Abstract
In this paper the variety of controls and monitoring methods in use today are explored to develop an understanding of the advanced technologies available. Mechanical, solid-state and microprocessor-based packages are reviewed with particular attention given to multi-circuit centralized systems. As the costs of many systems continue to rise, questions regarding the value from the users´ perspectives are also explored
