PD CLC/TS 50568 discusses electricity metering data exchange. PD CLC/TS 50568-8-5 belongs to PD CLC/TS 50568 multi-series that discusses narrow-band OFDM G3-PLC communication profile for neighbourhood networks.
PD CLC/TS 50568-8-5 specifies the EN 62056 DLMS/COSEM communication profile for metering purposes based on the Recommendations ITU-T G.9901 Narrowband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Power Line Communication Transceivers – Power Spectral Density Specification
And ITU-T G.9903 Narrow-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing power line communication transceivers for G3-PLC networks, an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Power Line Communications (PLC) protocol.
PD CLC/TS 52056-8-5 on electricity metering data exchange is useful for:
The DLMS/COSEM narrow-band OFDM PLC profile for G3 networks is intended for remote data exchange on Neighbourhood Networks (NN) between Neighbourhood Network Access Points (NNAP) and Local Network Access Points (LNAPs) or End Devices using OFDM technology over the low voltage electricity distribution network as a communication medium.
PD CLC/TS 52056-8-5 helps you with Robustness: The communication profile shall be suited to severe powerline environments.
Performance: It embeds adaptive modulation to use the proper modulation according to the quality of the link.
Simplicity: It shall be simple to implement, install (Plug and Play), operate, and maintain.
Flexibility: It shall be compatible with diverse applications and network topologies
Security: It shall offer a secure environment for the promotion of Value-Added services.
Openness: It shall be based on open standards to support multi-supplier solutions.
Scalability: It shall support a very large range of devices (from 2 up to 2000 nodes in the same PAN).
Future proof: It shall be able to support future applications.
