Power distribution system including a control module and a method of using the system

A control module comprising:

• a grid processor operable to:
• initiate an identification process using a particular phase of three available phases present within a power grid;
• and
• process power supply unit identifiers received over the particular phase of the three available phases;
• and
• a communication module operable to:
• transmit a identification initiation command to a first power supply unit for the first power supply unit to transmit a first corresponding identification command that is to be carried by a first power supply phase;
• and
• receive a first identification acknowledgement signal from a second power supply unit, wherein the first identification acknowledgement signal includes a second power supply unit identifier.

A power distribution system comprising:

• a control module including a first communication module;
• a first power supply unit coupled to the control module, wherein the first power supply unit includes a second communication module operable to:
• receive a first command transmitted by the control module;
• and
• transmit a corresponding identification command carried by a power supply phase;
• and
• a second power supply unit coupled to the control module, wherein the second power supply unit includes a third communication module operable to:
• receive the corresponding identification command from the first power supply unit;
• and
• transmit an identification acknowledgement signal to the control module in response to receiving the corresponding identification command.
