Abstract

An open source automation system for controlling electrical appliances using power line communication is presented here. Control messages are sent over Wi-Fi network from a Wi-Fi device to the microcontroller which then couples the messages to the power lines. Ubiquitous power lines are used as physical media to transmit data over 220V/50Hz signal to control appliances/equipment. The data from the microcontroller is coupled onto the power lines using a PLC (Power Line Communication) modem and DCSK (Differential Code Shift Keying) modulation technique is employed to transmit data. Each receiver unit consists of PLC modem plus microcontroller and can be connected anywhere in the power line network. The receivers have addresses assigned to them and only respond to the commands sent to them by the transmitter PLC modem. The receiver unit controls the flow of electricity to the socket. The entire system is devoid of a computer to save power and make it low cost. Use of open source hardware, Power Line Communication and micro-controller collectively reduce the cost of controlling appliances remotely.

基于电力线通信的自动化系统使用手持Wi-Fi设备

本文提出了一种利用电力线通信控制电器的开源自动化系统。控制信息通过Wi-Fi网络从Wi-Fi设备发送到微控制器，然后微控制器将信息耦合到电力线上。无处不在的电力线作为物理介质，通过220V/50Hz的信号传输数据来控制电器/设备。来自微控制器的数据使用PLC(电力线通信)调制解调器耦合到电力线上，并采用DCSK(差分码移位键控)调制技术传输数据。每个接收单元由PLC调制解调器和微控制器组成，可以连接在电力线网络的任何地方。接收器有分配给它们的地址，并且只响应由发送器PLC调制解调器发送给它们的命令。接收单元控制流向插座的电流。整个系统没有一台计算机，以节省电力，使其成本低。使用开源硬件、电力线通信和微控制器共同降低远程控制设备的成本。
