Digital comunication through powerline

Oct 21, 2006 9 Replies

Hi, I am looking for both an integrated (IC) powerline modem and an integrated comunication "error controller". I need the second device because I've heard someone saying about the powerline which it might be full of noise (caused by switching power devices).



I have to build a small network of current sensor at my home, where each host (sensor) talks with the main unit through the powerline.



Can anyone help me, please?



PS. I would be happy to know any projetc/experience right done.

Thank you. Those are commercial devices, aren't they?

I have to build a network with my own devices. Simply, I need to know what type of ICs I have to use.

Gee, microcontrollers, op-amps, transformers, capacitors, and so on. So, it was a homework problem?

It's my graduation thesis ;-)

Use X-10 for communication with PIC chips to connect to the CTs and signal. It is possible to run IP over home wiring but it's more than you need.

Sorry, what are CTs?

Can you give me a link to a project which uses PIC or ATMEL MCUs to implementing X-10 comunication protocol?

Are you talking about MAX2980 and MAX2986?

Thank you and regards.

Obviously, Please ;-)
