A method for startup, control and monitoring of power supply components of at least one system utilizes a control system for power supply components, such as electrical power supplies, electrical safety devices or metering units, of the at least one system, and by which an energy supply of control and/or computer units of the at least one system is monitored and controlled, wherein the control system includes a central server unit to which a database for storing specific data and/or parameters of respective power supply components is assigned, includes client units for communication and for transmitting the specific data and/or parameters from and to the power supply components and includes local server units for communication which are permanently assigned to the respective power supply components, where a separate client unit can be generated for each power supply component connected and identified via a communication network.

Control system and associated method for startup, control and monitoring of power supply components

A method for monitoring, control and shutdown of control and/or computer units of a system, wherein the control and/or computer units are supplied with power via power supply components, where a control application is installed on each control and/or computer unit, and connection to a control system is subsequently established via a communication network, a detection call is used to identify power supply components and all control applications installed on the control and/or computer units, the power supply components are then assigned identified control applications installed on the control and/or computer units supplied by a particular power supply component, assignments between power supply components and identified control applications are saved centrally or locally, power supply components being monitored for event alarms, and upon an event alarm within a power supply component, the assigned control application initiates a definable action, or a shutdown, on the control and/or computer unit.
