch 6 is set to a state in which nothing is written by the data erasing unit 11, and the switching information S 2 is transmitted from the higher-level control unit 2 to the switching information insertion unit 1. It The switching information insertion unit 1 writes the switching information S 2 in the empty cell (idle cell) of the data S 1 . Monitor control unit 3 that monitors the empty cells of the data S 3 input to the branch circuit 4.
When detecting an empty cell having switching information, the branch circuit 4 sends out the empty cell to the active switch 5 and then sends the same data S 6 as the data S 5 to the standby switch 6.
The branch circuit 4 sends the same data S 5 and S 6 to the active system switch 5 and the standby system switch 6 and writes them in the same manner. Focusing on the buffer 51 and the buffer 61 that is a backup system thereof, the order of the cells in the buffer 51 is earlier than the empty cell having the switching information, the empty cell having the switching information, and the empty cell having the switching information. Later cells are written as data. Further, in the buffer 61, cells that are later than the empty cells having the switching information are written as data. The monitoring control unit 7 monitors the selection circuit 8 that sequentially reads the data written in the buffer 51, and when it detects that the selection circuit 8 has read the empty cell having the switching information, And gives an instruction to switch from the active system switch 5 to the standby system switch 6. After the switching of the selection circuit 8 is completed, the branch circuit 4 stops the transmission of the data S 5 . After switching to the backup system switch 6, the selection circuit 8 sequentially reads the data written in the buffer 61 and outputs it as the data S 10 . The data erasing unit 9 erases the data remaining in the buffer 51 of the active system switch 5 in preparation for switching back from the standby system switch 6 to the active system switch 5. Switching back from the standby system switch 6 to the active system switch 5 is the reverse of the above operation. When the above procedure is performed, no cell carrying valid data is discarded, so that redundant switching can be performed without interruption.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a periodic cell generating unit 10 for generating control cells in the apparatus is provided at a constant period, time division cells are multiplexed in the input data S 1 , and switching information is written in the periodic cells to generate the first or first data. As in the case of the second embodiment, the active system switch 5 and the standby system switch 6 are switched to each other, and redundant switching can be performed without interruption.
