  • Patent number: 9527460
    Abstract: A modular rack intended for an aircraft includes a set of electrical machines each equipped with a position sensor including inverters, a supervision member, a first communication channel to transmit to each of the inverters the inverter setpoint determined by the supervision member, and a second communication channel to transmit a position information item to each of the inverters, each of the inverters including a way to generate an electrical signal as a function of the inverter setpoint and of the position information transmitted by the supervision member. The first and second communication channels include a single link for the supervision member and the inverters, and transmitting both the inverter setpoints and the position information items.

  • Publication number: 20140203631
    Abstract: A modular rack intended for an aircraft comprising a set of electrical machines each equipped with a position sensor comprises: a number of inverters, a supervision member, a first communication channel, making it possible to transmit to each of the inverters the inverter setpoint determined by the supervision member, and a second communication channel making it possible to transmit a position information item to each of the inverters, each of the inverters comprising means for generating a power electrical signal as a function of the inverter setpoint and of the position information transmitted by the supervision member. Advantageously, the first and second communication channels consist of a single link linking the supervision member and the inverters, and transmitting both the inverter setpoints and the position information items.
