Electronic system for transmitting digital signals according to internet protocols for home automation systems

Abstract

Electronic system (10) for transmitting digital signals according to Internet protocols for home automation systems comprising: a two-wire (80) home automation BUS (11) adapted to distribute electrical power supply and to transmit digital or analogue signals, the two-wire (80) home automation BUS (11) operating at very low safety voltage; power supply means (12) arranged to be connected to the home automation BUS (11) in order to supply direct voltage power; at least one control apparatus (13) configured for emitting and / or receiving low frequency digital control and / or information signals; at least one data transceiver apparatus (14) configured for emitting and / or receiving digital information signals that are high frequency modulated and encoded according to the Internet protocols and for receiving low frequency digital control signals; at least two corresponding interface devices (15) arranged to connect the at least one control apparatus (13) and the at least one data transceiver apparatus (14) to the home automation BUS (11), the interface devices (15) being power supplied by the power supply means (12) and being configured for transmitting and / or receiving low frequency digital control and / or information signals and, for the at least one data transceiver apparatus (14), also digital information signals that are high frequency modulated and encoded according to the Internet protocols, one or more of the interface devices (15) comprising at least one transceiver module (60) for receiving / transmitting low frequency digital control and / or information signals and a transceiver module (40) for receiving / transmitting high frequency Internet signals.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic system for transmitting digital signals according to the Internet protocol, particularly but not exclusively, for use in the field of home automation. Background technique [0002] Today, the increasing use of digital technology requires the use of communication channels with higher and higher bit rates. [0003] The Internet protocol stack known by the abbreviation TCP / IP is currently the standard on which the exchange of information between devices inside a housing unit is actually based. [0004] Communication based on the TCP / IP protocol takes place according to the IEEE802 standard, and in particular according to the IEEE802.3 standard for wired connections and according to the IEEE802.11 standard for wireless connections. [0005] In particular, in the first case, it is known to use network cables such as Ethernet cables in order to create a local network to which the aforementioned electronic devic...
