ETL600 R4
Universal Digital Power Line Carrier
2 | ETL600 R4
Power Line Carrier (PLC) systems have been used for de-
cades by electric power utilities to transfer vital information
for the operation and protection of the electric power grid.
Despite the widespread deployment of optical fibers in recent
years, PLC systems continued to be used as a cost-efficient
and reliable solution for mission-critical services, either as a
main communications medium where installation of optical
fibers is too expensive, or as a backup solution for the most
important services that are normally conveyed over broad-
band media.
In recent years, technology advances have brought new PLC
applications, in particular those that provide higher bandwidth
provisioning and integration into digital networks. Functional
enhancements have also been made, as well as improve-
ments in flexibility and ease of use. These new capabilities
together with PLCs economic and reliability advantages
have led to a revival of PLC systems worldwide.
Communications solution for reliable operation and enhanced
protection of the grid
ETL600 incorporates the latest advancements in PLC tech-
nology and has been designed to protect the customers
investments by ensuring a seamless transition from todays to
tomorrows PLC solutions with a smooth migration concept.
No matter whether your focus is analog or digital applications,
ETL600 with its universal and flexible system architecture
provides the solution to your communications needs.
With the ETL600, ABB continues its successful line of PLC
products, supporting all applications from legacy analog to
the most advanced digital solutions, based on a future-proof
hardware platform that will stand the test of time.
ETL600 release 4 (R4) preserves all of the proven functionality
of previous releases there are thousands of units in opera-
tion worldwide and offers a new range of features, making
ETL600 the perfect solution for demanding communications
infrastructure.
ETL600 R4 | 3
Analog and digital operation in the same platform,
software configurable (up to three traditional analog chan-
nels of 4 kHz and/or 1 digital channel, covering a maximum
bandwith of 32kHz)
Maximum transmission speed and bandwidth flexibility,
data rate of up to 320 kbps, nominal bandwidth from 2 to
32 kHz, carrier frequency range from 24 to 1000 kHz
Automatic transmission speed adaptation,
for maximum data throughput and link availability (five user-
defined steps, data rate depending on the prevailing line
condition)
Integrated adaptive multiplexer,
up to 10 channels for serial data and Ethernet/IP traffic, up
to 16 channels for compressed voice communications
One or two internal teleprotection units,
each with four independent commands (with adaptive sig-
nal evaluation to ensure the shortest possible transmission
times)
Integrated programmable modems,
for narrowband to wideband operation (with adaptive
equalizer and automatic jammer suppression, for optimum
long-term performance)
Up to four integrated LAN ports,
for equipment configuration and to forward Ethernet/IP
traffic over the PLC link (internal switch or IP router, VLAN
support, IP header compression)
Digital transit of compressed voice channels,
interconnection of up to five ETL600 terminals in a sub-
station, ie, channels can be forwarded in one out of four
possible directions (lower delay, unchanged speech quality)
