Master control

Master control

Master control refers to a central supervisory control and monitoring station that is part of a control system. It consists of one or more human-machine interfaces that allow an operator to view information about remote sites and issue commands to the system. The overall system is a combination of local control systems and the master control system. Additionally, these systems are often integrated through a master control device.From: Critical Infrastructure [2019], A novel centralized supervisory with distributed control system-based microgrid [2022], Designing Training and Instructional Programs for Older Adults [2019]

2.175 Most applications, however, use a master control device at a central control location to operate a number of different valves. For these applications, the master control device can be a computer, PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), operations panel, or other automatic device. Signals sent to the valves through the control wire system activate the valves on command.

The overall system can be viewed as the combination of a number of local control systems and the master control system. The master control system takes care of the energy management. The local controllers are associated with the individual converters and they take care of MPPT for renewable sources and local voltage regulation systems. The master controller is embedded with the master computer. The local control schemes are built around the individual microcontrollers. The master controller is built in the PC with a GUI. The GUI gives the information of all operational parametric values and the modes of operation. The user can override the modes of operations through the GUI. The GUI on the master computer is programmed in C#. The master controller gets all relevant data through a microcontroller on the PC side. The PC side microcontroller interfaces the subsystems and the master control PC.
