Communication process for elements composing a home or industrial electrical energy distribution network and devices for implementing the same

摘要

A communication process between two constitutive elements of the network of electricity distribution in a domestic or industrial premise including circuit breakers, electrical modules, switches, electrical plugs and light connection devices. The process including the following steps: assignment by a protocol such as DHCP, BootP or RARP of a first IP address to a first element of the power distribution network, assignment of a second IP address to a second element, and establishment of a communication between the first and second elements of the power distribution network.

1. A process for communication between two modules or elements in a single phase or three-phase electrical energy distribution network for a home or industrial premise comprising the steps of:
providing said electrical energy distribution network comprising the following elements:
circuit beakers;electrical modules;switches;electrical plugs; andlight connection devices; assigning a first IP address to a first element of said electrical energy distribution network and loading said first IP address within said first element; assigning a second IP address to a second element of said electrical energy distribution network and loading said first IP address within said second element; and establishing a communication between said first and second elements based on said first and second IP addresses; wherein said first and second elements are configured to enter into a configuration mode whereby said first and second IP addresses are exchanged for the purpose of creating an association between said first and second elements, wherein said first element is a switch and said second element is an electric plug, a wall plug or socket, a light connection device, or a socket intended to allow connection of an electrical light whereby said association results in said switch controlling the switch on or off of said second element.
