Axil, I suspect that you are misreading what Rossi stated. Why would you not think that each small ECAT unit has its own microcontroller? There are approximately 100 individual ECATs and he has chosen to control each one independently while a main control system coordinates them.
If what I believe is true then the power handling required to activate the internal heating sections is modest. This lowers the cost of that function by a considerable amount. Also, failure of each unit can be monitored and the faulty ones located quickly and easily replaced. Rossi likes to operate in a practical, simple manner.

From this meager bit of information wecan deduce fairly much what is going on with the 1 megawatt clusterE-Cat reactor. That number of computers means he is using a SCADAsystem to do the command and control function to keep his creation inline. Theterm SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) usually refersto a centralized system which monitors and controls the industrialinfrastructure of entire sites, or complexes of systems spread outover large areas (anything from an industrial plant to a nation).Most localized control actions are performed automatically by RemoteTerminal Unit (RTU)s or by Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)s.These are computer boards which are controlled by a low levelmicrocomputer usually housed in a rack mounted enclosure using a fullduplex bus structure to communicate with a master controlstation(MCS). The MCS is a custom coded PC that hosts the bus networkand provides a graphical user interface to depict the operationalparameters and status of all the E-Cats. In a high availabilityapplication, the MCD runs in a ghosted mode with a hot backup PC. Thecost of such a system(a high quality implementation) is substantial. This digital Command andControl(C&C) will comprise a large fraction of the cost ofRossi's 1 megawatt plant. Even the best of such systems is prone to bugs, out ofprofile behavior and hacking attacks. Usually industrial customerswill want to integrate the E-Cat cluster reactor into their factorywide SCADA C&C system. In myopinion, Rossi and Industrial heat have made a mistake in judgment onthis reactor design decision. A simplified fail safe (as in a nuclear reactor) analog basedcontrol system is best suited to the 1 MW E-Cat cluster reactor.
