Based on the feedbacks of LinkSprite narrow band powerline communication modem, broadband modems are consisted of a PLC-UART motherboard, UART-RS232 daughter board, UART-RS485 daughterboard, UART-USB daughter board, UART-Zigbee daughter board and UART-Ethernet daughter board.
On the PLC-UART motherboard, there is a 20-pin 2mm spacing receptacle, users can choose different daughter boards based on the interface needs. This 20-pin receptacle is also pin-compatible with Xbee
module from Digi
The PLC-UART motherboard also support DIP by optional pins that can be used to directly plug to user’s board without doing screwing. The interface board signals such as RS232/RS485/USB signals are also routed back to motherboard through the 20-pin receptacle, and again to users’ board through these DIP pins.
Powerline communication transceiver modules from LinkSprite (LinkSprite modules) are transceiver modules designed to send/receiver serial data over the powerline network. PLC-UART is designed to transparently move serial data over the powerline network, and achieves the target of replacing cables by the ubiquitous powerline network.
