NETWORK SYSTEM

A network system includes a higher-level device, a first intermediate device connected to the higher-level device, and a second intermediate device connected to the higher-level device. The first intermediate device is configured to control supply of an electric power to a first lower-level device via a first device being able to be controlled to interrupt. The second intermediate device is configured to control supply of an electric power to a second lower-level device via a second device being able to be controlled to interrupt, the second lower-level device being a redundant component for the first lower-level device.
