Powerline Ethernet Modem
OVERVIEW / DOO-MOD-ETH
Part of the DimOnOff® Powerline product line, the DOO-MOD-ETH Powerline-Ethernet Modem is ideal for enabling Remote Monitoring & Control, Scheduling, Diagnostic and Automation of remote sites, communicating with a central host computer through an Ethernet network.
No PC is necessary at the remote site; only an Ethernet connection at both remote and central host site, and a Server-PC at the central host site.
The DOO-MOD-ETH Powerline Modem is a device designed to enable communication of Powerline data between 120 to 347VAC power lines and an Ethernet network. An analog front end performs the signal conditioning and couples the modulated signals with the power lines. The modem is powered by a built-in power supply (120V).
The DOO-MOD-ETH Powerline Modem, properly configured with an IP address, will communicate with its host PC as a virtual COM Port (Hostname IP + TCP Port), enabling the DimOnOff® Software platform to monitor activity on remote-site powerline, as well as controlling various powerline modules on the remote-site powerline network, as they are now communicating on a same extended network.
FEATURES
- Reliable powerline communication in high attenuation (0.5Ω min.) and noisy electrical environments
- Communicates on 120VAC 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
- Ethernet Network compatible
- LED indicators for Power, CPU, CFG and Tx/Rx
- Includes protection against disturbances on the power line
- FCC part 15 and Industry Canada ICES-006 compliant
- UL Pending
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
- Remote automatic meter reading
- Industrial control
- Lighting Control & Scheduling
- Remote diagnostic
- Building automation
- Inter-device peer-to-peer networking
OPTIONAL
- Wi-Fi antenna
