In practical applications, it specifically refers to a communication module or communication device that uses broadband carrier technology to transmit data on a power line.

[0026] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0027] The terms related to this application are explained as follows:

[0028] Abbreviation: PC; English full name: Personal Computer; Chinese explanation: Personal Computer;

[0029] Abbreviation: GPIO; English full name: General-purpose input output; Chinese explanation: general-purpose input output;

[0030] Abbreviation: CCO; English full name: Central Coordinator; Chinese explanation: Central Coordinator;

[0032] Abbreviation: STA; English full name: Station; Chinese explanation: site.

[0033] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an upgrade burning device for a carrier communication unit is shown.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the upgrade burning device is a one-to-one burning tool or upgrade tool, and one-to-one means that only one carrier communication unit can be burned at a time. The entire burning and upgrade control core is the host computer (PC side). The upgrade method is to connect the USB to serial port module through the PC side, and the serial port module is connected to the service serial port of the carrier communication unit to upgrade a single carrier communication unit. The burning method is to burn the program of a single carrier communication unit through a Jlink emulator or a SWD emulator. The JLink emulator supports the JTAG emulator launched by emulating the ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) core chip. The PC side is responsible for storing the programs that need to be burned and upgraded, and running the host computer software for upgrading and burning.

[0035] The program upgrade of the upgrade burning device depends on the PC host software. Each upgrade can only upgrade and burn a single type of carrier communication unit, and the expansion is not flexible; both burning and upgrading can only operate on a single carrier communication module, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale upgrades and burning; the burning and upgrade solutions are not integrated together, and the operations during the upgrade and burning process are complicated.

[0036] In view of this, the present application proposes an upgrade and burning device for a carrier communication unit, which is suitable for upgrading and burning various types of carrier communication units, improving the flexibility of upgrade and burning, and meeting mass production needs.

[0037] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an upgrade burning device for a carrier communication unit of the present application is shown.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the upgrade burning device for the carrier communication unit at least includes an interactive module, a main control module and an upgrade burning baseboard.

[0039] In one example, the interactive module may be a touch panel, or other modules capable of receiving interactive operations. The main control module may be a Raspberry Pi, specifically a Raspberry Pi 4B, or a host computer, a computer, or other device with data processing and control functions.

[0040] The interactive module is used to receive configuration information and selection instructions. The configuration information is used to configure the program file stored in the main control module. The selection instruction is used to select the type of the carrier communication unit. The program file is used to upgrade and burn the program of the carrier communication unit.

[0041] The main control module is connected to the interactive module for communication. The main control module is used to configure the program file based on the configuration information, and to select the program file corresponding to the type of the carrier communication unit according to the selection instruction, and send the corresponding program file to the upgrade burning baseboard.

[0042] The upgrade and burning baseboard is connected to the main control module and the carrier communication unit for communication, and is used for receiving the program file from the main control module, and performing program upgrade and program burning on the carrier communication unit based on the program file.

[0043] Exemplarily, the configuration information and the selection instructions may be input by a user, for example, the user may input them through a touch screen.

[0044] The type of carrier communication unit can be one or more, such as a single-phase meter broadband carrier communication unit, a three-phase meter broadband carrier communication unit, a type II collector, a concentrator broadband carrier communication unit, and its corresponding dual-mode communication unit and IoT module.

[0045] The program file can be pre-stored in the main control module, and the main control module is connected to the interactive module for communication, so the user can configure the program file through the interactive module, and the configuration includes modification, update, etc.

[0046] The upgrade and burning device of the present application supports upgrading and burning of different types of carrier communication units, and users can select the required type, which improves flexibility and has strong scalability.

[0047] In another example, continue to refer to Figure 2 In addition to a touch screen, a Raspberry Pi 4B, and an upgrade burning baseboard, the upgrade burning device of the present application may also include a three-in-one switch, a filter, a switching power supply, a Raspberry Pi 4B, a touch screen, a SWD burner, a pin board probe, and the like.

[0048] The three-in-one switch is used to power on and off the upgrade burning device.

[0049] The filter is connected to the leakage protection switch and is used to filter interference information in the electrical signal. The filter may include an EMI power filter, which is used to filter out grid interference and prevent noise from crosstalking into the grid.

[0050] The leakage protection switch is connected to the switching power supply for leakage protection. The leakage protection switch is a protective device for the entire upgrade and burning device. If leakage occurs during the upgrade and burning process, the power supply will be cut off for safety protection.

[0051] The switching power supply outputs a voltage of 24V or 5V, which is connected to the upgrade burning baseboard to provide power to the upgrade burning baseboard.

[0052] The upgrade burning baseboard is the executive body and core part of the entire upgrade burning device, and is used to start and close the upgrade burning process. The IP address and MAC address of the upgrade burning baseboard are unique in the entire local area network.

[0053] The burner is connected to the upgrade burning baseboard, and the burner is connected to the carrier communication unit through a pin board probe. The burner includes an SWD burner, which is a tool for burning programs to the carrier communication unit. Before upgrading the program, the program of the carrier communication unit to be burned is built into the burner through a software tool.

