Abstract: A power controller for supplying separately a regulated power source to a plurality of "S" lines and for monitoring line-status conditions on the "S" lines so that each "S" line is controlled independently includes an analog section for delivering power independently to each of the "S" lines and for detecting line-status conditions on the "S" lines. The power controller also includes a microprocessor interface section for communicating with the microprocessor and for controlling the analog section. The analog section is formed of a plurality of output drivers for supplying individually the power to the plurality of "S" lines and line-status detector circuits for sensing line-status conditions on the "S" lines to provide a set of status logic signals for each "S" line. The microprocessor interface section includes an address register for storing a plurality of addresses corresponding to the line-status conditions to be monitored on the "S" lines.
