DIN/PLC38 is low cost power line modem.It was designed for M2M wired solutions.DIN/PLC38 is suitable
for man to machine and machine to machine communications.It can be used for various embedded applications where
monitoring and control is needed.This modem is based on the ST7538P chip.PLC modem has 4 TTL input/output pins.
I2C sensors can be interfaced directly for temperature,humidity measurements.RS232 interface can be used to interface
with other controllers,external modules or computers.

With all those features DIN/PLC38 can be used in numerous areas:

  • Home and building control
  • Alarming
  • Industrial data reading (AMR)
  • Remote data reading and control

The DIN/PLC38 controller provides the following features:

  • AtMega16 RISC microcontroller
  • 16 Kbyte in system programable flash ROM
  • 1 Kbyte SRAM
  • 512 Bytes EEPROM
  • Bootloader for a firmware upgrading
  • 1 COM port
  • 4 TTL input/output pins
  • i2c interface
  • Integrated power supply 10V 100mA and 5V 100mA for external modules or sensors
  • LED indicators for power supply,carrier detect,transmiter control and data receiving
  • Plactic case DIN EN 5022 rail mountable
  • Single power supply DC 10-30V
