Abstract

Abstract Translated from French Ce procédé utilise la technique des courants porteurs entre des émetteurs-récepteurs (2, 3..) dits esclaves comportant chacun un microcontrôleur (4, 5..), et une régie-maître (6) comportant un microcontrôleur (7) dont la mémoire contient des adresses relatives aux esclaves et à l'habitation. Selon l'invention, lors du branchement d'un esclave sur le réseau, on appuie sur un bouton poussoir (13) de manière à déclencher un sous-programme (14) de fabrication d'un message contenant les informations suivantes : diffusion générale ; demande d'attribution d'adresse ; adresse de l'esclave, on envoie (15) le message, on attend (16) une réponse de la régie-maître, puis dès réception de la réponse, l'esclave demandeur met en mémoire (17) l'adresse d'habitation et l'adresse de l'esclave. <IMAGE> This process uses the technique of carrier currents between transceivers (2, 3 ..) called slaves each comprising a microcontroller (4, 5 ..), and a master control (6) comprising a microcontroller (7) whose memory contains addresses relative to the slaves and the house. According to the invention, when a slave is connected to the network, a push button (13) is pressed so as to trigger a subroutine (14) for manufacturing a message containing the following information: general broadcast; address assignment request; slave address, send (15) the message, wait for (16) a response from the master control room, then upon receipt of the response, the requesting slave stores (17) the residential address and the address of the slave. <IMAGE>
