- the central unit 2 advantageously made by a server, comprises processing means 5 for generating at least one instruction list to the device 3 and for processing in return the data transmitted by said device 3.
- the instruction list can depend on the locking module 4 or possibly the device 3.
- the processing means can also transmit several lists to multiple devices. These instruction lists can be frozen or dynamic.
- the processing means 5 can thus propose lists with dynamic stages according to the return of the steps validated or not by the validation means.
- processing means 5 may be in an embodiment variant at least partially offset on the peripheral device or devices 3. In this way it is particularly possible to perform at least part of the analysis of the data locally and to limit the transfer of data between each peripheral 3 and the central unit 2.
- processing means 5 also include a database that makes it possible in particular to store the instruction lists, the identification codes of the peripherals 3 and the modules 4 and the data transmitted by the peripherals 3 and possibly by the modules 4.
- the database including the lists of instructions, can be located at each device allowing, at least temporarily a run off connection with the central unit 2.
- the database or part of the base may also be duplicated, that is to say both present in the central unit 2 and in the peripherals 3.
- the central unit 2 further comprises control means 6 of the locking module 4, these control means 6 make it possible to lock / unlock the locking module 4 remotely and thus to authorize or not the operation of the equipment 7 to which he is connected.
- the central unit 2 is connected to a single peripheral device 3, the latter, advantageously made with a tablet, a smartphone, comprising display means 8.
- the device 3 further comprises means 9 for validating the steps of the list. Depending on the instructions, the validation means 9 used may be different.
- the validation means 9 may consist of tactile means for checking boxes of a questionnaire, the latter constituting the list of instructions.
- the validation means 9 comprise at least one input for importing user data into the device 3 in the form of audio, video, text and / or sensor data.
- the device 3 comprises audio inputs, video, a keyboard and means for reading signals transmitted by the sensors or a camera, means of shooting or document scanning.
- the data of the sensors can be linked to the user and biometric type, with for example fingerprint sensors, sensors for voice recognition.
- the data of the sensors may also be linked to the physical type related to the sensors of the equipment 7 to be monitored with, for example, sensors or probes for temperature, pressure or any type of sensor making it possible to measure the state of the equipment. .
- the device 3 further comprises first communication means 1 1 with the central unit 2. It may be classically radiofrequency communication means and in particular by cellular network, internet or communication type Bluetooth.
- the authorization device as shown schematically in FIG. 1, furthermore comprises at least one locking module 4.
- This locking module 4 is able to connect to a device 7.
- the module 4 is connected to the supply of the equipment 7, this being in other embodiments, the module 4 may not be connected to the power supply, but to the output line of the control unit of the equipment 7.
- the locking module 4 further comprises second communication means 12 with the central unit 2.
- the second communication means 12 may consist of radiofrequency communication means and in particular by cellular network, internet or Bluetooth communication.
- the locking module 4 comprises locking / unlocking means 13 for operating the equipment 7.
- these locking / unlocking means 13 comprise a particularly bi-stable relay or an actuator whose first state corresponds to the locking of the equipment and a second state corresponds to the unlocking.
- the locking module 4 comprises auxiliary unlocking means 14 that can be activated from said locking module 4.
- auxiliary unlocking means 14 that can be activated from said locking module 4.
- the locking module 4 comprises delaying means for re-locking an unlocked equipment 7.
- the locking module 4 comprises a memory for storing the instruction list linked to said module 4 and third communication means of the instruction list to a device.
- the second communication means 12 make it possible to transmit the status of the module 4 to the central unit 2, namely in the locked or unlocked position.
- FIG. 2 the operation of the authorization device 1 of the present invention is shown in diagrammatic form.
- This authorization device 1 is generically described for a control system 15 comprising an authorization device 1 with a central unit 2, a peripheral device 3 and a locking module 4.
- FIG. 2 the operation of the authorization device 1 for the control of an access door to a danger zone, namely a part receiving a robot, is represented in diagrammatic form.
- the implementation of the system 15 consists, once the locking module 4 wired or connected to the access door to implement the database processing means with the specific information to the door to control.
- the establishment of the system 15 further comprises pairing the locking module 4, the device 3 and the central unit 2 together to allow their identification and communication.
- control system 15 The operation of the control system 15 is then controlled by the operator.
- the latter when he wants to open the access door must unlock the module 4, for this purpose, it operates the device 3 and selects from the modules 4 manageable by the device 3 the one that is connected to the door.
- the operator enters the required information by following the list of instructions generated by the processing means 5. If the latter correspond with the list of instructions, the processing means 5 validate the request and the control means 6 unlock the module locking 4, the operator can then open the door.
- the means of delaying the module 4 once the elapsed time delay reposition the module 4 in the locked position of the door.
- FIG. 3 an exemplary embodiment of an architecture of a control system 15 is shown.
- This system 15 shows an exemplary embodiment of the invention for complex applications and for example for the control of equipment of a production line in factories.
- a central unit 2 is in relation with three peripherals 3a, 3b and 3c.
- peripherals 3a, 3b and 3c allow via the central unit 2 to control, for the device 3a, the locking module 4a, for the device 3b, the locking modules 4a and 4b, and for the device 3c , the locking module 3c.
- the system 15 may have other configurations, adaptable to the equipment to be controlled.
- a central unit 2 can be related to any number of peripherals, these peripherals 3 being able to control via the central unit 2 also any number of locking modules 4.
- Each peripheral 3 can be linked to all or some of the modules 4.
- control system 15 and the authorization device 1 described thus allow an operator to easily follow the operating mode of the equipment to be controlled, to be easily installed on any type of equipment 7.
- the structure of the system 15 and associated authorization device 1 can quickly adapt, if necessary, the system 15 by adding or removing locking modules 4 on equipment 7 of the installation, by adding or removing devices 3 or links between devices 3 and 4 locking modules or by modifying the instruction lists of the modules without having to modify the operation of the equipment 7.
