DC Broadband Powerline Transceiver

Product Introduction

The KS800N Broadband Powerline Communication Device is an industrial-grade powerline communication module based on the IEEE P1901 standard, utilizing OFDM modulation technology and compliant with the EU EN50561 specification.

Broadband Powerline Communication (HD-PLC) refers to a high-speed data transmission method that uses existing power lines as the information transmission medium. Compared to traditional narrowband powerline communication, broadband powerline communication offers significant advantages, including higher data rates, bidirectional transmission, improved stability, and strong scalability.

The KS800N features transparent Ethernet data transmission, integrating LDPC error correction codec technology and AES-128 data encryption to ensure secure and reliable data transfer. It supports carrier communication speeds of up to 100 Mbps and achieves a transmission distance of up to 500 meters on standard power lines. The repeater version supports up to 10 levels of daisy-chained repeaters, extending the maximum transmission distance to 5 kilometers.

Configuration of the KS800N is extremely simple—just set the master or slave mode via the DIP switch.When the switch is set to "M", the device operates as the master.When set to "S", it operates as a slave.In any network, there must be one and only one master, which can connect to either one slave or multiple slaves.

The KS800N is available in multiple versions to suit different application scenarios:

Hardware Versions: Standard, High-Bandwidth, Long-Distance, Broadcast

Software Versions: High-Performance, Repeater, Dedicated for Slip-Rail (Conductor Rail) Systems

Designed to industrial-grade standards, the KS800N features a compact size (120 × 40 × 25 mm), 100 Mbps bandwidth, and long-distance transmission capability. It supports carrier communication on power lines or conductor rails with voltages below DC 300V. Typical applications include: Inspection robots,Rail-guided robots,Pipeline robots,Underwater robots,Smart charging stations
