Compatible interface for domestic industrial and professional devices control
First Claim
1. Interface compatible with an installation for controlling domestic, industrial or professional appliances, the installation comprising either a two-wire bus having a first pair of wires for a supply current, information signals being transmitted on this pair of wires, or a four-wire bus having a first pair of wires for a supply current and a second pair of wires for information signals being transmitted, said interface comprising:
- a circuit for recognizing whether information signals are transmitted on said first pair of wires of said two wire bus, or on said second pair of wires, of said four wire bus, and for transmitting a reception identification signals to a domestic appliance;
a current regulation circuit connected to said first pair of wires in order to provide a stabilized current supply to the appliance even if the information signals are transmitted on said first pair of wires;
and a control circuit connected to said first pair of wires in order to modulate the current on said first pair of wires in accordance with a signal which is transmitted to it by the appliance.

Abstract
A compatible interface for an installation to control household machines that comprises an omnibus line having at least two first line wires used for a supply current, information signals being transmitted on the two first wires and/or on two second line wires, wherein said interface comprises: a circuit to recognize whether information signals are sent on the two first wires or on the two second wires and to transmit a reception identification signal to a household machine; and a current regulation circuit connected to the two first wires to give a stabilized current supply even if information signals are transmitted on the two second wires. Applications include control of household (home automation), industrial, or professional installations.

11. Interface for a system for controlling domestic, industrial or professional appliances, said interface comprising:
-
a first connector for receiving a first pair of wires; a second connector for receiving a second pair of wires; a circuit for recognizing whether information signals are transmitted through said first connector or through said second connector and for transmitting a reception identification signal to the appliance; a current regulation circuit connected to said first connector in order to provide a stabilized current supply to the appliance even if said information signals are transmitted through said first connector; and a control circuit connected to said first connector in order to modulate the current through said first connector in accordance with a signal which is transmitted to it by the appliance; wherein said interface may be connected either to a two-wire bus via said first connector or to a four-wire bus via both said first and said second connectors without needing external adjustments. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
