Abstract
The fixed frame comprises, on a side wall, a communication module. The communication module acts as interface between an external communication bus and indicating contacts whose state is representative of the connected or disconnected positions of a switchgear apparatus on the frame. The communication module is preferably fixed onto the external face of the wall, by the same fixing means as the indicating contacts. The wiring is thus reduced to the minimum when the apparatus is installed.
