La présente invention concerne un dispositif de programmation d'un automate, en particulier un automate conçu pour The present invention relates to a programming device for a PLC, in particular a PLC designed for
dialoguer avec un terminal du type MINITEL (marque déposce). interact with a MINITEL type terminal (registered trademark).
Il s'agit en l' occurrence d' automates relativement s simples, se comportant essentiellement comme des horloges et qui permettent de réaliser des mises en services ou arrêts automatiques d' installations électriques, à une heure et une date donnces, ou bien en suivant le ryChme des saisons. De tels automates sont par exemple utilisés pour commander des fonctions telles que le chauffage de bâtiments publics, l' allumage des réverbères dans l' éclairage public, ou encore These are relatively simple automata, behaving essentially like clocks and which allow automatic commissioning or shutdown of electrical installations, at a given time and date, or by following the rhythm of the seasons. Such automata are for example used to control functions such as the heating of public buildings, the lighting of street lights in public lighting, or else

A cet effet, il faut bien entendu entrer dans l' automate un certain nombre de paramètres spécifiques à l' application envisagée et, pour ce faire, on a généralement recours à un système plus ou moins complexe d'afficheurs et For this purpose, it is of course necessary to enter into the automaton a certain number of parameters specific to the envisaged application and, to do this, we generally have recourse to a more or less complex system of displays and

Toutefois, on connaît également des automates qui ne comportent aucune interface de programmation, ce qui permet de minimiser le coût de l'automate et présente en outre l'avantage d'empêcher toutes modifications du programme déjà enregistré par une personne non autorisée. On utilise alors pour la programmation un terminal amovible unique qui peut par exemple être constitué par un ordinateur portable de 2s type PC. Il s'agit là cependant d'une solution relativement coûteuse, le PC étant très largement surdimensionné par However, machines are also known which do not have any programming interface, which makes it possible to minimize the cost of the machine and also has the advantage of preventing any modifications to the program already recorded by an unauthorized person. A single removable terminal is then used for programming, which can for example be constituted by a 2s type PC laptop. This is however a relatively expensive solution, the PC being very oversized by
rapport au besoin.report as needed.
C'est pourquoi on a surtout utilisé jusqu'à maintenant, comme terminal de programmation, le MINITEL qui a l'avantage d'offrir un écran et un clavier à un coût de revient négligeable. Il existe donc à l'heure actuelle un parc important d' automates qui ont été programmés à l' aide du MINITEL. Cependant, le MINITEL n'est que difficilement This is why we have mainly used until now, as a programming terminal, the MINITEL which has the advantage of offering a screen and a keyboard at a negligible cost price. There is therefore currently a large fleet of automata which have been programmed using MINITEL. However, MINITEL is only difficult

partir du programme type enregistré dans un automate de référence. A cet effet, le boîtier d' interface comporte des moyens pour extraire les données utiles présentes dans les pages MINITEL enregistrés dans l' automate, cette extraction se faisant grâce à une reconnaissance de caractères connus à l'avance. Ainsi par exemple, pour extraire les données relatives à une heure d'allumage, on recherchera dans une zone de la page MINITEL un ensemble de cinq caractères avec un h au . from the standard program saved in a reference PLC. To this end, the interface box includes means for extracting the useful data present in the MINITEL pages recorded in the automaton, this extraction being carried out by means of recognition of characters known in advance. For example, to extract the data relating to an ignition time, we will search in an area of the MINITEL page for a set of five characters with an h at.

De préférence, plusieurs programmes type sont stockés Preferably, several standard programs are stored
dans la mémoire de l' assistant personnel. in the memory of the personal assistant.
L' assistant personnel possède en effet une mémoire permettant d'enregistrer de nombreux programmes, et en particulier tous les paramètres de fonctionnement d'un parc complet, tout en conservant ses autres fonctions classiques, telles que agenda électronique, répertoire téléphonique, calculatrice, etc Une forme d'exécution de l' invention est décrite ci après à titre d'exemple, en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel: - la figure 1 est un dessin simplifié d'un dispositif de programmation conforme à l' invention; et 2s - la figure 2 est un schéma synoptique du boîtier The personal assistant indeed has a memory making it possible to record many programs, and in particular all the operating parameters of a complete fleet, while retaining its other conventional functions, such as electronic agenda, telephone directory, calculator, etc. An embodiment of the invention is described below by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: - Figure 1 is a simplified drawing of a programming device according to the invention; and 2s - Figure 2 is a block diagram of the housing

