Abstract

The device has a programmable controller providing a man-machine interface for an operator via a transmission control protocol (TCP)/Internet protocol (IP) network, where the device is connected to the network via Ethernet. An electronic adapter is located between the controller and power supply control modules. The control modules are formed of low-power electromechanical relays and controlled by the controller. The controller is formed of a microprocessor, ROM and digital outputs. The controller modifies logical states of the outputs after providing a response to HTTP requests.

Description

- 1 - - 1 -

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant d'interrompre à distance plusieurs ordinateurs via un réseau informatique. Les solutions d'interruption d'ordinateur à distance sont généralement basées sur des relais 230V relativement coûteux et non remplaçables sans interrompre toutes les alimentations des ordinateurs (sécurité liée à la manipulation de circuits électriques en 230V) ou bien ces solutions sont basées sur des logiciels mais dans ce cas, elles ne permettent pas d'interrompre l'alimentation si l'ordinateur est défaillant. The present invention relates to a device for remotely interrupting multiple computers via a computer network. Remote computer interrupt solutions are generally based on relatively expensive and non-replaceable 230V relays without interrupting all computer power supplies (security related to the manipulation of 230V electrical circuits) or these solutions are based on software but in this case, they do not allow to interrupt the power supply if the computer is faulty.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il s'affranchit en effet de l'utilisation du courant fort et permet l'interruption complète de l'ordinateur en intervenant sur l'une des connexions entre l'alimentation interne (PS_ON suivant la norme ATX) et l'ordinateur. L'utilisation du courant faible et la modularité du dispositif permet la maintenance sans nécessité l'arrêt de tous les ordinateurs. Le dispositif est connecté en Ethernet à un réseau informatique TCP/IP permettant à un utilisateur de commander l'interruption d'un des ordinateurs à distance. The device according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage. It effectively avoids the use of strong current and allows the complete interruption of the computer by intervening on one of the connections between the internal power supply (PS_ON according to the ATX standard) and the computer. The use of low current and the modularity of the device allows maintenance without the need of stopping all computers. The device is connected in Ethernet to a TCP / IP computer network enabling a user to control the interruption of one of the remote computers.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation : - l'utilisateur peut utiliser d'autres protocoles de communication réseau pour commander l'interruption (telnet, snmp, etc.) - l'accès à l'interface de gestion peut être sécurisé par un identifiant et un mot de passe et/ou limité par adresse réseau. - le module assurant l'isolation de la connexion PS_ON de l'alimentation peut être soit intégré dans le boitier principal, soit déporté à proximité ou dans l'ordinateur. - si l'ensemble des masses des alimentations des ordinateurs sont communes à la masse du dispositif, il est possible d'utiliser de l'électronique logique pour commander l'interruption : pour éteindre l'alimentation, on applique la tension +5V à PS_ON et pour allumer, on met PS_ON à la masse (GND). According to particular embodiments: - the user can use other network communication protocols to control the interruption (telnet, snmp, etc.) - access to the management interface can be secured by an identifier and a password and / or limited by network address. - The module ensuring the isolation of the PS_ON connection of the power supply can be either integrated in the main box, or remote in the vicinity or in the computer. - if all the masses of the power supplies of the computers are common to the mass of the device, it is possible to use logic electronics to control the interruption: to turn off the power supply, the voltage + 5V is applied to PS_ON and to turn on, we put PS_ON to ground (GND).

Le dispositif se décompose en 3 éléments distincts : des modules de commande des alimentations des ordinateurs (pouvant être déportés), un contrôleur connecté au réseau assurant l'interface homme-machine, un adaptateur électronique entre les modules de commandes et les sorties du contrôleur. Les modules de commande des alimentations sont constitués de relais électromécaniques à courant faible (fermés au repos) qui viennent ouvrir le circuit entre PS_ON de l'alimentation ATX et la carte mère. L'adaptateur est composé de circuits de commande des relais (type transistor/résistance) et d'un socle pour enficher le contrôleur. Le contrôleur est un composant prêt à l'emploi embarquant un contrôleur réseau Ethernet, un microprocesseur, une mémoire morte contenant le programme et un nombre suffisant de sorties numériques pour commander les transistors (qui eux-mêmes commandent les relais). Le - 2 - The device is broken down into 3 distinct elements: control modules of the computer power supplies (which can be deported), a controller connected to the network providing the human-machine interface, an electronic adapter between the control modules and the outputs of the controller. The power supply control modules consist of electromechanical relays with low current (closed at rest) which open the circuit between PS_ON of the ATX power supply and the motherboard. The adapter consists of relay control circuits (transistor / resistance type) and a base for plugging the controller. The controller is a ready-to-use component carrying an Ethernet network controller, a microprocessor, a ROM containing the program and a sufficient number of digital outputs to control the transistors (which themselves control the relays). The 2 -

contrôleur est programmé pour répondre à des requêtes HTTP (interface WEB) et modifier en conséquence les états logiques de ses différentes sorties.5 controller is programmed to respond to HTTP requests (WEB interface) and modify accordingly the logical states of its different outputs.
