Over the past 12 years, Bryant has added a number of optional features to its basic sequential and changeover units. Until now, the top of the range was the versatile SMS single mains supply, or CMS dual supply with changeover, both allowing power outlets to be turned on or off according to a user set 'macro' program. With GPIs, timers and "GoTo" branching, users have been able to solve diverse mains power sequencing problems, for example to power up servers and RAID arrays over a number of minutes, say Bryant.

All Bryant intelligent mains units can detect outlet fuse failure, but the target has been a
