Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour la transmission sans fil de signaux et/ou d'énergie du côté primaire (13) d'un transformateur (1) au côté secondaire (7) de ce transformateur (1). Il est proposé, selon l'invention, de garantir l'aptitude au fonctionnement du module situé côté secondaire même si l'injection du signal ou de l'énergie est perturbée côté primaire. A cet effet, le dispositif dans lequel l'injection du signal ou de l'énergie côté primaire se fait par l'intermédiaire d'au moins deux lignes (41, 43; 51, 53) est pourvu d'au moins une autre ligne (42; 52) pour l'injection du signal ou de l'énergie. En outre, des moyens de commutation (40; 50) permettent la connexion sélective de toutes les lignes (41, 42, 43, 51, 52, 53) servant à l'injection du signal ou de l'énergie avec le transformateur (1). Ces moyens de commutation (40; 50) peuvent être déclenchés par des moyens diagnostiques (9) servant au contrôle de l'aptitude au fonctionnement des modules (5) placés côté secondaire. Lorsque ces moyens diagnostic déterminent qu'une connexion de ligne est perturbée, une commutation automatique sur au moins deux lignes non perturbées se fait automatiquement.
