MOD-USB - Powerline USB Modem

OVERVIEW

Part of the DimOnOff® Powerline product line, the MOD-USB Powerline Modem is ideal for  enabling Monitoring & Control, Scheduling, Diagnostic and Automation, communicating directly through a USB Port, with a local computer that will be managing Scheduling functions and Data acquisition.

If an Ethernet connection is available on site, the local PC can be used as a Server that will be accessible through Ethernet to other remote PC equipped with the DimOnOff® Client software.

The MOD-USB Powerline Modem is a device designed to enable communication of Powerline data between VAC power lines (120 to 347) and a PC via USB. An analog front end performs the signal conditioning and couples the modulated signals with the power lines. The module is powered by a built-in power supply.

The MOD-USB Powerline Modem will communicate with the PC, enabling the DimOnOff® Software platform to monitor activity (Commands-Scenarios sent by other modules such as Keypads, Lux sensors, etc), as well as controlling various powerline modules on the site's powerline network via the DimOnOff® software Scheduling features, as they are now communicating on a same extended network.

FEATURES

  • Communicates on 120 to 347 VAC power lines, and should be used with Phase Coupler-Repeater and Voltage couplers when other voltages are to be used within a powerline communication network
  • LED indicators for Power, CPU, CFG and Tx/Rx
  • Very robust narrowband FSK modulation including advanced processing functions
  • Reliable powerline communication in high attenuation (0.5Ω min.) and noisy electrical environments
  • Includes protection against disturbances on the power line
