Method for diagnosing an equipment to be controlled, diagnostic system, related intermediate server and communication module
First Claim
1. A method of diagnosing an equipment (2) to be inspected, in which a communications module (1) associated with the equipment (2) to be inspected reads operating data relating to the equipment (2) to be inspected and forwards the data to a remote server (3, 5a, 5b, . . . , 5n), and the remote server (3, 5a, 5b, . . . , 5n) performs a diagnosis on the basis of the operating data it receives, the method being characterized by the fact that:
- an intermediate server (3) determines which from amongst a plurality of specialized assistance servers (5a, 5b, . . . , 5n) is the server that is appropriate for the equipment (2), and puts the communications module (1) into communication with the specialized assistance server (5a, 5b, . . . , 5n) that is adapted to the equipment (2); and
