PL360-EK User Guide

Introduction

PL360-EK is an evaluation kit for the PL360 modem for Power Line Communication (PLC) from Microchip

Technology Inc. PL360 is a multi-protocol device implementing a very flexible architecture, which allows

implementation of standard and customized PLC solutions.

PL360 has been conceived to be bundled with an external Microchip MCU, which controls the PL360 PLC modem.

PL360MB is PLC multi-purpose modem board based on the PL360 transceiver and on the SAM4CMS16C ARM

Cortex™ M4 microcontroller. This development board provides a full featured platform to develop a complete

communications system over PLC technology and to demonstrate the high accuracy single phase energy metering

functions of ATSAM4CMS16C device. Microchip provides coupling reference designs for different load options,

targeting common configurations in standard frequency bands complying with existing regulations (CENELEC, FCC

and ARIB).

Contents

• Welcome letter introducing the evaluation kit and its contents

• Boards:

– Two PL360MBv1 modem boards

– Two PLCOUP007v2.5 coupling boards (CENELEC A-

Band)

– Two PLCOUP006v2 coupling boards (FCC frequency

band)

• Cables:

– Two micro A/B-type USB cables

– Two power cord cables IEC320-C8

• Jumpers:

– Two jumpers with pitch 5.08 mm

– Two jumpers with pitch 2.54 mm

Features

• PL360 is a compact and highly efficient device for a wide range of Smart Grid applications such as smart

metering (smart meters and data concentrators), lighting, industrial/home automation, home and building energy

management systems, solar energy and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) charging stations, among others

• PL360 used as G3-PLC or PRIME device includes enhanced features such as additional robust modes and

frequency band extension (up to 472 kHz)

• PL360MB board mounts a PL360 transceiver and a SAM4CMS16C ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller. This

development board provides a full featured platform to develop a complete communications system based on

PLC technology, and lets designers evaluate the accuracy of single phase energy metering SoC and develop

code for smart energy applications. PL360MB board provides support for:

– PLC band characterization

– Noise level measurement

– PLC and metrology sensitivity level measurement

– Maximum reachable distance

– Power consumption

– Check PLC performance in different bands (CENELEC, FCC, ARIB) setting different PLC coupling boards

(provided with this evaluation kit)

– Evaluate the high accuracy of single phase energy metering measurements with CT, shunt or Rogowski coil

sensors

– Opto Port Interface compliant with ANSI C12.20 protocol

– Metering Pulses output pins (Wh, VArh, VAh)

– Battery-backed Real-Time Clock (RTC)

– Power fail detection

– On board Relay Driver circuitry

• PL360MB board can be supplied with 100/115/230 V

AC 50-60 Hz power input

• PL360MB board includes a JTAG interface for MCU debugging and programming purposes and two debugging

UARTs. And also it provides battery backup and a slow crystal oscillator to support SAM4CMS16C embedded

RTC and low power modes. Several wake-up conditions are available, such as mains crossover detection,

voltage rails recovery condition, anti-tampering sources (TMP0 pad) and Force Wake-up (FWUP) pin
