PLC NETWORK  DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS  –A.K.A PLC CLEANER

Since 2001, our technical partner has been dealing with both, the design of PLC communication modems, and their subsequent implementation. Due to this, these products incorporate procedures that provide information on the quality of the received signal, the state of the communication path, and other diagnostic variables such as phase monitoring (recognizing whether it is the phase to which the opposite modem is transmitting or whether it is signal received by crosstalk in the cable line).

As part of the PLC Cleaner solution, these modems are used for communication on low-voltage distribution systems, they are able to detect even the “bottlenecks” of the communication channel and, subsequently, recommend how to remove them. The big advantage of this solution is that it does not matter what standard (G3-PLC, PRIME, OSGP, METERS AND MORE, IDIS…) is deployed in a given location and there is no need to manipulate already installed electricity meters.

HARDWARE
The MT49S modem contains 4 parts:

• Own PLC modem running on the G3-PLC standard
• Sniffer, whose implementation makes it possible to read at least the unencrypted headers of all packets that are intercepted
• Spectrum analyzer, which enables long-term monitoring of both, noise and interference in the vicinity of the modem, and PLC traffic (its physical level)
• Packet generator for monitoring network load at the HW level
