Dave-
I agree with you and had the same thought about Axil's rash conclusion. Some
solar panels have the same kind of mirco processor to control the voltage of
each panel in a group of many panels. The ones that are not producing are
identified and taken off line generally. A farm of wind turbines works the
same way. I think computer and micro processor mean the same thing.

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.

Rossi has publicly stated that he is using over 100 computers to implement
his latest control stratagem. From this meager bit of information we can deduce
fairly much what is going on with the 1 megawatt cluster E-Cat reactor. That
number of computers means he is using a SCADA system to do the command and
control function to keep his creation in line.
The term SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) usually refers to a
centralized system which monitors and controls the industrial infrastructure of
entire sites, or complexes of systems spread out over large areas (anything
from an industrial plant to a nation). Most localized control actions are
performed automatically by Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)s or by Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC)s. These are computer boards which are controlled by a low
level microcomputer usually housed in a rack mounted enclosure using a full
duplex bus structure to communicate with a master control station(MCS). The MCS
is a custom coded PC that hosts the bus network and provides a graphical user
interface to depict the operational parameters and status of all the E-Cats. In
a high availability application, the MCD runs in a ghosted mode with a hot
backup PC.
The cost of such a system(a high quality implementation) is substantial. This
digital Command and Control(C&C) will comprise a large fraction of the cost of
Rossi's 1 megawatt plant. Even the best of such systems is prone to bugs, out
of profile behavior and hacking attacks. Usually industrial customers will want
to integrate the E-Cat cluster reactor into their factory wide SCADA C&C system.
In my opinion, Rossi and Industrial heat have made a mistake in judgment on
this reactor design decision. A simplified fail safe (as in a nuclear reactor)
analog based control system is best suited to the 1 MW E-Cat cluster reactor.
