The AMR Tech PL2 powerline modem is a highly integrated spread
spectrum communication transceiver and channel access interface for implementing
low-cost networking products. The PL2 provides the Data Link Layer (DLL) control
logic for channel access using unacknowledged services, a Spread Spectrum Carrier
(SSC) transceiver, signal conditioning circuitry, and an SPI compatible host interface.
A minimum of external circuitry is required to connect the PL2 to the AC power
line, a twisted pair cable, or other communication medium. The PL2 is used with
a host microcontroller to construct simple sensor and actuator devices for use
in lighting control, process monitoring, access control, point-of-sale, telemetry
and other systems requiring low-cost network capability.
The inherent reliability of SSC signaling technology and incorporation
of basic data link functionality combine to provide substantial improvement
in network and communication performance over other low-cost communication methods.
The PL2 is the ideal basic communications element for a wide variety of low-cost
networking applications.
