LCM100: Power Line Modem for communication over existing power lines (中文网页建构中)

LCM100 AC/DC Power Line Modem in metal enclosure transmits data over existing power lines.

Transmits data over power lines Eliminates costly cable installation Portable, convenient and versatile Easy installation Exceptional range of up to 5,000 feet (1.52 km)

The LCM100 Power Line Carrier Modem sends and receives digital data over power lines in a facility. It permits full-duplex asynchronous data transmission over 120V or 240V power lines at data rates from 0 to 9600 baud.

The power line modem eliminates costly cable installations and, without the need for other modems or special equipment, achieves efficient data rates with significant savings.

Versatile. The LCM is portable and easy to install. It lets you take a PC, PLC or terminal throughout the office or plant and provides instant access to other equipment by simply plugging it into any wall outlet or line connection. For example:

• Terminal to computer
• Computer to plotter
• Phone modem to computer
  

Configuration. The LCM100 supports three-wire RS232C (other RS232 control signals are simulated under jumper control) communications. Two distinct units make up a pair for a complete communications link— one is attached to the Data Communication Equipment (computer and the other to the Data Terminal Equipment (CRT, printer or other peripheral). Each unit is plugged into an AC receptacle near the communications equipment and the associated digital data cable plugged into the LCM100 unit.

Range. The LCM100 provides a communication range of up to 5,000 feet (1.52 km). This range is measured through the building’s electrical wiring.

Applications. Power line modem applications include automated materials handling equipment, stacker cranes, rotating casting tables, electronic sign control, conveyor belt monitoring and general industrial data communications.
