Abstract
A system-power-supply-source controller is used for controlling and monitoring the operations of a plurality of power supply sources associated with a plurality of logical units. The logical units each comprise power supply control units. Separate and independent power supplies are provided for each power supply control unit and its respective logical unit. The system-power-supply-source controller transmits and receives data to and from control units associated with each logical unit. A data signal line is provided for transferring data between the system-power-supply-source controller and the control units. An interruption line is arranged between the controller and the logical units, and each control unit produces a signal on the interruption line to inform the system-power-supply-source controller that its associated power supply source has malfunctioned.
