Embedded Power Line Modem ATL90115-1 and ATL90115-3
[attachment=57752]
INTRODUCTION
The ATL90115 series Embedded PLC Modem is a ready-to-go circuit module, which is capable of
transferring data over the power cable at the low voltage end of the power transformer of a
3-phase/ 4-wire distribution network. A pair of Embedded PLC Modems connected on the power
line can provide low speed bi-directional data communication at a baud rate of 300 bps. It is
built in a small form factor that can be easily integrated into and become part of the user's power
line data communication system.
The PLC modem is based on the Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum Technology, which ensures high noise immunity and reliable data communication.
The modules provide bi-directional half-duplex data communication over the mains of any voltage
up to 250v a. c., and for frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. . It does not require any protocol to function
and therefore is protocol independent. Data flow through PLC modem as if it is a channel and
therefore it is transparent to the Data Devices. As a result, with user’s proper addressing and
communication protocol, multiple units can be connected to the mains without affecting the
operation of one another. There is no hassle of building interface circuits. It has a built -in on
board AC coupling circuit, which allows direct and simple connection to the mains. Interface to
user’s data devices is a simple data -in and data-out serial link. Power to the PLC Modem circuit
module is a single +12v DC supply.
Applications of the Power Line Modem include status monitoring, control and data communication
of devices connected on the power line, such Home Automation, Lighting Control, HVAC control,
Low Speed Data Networks, Automatic Meter Reading, Signs and Information Display, Fire and
Security Alarm, ... and so on.
Features
Embedded ready-to-go Power Line Carrier Modem module with SMT components
Small form factor for easy of system integration
Bi-directional half-duplex data communication over the mains
Applicable to universal mains voltage and frequency up to 250v, 50 – 60 Hz
ATL90115-3 applicable to 3-phase 4-wire network of up to 460VAC phase to phase
Protocol independent, data transfer transparent to user’s data terminals
High noise immunity and reliable data communication
Simple serial interface to user’s data devices
Built-in on board AC coupling circuit with direct connection to mains
Built-in carrier generation and detection
Multiple units can be connected to the power line of the distribution transformer
Baud rate of 300 bps
Selectable TTL and RS232C level serial interface to user’s data devices
Built with industrial grade components for operation under harsh environment
Complies with EN50065-1: 2001
