    The document describes two embedded power line carrier modem modules, the ATL90115-1 and ATL90115-3. The modules provide bi-directional half-duplex data communication over mains power lines up to 250VAC at 300bps. They integrate all components needed for power line communication and require only a 12V DC power supply and serial data connection. Multiple modules can communicate on the same power line network transparently.

    Embedded PLC Modem ATL90115-1 and ATL90115-3


    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 users 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 users 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.

    Notes on Testing Methods 1. Connect PLC modem with the user device as in the application diagram 2. Test the modem with your application software or you may download a test program from the web page: http://www.archnetco.com/english/product/ATL90.htm 3. Check that the baud rate of the user devices should be consistent with that of the PLC modem 4. Data packets should not be larger than 256 byte, or use multiple packets

    An example of data transfer testing


    The PLC modem is a physical layer hardware communication device. It is up to the data device (e.g. your PC) to identify the data. If you are connecting multiple PLC modems on the power line, you should include data device ID in your data packets for the data device to decide if the message is for it or not, i.e. you need communication protocol for data transmission, such as device ID, acknowledgement and time out etc. Note that the power line is used as a bi-directional half-duplex medium, you should allow the data to settle before transmitting and do not connect TXD and RXD of your RS232 port to perform a loop -back test. The schematic below is an example of connecting a ATL90115-1 for testing of data transfer only. communication, two PLC modems should be connected t o two data devices. data level. remember to set the COM port, baud rate and data format in the software.
