Objective
The project is aimed at the development of a chipset that will consist of three devices:
The PLC Modem
This modem chip formats data sent or received via the power line. The modulation type is Spread-Frequency Shift Key in the 50 kHz to 100 kHz frequency band, with a baud rate of 1200 baud. The protocol will be handled via an external microprocessor. Frame synchronisation, deframing and error correction will be done internally by embedded logic. It will comply with the Cenelec standards EN 500651.
The Metering Device Interface
Will provide the electrical interface with the electricity, gas, water and heat meters within the cost constraints. It has to fulfil the major standards IEC 1107, IEC 1142 and DIN 43.864 or 50 interface. The circuit should also contain the necessary driver, signal conditioning circuitry and protection against disturbances.
The Driver Circuit
Will provide the high driving current (250 mA) and signal conditioning of the output and input signals such as amplitude limiting and AGC for the input signals.
The chipset developed in the OSIM chipset project will provide a cost effective way of implementing communication between the electricity utilities and their customers. This project will run in close cooperation with the OSIM AHSII project that treats the development of equipment for the communication gateway. The project includes the development of three integrated circuits namely the Power Line Carrier Modem, the line driver and a generalised interface to a metering device.
