GC8800

GridComm intelligent power line communication

Description
GridComm's Power Line Communication (PLC) module is a complete hardware and software networking solution that can be used when using a DC 15V to 18V 300mA power supply and interfacing with the motherboard's external coupling circuit. As a complete system-level power line communication modem, in automatic routing mode, the software automatically adapts to different conditions of the power line by configuring the optimal data routing path, carrier frequency, power and redundancy values. The power line communication module uses the industry-leading GridComm GC2200. OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) power line communication transceiver.



The GC8800 module supports remotely controllable PWM and digital outputs, as well as ADC data and digital inputs that are read by the remote master. These control and monitoring packets are transmitted via the master node's UART/RS-485/RS-232 using the gridComm network management commands. For more information on PWM, digital I/O and ADC, please contact gridComm.

The PLC module is a slave node for small and compact chassis, especially for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Automated Meter Reading (AMR), Intelligent Lighting Control, Industrial/Home Automation Designed for applications such as alternative energy, the Internet of Things, and smart lighting.