[0054] The module interface is connected to the service serial port of the carrier communication unit, and communicates with the carrier communication unit through the y-model protocol. The carrier communication unit can be directly inserted into this module interface, and supports connecting multiple (for example, 20) carrier communication unit interfaces, and can upgrade 20 carrier communication units at the same time. In some cases, the module interface can be independent of the upgrade burning baseboard, and in some cases, the module interface can also be set on the upgrade burning baseboard, such as being set in the interface conversion board of the upgrade burning baseboard.

[0055] The pin board probe connects the programming pin of the SWD programmer to the SWD interface of the carrier communication unit through the pin header. Through the probe contact, 20 carrier communication units can be programmed at the same time.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, Raspberry Pi 4B is the control mechanism of the device upgrade and burning process. The program file is placed in the Raspberry Pi and is responsible for the selection of the burning program after the upgrade, the selection of the communication unit type, the parameter configuration of the upgrade program (upgrade command, upgrade password, etc.), the upgrade record preservation, the upgrade process processing, and the reception of the upgrade results.

[0057] The touch screen is connected to the Raspberry Pi to display the upgrade plan, upgrade parameters, upgrade process progress, upgrade results and other human-computer interaction information.

[0058] The upgrade burning baseboard is connected to the Raspberry Pi 4B through the Ethernet interface for TCP communication. The Raspberry Pi 4B is connected to the touch screen through the USB interface and the high-definition HDMI interface.

[0059] The upgrade burning baseboard and the carrier communication unit use the service serial port and GPIO to connect and communicate, and the SWD burner and the carrier communication unit use the SWD interface to connect and communicate.

[0060] During the upgrade or burning process, the Raspberry Pi selects the type of carrier communication unit through the touch screen, selects the upgrade plan, configures the upgrade parameters, generates the upgrade plan, and clicks OK. The Raspberry Pi automatically sends the upgrade plan to the upgrade burning baseboard, which executes the upgrade plan, upgrades 20 carrier communication units, and uploads the upgrade progress and results to the Raspberry Pi, which displays the upgrade results on the screen.

[0061] The carrier communication unit type includes, for example, at least one of the following: a single-phase carrier communication unit, a three-phase carrier communication unit, a concentrator local communication unit (CCO), a type II collector, a single-phase dual-mode communication unit, a three-phase dual-mode communication unit, a CCO dual-mode communication unit, an HPLC_IOT_STA Internet of Things carrier communication module, an HPLC_IOT_CCO Internet of Things carrier communication module, etc.

[0065] The external interface includes: at least one of a first power interface, a first high-voltage interface, and a first Ethernet interface.

The first power interface is, for example, Figure 3 The 24V, 5V power supply interface 5, the first strong power interface is for example Figure 3 The strong current interface 5 in the first Ethernet interface is, for example, Figure 3 External Ethernet interface 5 in.

[0066] The first power interface (24V, 5V power interface 5) is used to connect the switching power supply to power the upgraded burning baseboard. When the carrier communication unit includes a collector (such as a type II collector), the first high-voltage interface (high-voltage interface 5) is used to power the collector. The first Ethernet interface (external Ethernet interface 5) is used to connect the main control module.

[0067] Each of the N internal interfaces includes at least one of a second power interface, a second high-voltage interface, and a second Ethernet interface.

[0068] For example, taking the first internal interface as an example, the second power interface is power interface 1, the second high-voltage interface is high-voltage interface 1, and the second Ethernet interface is Ethernet interface 1. Taking the fourth internal interface as an example, the second power interface is power interface 4, the second high-voltage interface is high-voltage interface 4, and the second Ethernet interface is Ethernet interface 4. The second internal interface and the third internal interface are similar. Figure 3 Not shown.

The Ethernet switch chip is connected to the first Ethernet interface and the second Ethernet interface. The DC-DC conversion circuit is connected to the first power interface and is used to convert the electrical signal, and the conversion of the electrical signal includes converting the input voltage from 24V to 12V, 5V, or 3.3V to provide a stable and reliable power supply voltage.

[0071] The 24V and 5V power supply interfaces are used for the 24V and 5V outputs of external switching power supplies to power the functional interfaces and modules of the baseboard.

[0072] The external strong current interface (strong current interface 5) is connected to the internal strong current interface (strong current interface 1-4) and is used to power the Type II collector and can also be used for carrier communication.

[0073] The Ethernet switch chip supports 6 or 5 Ethernet interfaces, of which 2 or 1 Ethernet interface is external and used to connect to the Raspberry Pi network port and perform TCP communication with the Raspberry Pi. Figure 3 The figure shows that 1 Ethernet interface is connected to the Raspberry Pi. The other 4 Ethernet interfaces are connected to the 4 upgrade and burning daughter boards. The 4 power interfaces are connected to the 4 upgrade and burning daughter boards to supply power to the upgrade and burning daughter boards. The upgrade and burning baseboard is the server and the Raspberry Pi is the client.

[0074] For example, the structure of each of the N upgrade burning sub-boards is as follows: Figure 4 shown.

The strong current interface is connected to the terminal of the interface adapter board, which is used to provide 220V power supply to the II type collector, and can also be used for carrier communication.

[0078] Exemplarily, each of the N upgrade burning sub-boards includes: a core board and a relay circuit. The core board is connected to M module interfaces through a service serial port (serial port 1-5), and the M module interfaces are used to connect to the carrier communication unit, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
