Microcontroller based distributed and networked control system for public cluster
We present the architecture and application of the distributed control in
public cluster, a parallel machine which is open for public access. Following
the nature of public cluster, the integrated distributed control system is
fully accessible through network using a user-friendly web interface. The
system is intended mainly to control the power of each node in a block of
parallel computers provided to certain users. This is especially important to
extend the life-time of related hardwares, and to reduce the whole running and
maintainance costs. The system consists of two parts : the master- and
node-controllers, and both are connected each other through RS-485 interface.
Each node-controller is assigned with a unique address to distinguish each of
them. We also discuss briefly the implementation of the system at the LIPI

Microcontroller based distributed and networked control system for public cluster
Abstract—We present the architecture and application of the distributed control in public cluster, a parallel machine which is open for public access. Following the nature of public cluster, the integrated distributed control system is fully accessible through network using a user-friendly web interface. The system is intended mainly to control the power of each node in a block of parallel computers provided to certain users. This is especially important to extend the life-time of related hardwares, and to reduce the whole running and maintainance costs. The system consists of two parts: the master- and node-controllers, and both are connected each other through RS-485 interface. Each node-controller is assigned with a unique address to distinguish each of them. We also discuss briefly the implementation of the system at the LIPI Public Cluster.
