Junho de 2011Consumer-band BPSK 7.2kbps PLM PICtailÔ Plus Daughter Board development kit
Power Line Communication (PLC) is a cost effective method for enabling easy to install, easy to use energy use monitoring systems in the home/office environment. Inexpensive, programmable Power Line Modems (PLMs) provide the necessary signal transmit/receive interface between the appliance and the network.
The just-released Consumer-band BPSK 7.2kbps PLM PICtail
Plus Daughter Board development kit gives designers everything needed to develop a
full-feature power line modem for consumer frequency designs.
Based on the scalable dsPIC33F family, this low-cost modem reference design delivers a solution that is:
- Robust –the BPSK modulation scheme is particularly suited to the noisy environment of home wiring systems.
- Flexible – data rates are software controllable
- Comprehensive - models all of the typical communication architectures
- Complete – royalty-free schematics, demo code and software in source-code format, and is supported by the free MPLAB® IDE.
