Claim 8:
9. The method of claim 8, the method further comprising:
calculating a gap between the required supply current of the control device and the available current of the power source when the amount of available current of the power source is determined to be insufficient;
sending a second query over the control network to the second control device regarding an amount of supply current from the power source allocated to the second control device, before sending the command to the second control device;
receiving a second reply over the control network from the second control device about the amount of its allocated supply current; and
sending the command over the control network to the second control device instructing the second control device to send a release request to the power source to release an amount of supply current that is not larger than the allocated supply current of the second control device but is at least the same as the gap calculated, when the amount of allocated supply current of the second control device is higher than the gap.
