History

Projects Trialog is an instrumental player in a number of projects focused on Home Networking Metering Sockets Tele Diagnostic FT Télédomotis ETHOS : Electrical Metering Load Management GAP : Gas Appliances CHABLIS : Low-cost intelligent sockets

Metering Sockets Analysing Power Usage Metering Sockets : Detect Starting time and the consumption per 15 mn A BOX records information Trialog EHS Technology PC monitors statistics

Freezer / Fridge consumption Trialog EHS Technology

FT Télédomotis : Telco Gateway CENELEC ! Trialog EHS Technology

ETHOS: European Utilities In UK, France, Italy, and Denmark electricity meters will supply the same type of Information Tariff Economy-level Index, etc. Heaters, Hot Water, Domestic Appliances can use this information

GAP: Gas Utilities Controller Development of Gas Enabler Heating Zone 1 Infrastructure to promote Gas usage. Radiator Valve Gas based heating is widely used in Europe More confort, More security, Less comsumption Boiler Heating Zone 2 Thermostat Gas Meter Interface Gas Meter EHS Powerline Network

Chablis: Low-Cost Intelligent Sockets Addresses a large market Large markets mean lower costs Up to 40% cost reduction Mono-Directional Bi-Directional

Trialog EHS Road Map 1992 : Trialog in EHS Components ESPRIT project 1994 : Implementation of EHS < 10 KB First EHS software on one microprocessor 1995 : Decision to deliver the software as a library Development of a new library : EHSLite Tests Environment, Certification 1996 : Financial Investment and Products Complexity : several Media, Micro, Standardisation, Convergence with EIB and BBus.

Trialog Libraries Approach Library tested on thousands of test cases • ensures interoperability • eases development • short time to market • ensures compatibility PC A library includes the FULL EHS Protocol Only the necessary part of the protocol is included in a node

The Library Approach Avantages To address : • Technology dimensions • Evolution of specification • Interoperability and Conformance • Reliability / Performance / Optimisation Which lamp to switch on ? It was simpler before !. . Trialog provides to Manufacturers EHS Technology : Libraries, Tools, Support, Training
