Abstract
A master-slave programmable controller arrangement is disclosed for implementing control schemes in various control system topologies. The arrangement employs a modular design which allows a master unit to set operational modes for one or more instances of the same generic slave unit. The master unit and the slave unit communicate via a communications interface. Each slave unit is configured by the master unit to monitor/control one or more components or stages of, for example, a power supply.
