6.2Power Line Modem (PLM)

A PLM modem card is an available option card for the Aurora. To collect the data transmitted over the PLM link two options are available:

•Use the AURORA Easy Control data logger, model number PVI-AEC (*Check on availability in 2007).

•Use a PLM/RS232 interface converter such as model number PVI-PLMREC-UK to connect to a PC,

In either case no additional physical connections between the inverter and the receiver are needed, as the communication uses the power lines.

In case of installations in buildings wired with three-phase systems please make sure that the AURORA inverter and the receiving equipment are both on the same phase.

The nominal transmission range is 300yards (about 300m). However, the range may be limited in case of high electromagnetic interference of the power lines. In case of extremely noisy power lines we recommend using a separate set of wires dedicated to the PLM communication, or to use the RS-485 serial link.

The maximum transmission rate of the PLM is 2400 bps.
