Abstract

The invention discloses a method for simulating communication between nodes. A virtual concentrator which can simulate the function of a concentrator to send operation commands and collect operation results is provided. A hardware simulator for simulating a communication node of a power carrier communication network is provided, and is controlled by an upper module of the hardware simulator. A plurality of virtual data acquisition terminals capable of simulating the functions of the data acquisition terminals to generate messages and the functions of sending and receiving messages are set. A control unit for configuring the hardware simulator, the virtual concentrator and the virtual data acquisition terminal is set. The control unit configures the virtual concentrator, the hardware simulator and the virtual data acquisition terminal so as to be connected into an analog power carrier communication network. The virtual concentrator, the hardware simulator and the virtual data acquisition terminal are made to simulate the communication behavior in the power carrier communication network according to their respective scripts.
