Light and sound signalling device

A method for monitoring a communication between a transmitting equipment item and a receiving equipment item, said transmitting equipment item transmitting control frames (TC_i) to the receiving equipment item. The method makes it possible to take account of the fact that the control frames (TC_i) are not necessarily transmitted at fixed frequency and to adapt the transmission of the diagnostic frames (TDx_i) to the frequency of transmission of the control frames. Upon a significant variation of this transmission frequency, if no diagnostic frame has been transmitted between the two control frames, the instant of transmission of the next diagnostic frame will take account of this aspect. The method of the invention makes it possible to optimize the frequency of transmission of the diagnostic frames while guaranteeing a high reliability concerning the state of the communication, in order to avoid saturating the communication link and causing an overconsumption of electrical energy, and to adapt in real time the transmission of the diagnostic frames to the frequency of transmission of the control frames.
