Abstract
A voltage regulator controller having a means for automatic configuration in response to accessory devices is taught. Briefly stated, voltage regulator controller has a backplane which allows for interfacing with a plurality of accessory type modules such as communications modules, I/O modules and the like. The voltage regulator controller interrogates this bus and hence the accessory devices attached thereto and automatically configures the accessory devices found and activates appropriate handling algorithms for each device found.
