Functional Summary |
|
The PLC-1 Transceiver provides the following list of functions
- Very robust FSK demodulation technique, high noise immunity,
- Low-harmonic narrowband modulation,
- Programmable baud rate from 100 bauds to 30,000 bauds,
- Programmable central frequency from 50 to 500 kHz,
- Complete Medium Access Controls (MAC) logic on the device,
- CSMA/CD type collision detection and resolution,
- Programmable automatic preamble generation,
- Programmable automatic packet-priority management with four levels
(highest, high, standard and differed),
- Packet queuing function,
- Error detection (CRC 16),
- High-efficiency Forward Error Correction (FEC),
- Nibble-oriented efficient data encoding/decoding with control characters EOF
and EOP using Hamming code,
- Full transaction-type management using unacknowledged and acknowledged message,
- General timer used for delay timing of retransmission, duplicate packet rejection,
- Parallel and serial interface port (SPI compliant),
- Protocol neutrality, transports any high-level protocol packet
(known or user-defined protocols) in a single network.
