The invention discloses a collaborative method for intelligently distributed type FA and main station centralized type FA. The collaborative method comprises the following steps of 1, establishing a data interaction and unified self-description model for the intelligently distributed type FA and the main station centralized type FA; 2, establishing a collaborative rule between the distributed type FA and the main station centralized type FA and 3, after a fault occurs, performing data interaction between the distributed type FA and the main station centralized type FA according to the collaborative rule in the step 2 so as to complete the collaborative control between the distributed type FA and the main station centralized type FA. The collaborative method is reasonable in design; by virtue of the collaboration of the distributed type FA and the main station centralized type FA, before the main station centralized type FA monitors fault information and starts analysis at the fault occurring moment, the distributed type FA completes fault isolation firstly, and up supplies event processing information; after the main station centralized type FA receives the event processing information, an optimal recovery path is analyzed to complete fault recovery treatment; and therefore, power outage time is shortened.
