Multi-Standard Powerline Modem CMM1000

Transparent Medium-/High Voltage Powerline Modem

The CMM1000 is a power line modem-gateway mainly used to communicate via:

  • Medium voltage cables and overhead lines.
  • Offshore Rigs.
  • Subsea and Downhole installations.
  • Gold and Diamond mines.

It is able to communicate via several interfaces in parallel, incorporating:

  • RJ45.
  • RS-232.
  • RS-485 2-wire.
  • RS-485 4-wire.

Using OFDM modulation with a variable channel separation, the modem can work in the CENELEC A, B, BC, the FCC or ARIB range between 30 kHz and 482 kHz.
Every modem has an unique MAC and a configurable IP address and can be individually configured via network and the user has a huge range of configuration possibilities starting from frequency range towards output power.
The system provides intrinsic information about current consumption and board temperature (current, minimum, maximum).

For bigger systems Cipunet® provides a specially designed network management software assisting the operator in his task.

One dedicated network can handle up to 250 clients in total. A client can be a modem or a dedicated user. The total number of networks is limited by the available IP addresses only.
