  • Patent number: 10270783
    Abstract: Monitoring and controlling modules of a system includes obtaining, with a portable piece of equipment associated with an installation operator, an identifier that encodes a physical network address of a communicating module, and obtaining, with the portable piece of equipment, an installation geolocation information item. The physical network address and the installation geolocation are transmitted to a central server by the portable piece of equipment, and the central server verifies prior storage of said physical network address. If the physical network address cannot be verified, the server stores the physical network address in association with the identifier.

  • Patent number: 9797986
    Abstract: A method for determining the geographical position of at least one equipment unit using a device constrained to move with the equipment unit, the method including a first step of determination by the device, when the latter is fixed and has not been subjected to any movement for a first particular time, of network data including the identifiers of beacons of communication networks situated in the environment of the device and the Received Signal Strength Indication of the signals sent by each beacon, a second step of said device sending the network data to a data processing unit via a communication network if the communication network is available, the determination step and the sending step being repeated after each movement of the device to a new position.

  • Patent number: 9679096
    Abstract: A method for reconstituting a diagram of an electrical installation including a plurality of electrical elements connected to a power source via protective elements arranged in an electrical panel. The wired electrical elements of the installation are identified using the electrical panel. The tree structure of the electrical connections of the elements identified and the position of each element in the arborescence are automatically determined. An electrical diagram of the installation is deduced using the tree structure of the electrical connections and the position of each element in the arborescence.

  • Publication number: 20170093880
    Abstract: A method and device for secure configuration and use of a system of modules for monitoring and/or controlling pieces of domestic, industrial or office equipment, the system including a communicating module, able to receive items of monitoring and control information from other modules of the system and to communicate the information items received to a central server via a first communication mode. The configuration method includes obtaining, with a portable piece of equipment associated with an installation operator, an identifier able to encode information items containing a physical network address of the communicating module, and obtaining an installation geolocation information item, and transmitting to the central server an information item containing the physical network address and the installation geolocation information item. A configuration authorisation is granted depending on a verification of prior memorisation of said physical network address in a memory of the central server.

  • Patent number: 5202818
    Abstract: The framework of a switchgear cabinet is formed by identical frame sections in the shape of corner-pieces whose edges are folded at right angles to form folded ends. The edges of the corner-pieces are moreover joined together by a diagonal sealing partition which provides the sealing between the two panels of the cabinet forming the angular junction. The panels with folded edges are fixed to the frame sections by parts.
