AUTONOMOUS UNIT FOR A NETWORK OF MEASURING SENSORS, NETWORK COMPRISING SAID AUTONOMOUS UNIT, AND COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL OF SAID NETWORK

摘要

The invention relates to an autonomous unit (20) comprising at least one measuring means (18), autonomous supply means (38), and means for transforming external energy into electrical energy, especially a photovoltaic panel which uses solar energy, can be incorporated into a network of autonomous units, and can communicate the measured value(s) by communication means (30). Said autonomous unit is characterised in that it comprises means which are used to store the electrical energy and are provided with a device for switching at least two capacitors, protected by protection means.
