Abstract
In telecom power supply systems most functions are supervised. The traditional solution is to use a centralised control unit. This requires a lot of cabling and is not very flexible. The emergence of small, powerful and inexpensive microcontrollers has made a new distributed control system possible. A system where collection of data is done close to the actual component. Systems vary in size and complexity, so the system has to be both modular and scalable. In this paper we try to explain why a distributed system is preferable and how far to go