Le dispositif de programmation représenté sur la figure 1 comprend tout d'abord un terminal de poche du commerce extrêmement convivial, alimenté par piles, du type assistant personnel numérique PDA, comme par exemple celui connu sous le nom de PALM PILOT (Marque déposée). I1 importe peu que ce terminal soit dépourvu d'un véritable clavier, ce qui est The programming device shown in FIG. 1 first of all comprises an extremely user-friendly pocket-sized commercial terminal, powered by batteries, of the PDA digital personal assistant type, such as that known under the name of PALM PILOT (registered trademark). It does not matter that this terminal does not have a real keyboard, which is
d'ailleurs le cas du terminal cité ici à titre d'exemple. moreover the case of the terminal cited here by way of example.

Conformément à l' invention, le dispositif de programmation comprend également un boîtier d' interface 2 pour relié l' assistant personnel PDA à un automate tel que 2, destiné par exemple à commander l'allumage d'un ou plusieurs réverbères dans l'éclairage public. Pour des raisons déjà exposées plus haut, cet automate 2 est en pratique concu pour dialoguer avec un terminal du type According to the invention, the programming device also comprises an interface box 2 for connecting the PDA personal assistant to a PLC such as 2, intended for example to control the lighting of one or more lampposts in the lighting public. For reasons already explained above, this automaton 2 is in practice designed to communicate with a terminal of the type
MINITEL.Minitel.
Le boîtier d' interface 1 a donc essentiellement pour but de transformer les données issues de l' assistant personnel PDA en données MINITEL assimilables par l' automate 2, et ceci réciproquement. I1 est ainsi possible de programmer l' automate directement à partir de l' assistant personnel PDA au moyen d'un logiciel de programmation concu à cet effet et chargé dans celui-ci. On peut également enregistrer dans la mémoire de cet assistant personnel plusieurs programmes types et en particulier tous les paramètres de fonctionnement d'un parc complet, tout en continuant à bénéficier des fonctions classiques d'un tel assistant personnel, comme par exemple les fonctions d' agenda électronique, de répertoire télophonique, de calculatrice, etc Par ailleurs, et conformément à l' invention, le boîtier d' interface 1 peut être utilisé seul, c'est à dire indépendamment de l' assistant personnel PDA, pour extraire les données de type MINITEL enregistrée dans un automate 2 et les stocker dans une mémoire af in de l es réimpl anter sur un autre automate, permettant ainsi de cloner commodément The interface unit 1 therefore essentially aims to transform the data from the PDA personal assistant into MINITEL data which can be assimilated by the controller 2, and vice versa. It is thus possible to program the PLC directly from the PDA personal assistant by means of programming software designed for this purpose and loaded into it. One can also save in the memory of this personal assistant several standard programs and in particular all the operating parameters of a complete fleet, while continuing to benefit from the conventional functions of such a personal assistant, such as for example the functions of electronic agenda, telephone directory, calculator, etc. Furthermore, and in accordance with the invention, the interface box 1 can be used alone, that is to say independently of the PDA personal assistant, to extract data from type MINITEL recorded in a PLC 2 and store them in a memory in order to reimpl ante them on another PLC, thus making it possible to clone conveniently
l' ensemble d'un parc à partir d'un automate de référence. an entire fleet from a reference automaton.
A cet effet, et ainsi quon peut le voir sur la figure 2, le boîtier d' interface 1 est constitué par un petit coffret portable renfermant, outre une alimentation à piles 3, une première unité de communication bidirectionnelle For this purpose, and as can be seen in FIG. 2, the interface box 1 is constituted by a small portable box containing, in addition to a battery supply 3, a first bidirectional communication unit

It is also necessary to save in memory 7 a definite program to relocate it to another auLomaL. To this end, the box is provided with two EP1 and BP2 pushbuttons, each associated with a light

Si malgré cette triple analyse, le message est s incohérent, on procède alors à une deuxième lecture, immédiatement pour ne pas perdre de temps à retrouver les caractères. Au bout de deux lectures, l'algorithme considère que les données ne sont pas présentes et on continue la middle. Once these characters have been identified, two other analyzes will be carried out based on the plausibility of the message and its consistency. If despite this triple analysis, the message is inconsistent, we then proceed to a second reading, immediately so as not to waste time finding the characters. After two readings, the algorithm considers that the data is not present and we continue the

I1 va de soi par ailleurs que dans le cas de nouvelles installations, les automates peuvent être programmés I1 also goes without saying that in the case of new installations, the PLCs can be programmed
