Definitions

  • the invention relates to a communication system, in particular for indoor use, and to an adapter device for such a system.
  • a transmission of data using a handheld radio telephone is only of interest in special circumstances. Handling is still considered to be complicated. From a statistical point of view, most of the data is still transmitted via permanently installed cables. For example, computer cables are installed in an office building to connect the data processing devices.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a communication system for the indoor area, which allows inexpensive networking.
  • the solution to the problem is defined by the features of claim 1.
  • the communication system is designed in such a way that a point-to-point connection is established between two end devices, which has a short-range radio link between at least one of the end devices and an adapter device and a PLC via a power supply network between the adapter device and the second end device.
  • Range includes.
  • a short-range radio link is understood to mean a radio connection whose range does not significantly extend beyond the indoor area, i.e., for example, the size of a room, a floor or a building.
  • the system according to the invention is very flexible and inexpensive to install.
  • the adapter device can be connected to any socket in the power supply network, precisely where it is needed.
  • Components or components for short-range radio links can be produced today in large numbers and very inexpensively.
  • the point-to-point connection means that central control devices or connection controllers ("base station") can also be dispensed with. Multiple connections can be maintained side by side by staggering in time (which in many cases appears to the user as parallel communication). Last but not least, due to the deliberately short range, a natural separation of e.g. radio areas not in the same room can be reached.
  • the range of the radio link is preferably essentially limited to the coverage of a room in the building. It should be shorter than 20 meters, e.g. about 10 meters. In this sense, e.g. a so-called “Bluetooth” interface can be used. However, interfaces with a greater range are also conceivable, such as IEEE 802.1 1 ("wireless LAN”) or "Hiperlan”. These can be used to cover a large number of neighboring rooms. (“Bluetooth” and “Hiperlan” are known and standardized interfaces.)
  • the PLC line connects two different rooms. This means that the two end devices are usually located in different rooms of a building and are connected by a PLC system via the power supply lines.
  • the range is limited a radio link to a room, then a system according to the invention looks such that an adapter according to the invention is connected to the power supply network in each (to be developed) room of the building, so that the devices located in this room communicate in terms of communication technology with devices located elsewhere can.
  • the second terminal need not be connected to the PLC backbone in terms of radio technology. Wired electrical coupling can also be used.
  • the PLC system can e.g. also be open to the outdoor area, so that it can preferably be communicated with any device anywhere in the world via the external power supply network (or the outdoor PLC system implemented in this).
  • the connection between the indoor and the outdoor area can be created by a so-called bridge and the transition between the power supply network and any other network (e.g. a fiber optic WAN) by a master station located in the area of the transformer station.
  • the transition (gateway) from the indoor to the outdoor area can also be designed as a transition between two different transmission media (e.g. from PLC to telephone lines or to optical LAN).
  • the communication system according to the invention is particularly suitable for home automation.
  • kitchen appliances can be networked in a simple manner.
  • a microwave oven which is equipped with a Bluetooth interface, for example, can be connected to the PLC backbone via the adapter device and can be switched on and off, for example, by a control unit or a computer program.
  • the kitchen appliance can also be operated by radio.
  • a telephone device that has a data interface to the PLC system should be mentioned, for example.
  • the user can call at home with his handheld radio telephone and use a special code to have the telephone set turn on the oven (via PLC link and Bluetooth interface).
  • radio receivers In industrial companies, it would be conceivable to place radio receivers in the various buildings, which receive long-range radio signals in a frequency band provided for private data transmission and couple them into the power supply network. In the machine room, an adapter device plugged into a socket transmits the control commands to the machine control over the short-range radio link.
  • the principle of the invention can therefore be used very widely in automation or remote control. It is therefore not just about networking computers and the like, but also about providing a communication medium between the control device and the executing device.
  • a device as an adapter device for a communication system is designed to be as small and simple as possible. It is characterized by a transmitter / receiver for a short-range wireless link. The connection to the power supply network is made with a normal power plug.
  • the device is manufactured as inexpensively as possible and is optically inconspicuous (i.e. not aesthetically disturbing). In terms of investment, the device should be more like an extension cable for the user than another telephone station.
  • the adapter device should therefore be easy to buy if the user considers it useful or necessary. Early planning and time-consuming installation by a specialist (as is necessary when expanding a telephone network) is not necessary.
  • the adapter device has the shape of a compact housing with a molded power plug. It can be plugged directly into a wall socket of the power supply network and does not need to be "set up" anywhere.
  • the housing contains e.g. a Bluetooth interface circuit, a PLC interface circuit and an intermediary microcontroller.
  • the adapter device has at least one connection socket for a power plug of any device.
  • the plug of the adapter device and the connection socket correspond to the same standard.
  • the adapter device has a plurality of free connection sockets, it also has the frequently required function of a multiple connector. It is e.g. readily possible to integrate the adapter function according to the invention in a connector strip of a known type.
  • a connector strip can e.g. can be connected to the wall socket via a short cable and has a plurality of connection sockets arranged in a row in an elongated housing. Usually it lies on the floor where it does not interfere (e.g. behind a desk).
  • At least two lines designed for current conduction are provided between corresponding contacts of the power plug and the connection socket.
  • these lines have RF chokes which noticeably attenuate signals in the range above 1 MHz (e.g. by at least 10 dB).
  • the communication signals should therefore not be able to penetrate a connected device via the connection socket undamped.
  • the interference potential of the PLC system (which works e.g. in the range from 1 MHz to 30 MHz) should be minimized for the other devices connected to the network. (Conversely, interference from the third-party device can of course also be kept to a certain extent away from the power supply network and thus from the PLC system.) It goes without saying that the chokes must be adjusted accordingly if the communication is below 1 MHz to be held.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de communication conçu de manière à permettre l'établissement d'une liaison point à point entre deux terminaux (22,21), qui comprend un faisceau hertzien de faible portée entre au moins un des terminaux (22) et un appareil adaptateur (6), et un faisceau PLC acheminé par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau de distribution électrique entre l'appareil adaptateur (6) et le second terminal (21). Le faisceau hertzien de faible portée est à prendre dans son extension de liaison radio dont la portée ne dépasse pas sensiblement la zone intérieure, c.à-d. qui ne va pas par ex. au-delà de la taille d'une pièce ou d'un étage de bâtiment. Ledit système est très souple et avantageux à installer. L'appareil adaptateur peut être raccordé à n'importe quelle prise de courant du réseau de distribution électrique (2), en d'autres termes, là où il est requis. Il est possible de produire aujourd'hui des accessoires et des composants pour faisceaux hertziens de faible portée, en grande quantité et à des coûts très avantageux. La liaison point à point permet de ne plus avoir recours à des appareils de commande ou à des contrôleurs de communication centraux.
