Introduction
LinkSprite’s broadband powerline communication module McLaren are consisted of a McLaren motherboard, UART-RS232 daughter board, UART-RS485 daughter board, UART-USB daughter board, UART-Zigbee daughter board and UART-Ethernet daughter board.
On the McLaren motherboard, there is a 20-pin 2mm spacing receptacle, users can choose different daughter boards based on the interface needs.
The McLaren motherboard also support DIP by optional pins that can be used to directly plug to user’s board without doing screwing. The interface board signals such as RS232/RS485/USB signals are also routed back to motherboard through the 20-pin receptacle, and again to users’ board through these DIP pins.
McLaren are transceiver modules designed to send / receiver serial data over the powerline network. McLaren is designed to transparently move serial data over the powerline network, and achieves the target of replacing cables by the ubiquitous powerline network.
Features
- AC and DC powerline Communications
- Fully transparent mode, plug and play coming out of the box without the need to do any programming.
- HomePlug1.0
- 5Mbps throughput on the power line
- Built-in error correction codes.
- Built-in repeater function to extend the coverage.
- Physical and logic address
- AT commands used for advanced configuration.
- 3.3V TTL UART, Optional RS232, RS485. USB, Ethernet, Zigbee interfaces
- Low power
- RoHS
Application Ideas
- AMR
- Industry manufacture and control
- Safeguard, fire alarm, smoke alarm
- Collect and transmit instrument data
- Safeguard and monitor
- Home automation
- Solar/Wind electricity generation system
- Low latency servo control
