Abstract:
A power network control system has a plurality of digital modules interconnected. A master logic unit in the network communicates with a specialized protocol to slave logic units in each module. The slave logic unit can instruct a power control circuit to turn-off or turn-on various power supply modules in addition to adjusting a power module in steps of plus or minus fixed percentage amounts.

Abstract:
Each digital module in a network is provided with a local power switching control subsystem wherein the local module uses a local power switching control logic card which controls main power and subordinate power units in a predetermined sequence. Power up/down conditions or incremental/decremental voltage conditions can be effected by a local operator or by an instruction from a remote master logic unit. The power subsystem can sense failure conditions and communicate this information to the remote master unit or to a local operator.
My first radio station was in Seattle. We had a guy named Larry Sharp who was the program director and the afternoon guy. And that was the best, because he was also on the air, so the listeners knew who he was. When hed drag us into the office to yell at us, wed secretly tape him and then play it
