Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks / Communications equipment | | Spanish term or phrase: vigilancia de alimentación de los comunes | Communications Equipment for Signals / Real-Time Database
Could this be referring to the power monitor of/from the common circuits?
Thanks in advance.
"Los señalizaciones simples son las siguientes:
1. Entradas digitales del módulo SR. Son los puntos del 1 al 8 y son:
□ Del 1 al 4 son las vigilancias de los módulos de alimentación correspondientes al RFE1 o al RFE2 (según se trate)
□ El punto 5 corresponde con la **vigilancia de alimentación de los comunes** (GPS y relé de conmutación RCA)." |

| | common power supply checks/checking | Explanation:
Vigilancia = checking, keeping an eye on; surveillance (not appropriate here IMO, but some colleagues may disagree)
alimentación = (power) supply (or feed, depending on context/preference, am not sure quite which is best to use here)
common: in common.
You may find this worded differently in different sources.

Basically if it's about bit/information/data packet flow, then "feed" is what we want; but if it's the power supply per se, then...

I wouldn't use "monitor" to avoid confusion with any... monitors there may be in the system. "Monitoring" might work though... |

| Grading comment Thanks Neil. I've since realised that "los comunes" refers to "shared equipment", which was mentioned earlier in the text.

| Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, I had thought of "monitoring" actually. The fact that it's a noun made me wonder if it was talking about a piece of equipment, ie a monitor, but perhaps not.
