Abstract: The disclosure relates to an autonomous device for tracking the usage time of a generator set, capable of providing an operating time of the generator set. The module includes at least one first sensor (101) capable of measuring a first parameter representing a state of operation of said generator set (9), a data processor furnishing the characteristic information for an operating time, as a function of the first parameter, storage of the characteristic information for an operating time, and a transmitter capable of transmitting the characteristic information for an operating time to a terminal or an external server.

Abstract: A method is provided for communications in a network interconnecting at least two power generators, each power generator being connected to said network by at least one interfacing device capable of sending and receiving communications frames. The frames have at least one piece of supervision data and at least one piece of information data. The method includes an act of sending during which the same pieces of information data are sent at least twice, wherein two operations of sending frames have identical pieces of information data being separated in time by a predetermined time interval; and an act of receiving, implementing a systematic elimination of one of the frames received when two frames having identical pieces of information data have been received.

Abstract: A method of communications in a network interconnecting at least two power generators, each power generator being connected to said network by means of at least one interfacing device capable of sending and receiving communications frames, said frames comprising at least one piece of supervision data and at least one piece of information data. The method may include a step for sending during which the same pieces of information data are sent at least twice, two operations for sending frames to be sent that comprise identical pieces of information data being separated in time by a predetermined time interval, and a step for receiving, implementing a systematic elimination of one of the frames received when two frames comprising identical pieces of information data have been received.
