A multi-processor control device is adapted for use in a power supplying apparatus having a plurality of power supplying units, and includes at least two separate processors adapted to be connected to the power supplying units, and an alarm generator connected to the processors. The processors are adapted to jointly perform control functions associated with status monitoring and load balancing control of the power supplying units. The processors are connected to each other and further perform a continuous verification operation, in which signal exchange between the processors is continuously executed to enable each of the processors to verify whether or not other ones of the processors are operating normally. Each of the processors is capable of generating a warning signal in the event that any one of the processors fails to respond thereto due to malfunctioning of the latter. The alarm generator is activated by the warning signal from any of the processors so as to generate a warning output.
