We present the architecture and application of the distributed control in public cluster, a parallel machine which is open for public access. Following the nature of public cluster, the integrated distributed control system is fully accessible through network using a user-friendly web interface. The system is intended mainly to control the power of each node in a block of parallel computers provided to certain users. This is especially important to extend the life-time of related hardwares, and to reduce the whole running and maintainance costs. The system consists of two parts : the master- and node-controllers, and both are connected each other through RS-485 interface. Each node-controller is assigned with a unique address to distinguish each of them. We also discuss briefly the implementation of the system at the LIPI Public Cluster.
