跻身未来的电力线通信 (六)PLC固件设计及其应用

PREDICTIVE SCHEMES FOR FUTURE POWER LINE COMMUNICATION Part Six Design and Application of PLC Firmware

电力线通信 ( PLC)的拓展应用 ,关键之一在于固件的研制。文中立足于多网互联业务融合 ,首先将 PLC固件划分为传输设备、网络设备和特殊设备三大类 ,进而描述各自的具体功能 ;然后对具体的固件进行功能模块的划分、硬件电路的设计、接口条件的分析、软件的模块划分和分层处理等 ,其中着重给出了 PLC关键固件的设计方案 ,例如 PLC传输设备、PLC接入网的路由器、信息家电接口及跨变压器设备等 ;最后总结了 PLC固件的应用 。

One of the crucial points in further application of power line communication (PLC) is the development of its firmware. The firmware is categorized into three parts, the transmission facility, network facility and special facility, by the amalgamation of several networks. The functions of each part are described, and the partition of the function modules of a specific firmware, the hardware design, the interface conditions, and the software module partition are analyzed. The design scheme of the pivotal firmware of PLC is emphasized, such as the transmission equipment, the routers of the access network (AN), the interface unit of information appliance equipment and so on. Finally, this paper summarizes the application of PLC firmware and gives a firmware framework configuration of LAN.
