Abstract: There is provided a method for configuring a plurality of network devices of a wireless fire detection system comprising a configuration device, a gateway device wirelessly communicating with the configuration device, and the plurality of network devices wirelessly communicating with the gateway device and among them, the method comprising: determining, by the configuration device, configuration data of each one of the plurality of network devices for configuring each one of the plurality of network devices; transmitting, by the configuration device, the configuration data to the gateway device; and upon receiving the configuration data from the configuration device, distributing, by the gateway device, the configuration data to each one of the plurality of network devices according to predetermined time slots for transmitting the configuration data.

Abstract: A machine for winding coils comprising at least one support frame, a belt having a closed-ring configuration installed on the support frame so as to substantially surround it peripherally, and a platform on which the at least one support frame is positioned. The platform is provided with support elements configured to selectively support the at least one support frame in a distanced position with respect to the platform. Actuation members are associated with at least some of said support elements, and are able to be selectively activated to take at least some of said support elements to a first operating position constraining the support frame to the platform, and to a second non-operating position of non-interference with said support frame.
