Abstract
Disclosed is a supervisory control system for remotely monitoring and controlling at least one operational device. The system includes at least one microremote in association with an operational device and includes an input device for receiving a signal indicative of a parameter associated with the operational device and logic circuitry for controlling the operation of the microremote. A microcomputer is in communication with the microremote(s) by way of a communication link, and includes input devices for receiving the signal from the microremote, a memory device for storage of a program or algorithm, and a microprocessor for controlling the operation of the microcomputer and for utilizing the program or algorithm for operation of the supervisory control system. A personality module is removably placed in communication with the microcomputer and includes logic circuitry for controlling the operation of the personality module, and a memory device for storage of at least one program or algorithm. The personality module provides the program or algorithm to the memory device in the microcomputer for use thereby to provide supervisory and control directions for operation of the overall supervisory control system.
