Furthermore, the specific features or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0036] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a BPLC communication network monitoring method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The method is applied to track circuit monitoring. The BPLC communication network includes at least one level of communication network, and the communication networks are connected through relay circuit modules. The method includes the following steps:
[0037] S100, set the power line carrier frequency channel of the communication network to be scanned as a management frequency channel, and perform carrier scanning on the management frequency channel, which is different from the power line carrier frequency channel of each level of communication network;
[0038] S200, determine whether a new power line carrier terminal node is scanned, if yes, execute step S300, otherwise execute step S400;
[0039] S300, set the power line carrier frequency channel of the new power line carrier terminal node as the power line carrier initial frequency channel of the communication network to be scanned, and restore the power line carrier frequency channel of the communication network to be scanned to the power line carrier initial frequency channel;
[0040] S400, restore the power line carrier frequency channel of the communication network to be scanned to the power line carrier initial frequency channel.
[0041] In a specific embodiment, the BPLC communication network can include a central coordinator (CCO), a plurality of relay circuit modules and a plurality of power line carrier terminal nodes STA (Station), the communication link between the central coordinator and the first relay circuit module usually constitutes the first level of communication network, and each communication network has its own power line carrier initial frequency channel. The latest power carrier chip can be used, which conforms to the IEEE 1901-2020 standard and provides dynamic allocation of spectrum and bandwidth functions to dynamically allocate frequency channels for each communication network.
[0042] The technical scheme of the application reserves one frequency channel as a management frequency channel, and the power line carrier terminal node STA can be configured as the management frequency channel by default when it leaves the factory. When a new power line carrier terminal node is added in the track network, the power line carrier frequency channel of the communication network to be scanned is modified to inquire whether a new power line carrier terminal node is added, and the carrier frequency channel of the newly added power line carrier terminal node is dynamically modified, so that the newly added node can join the communication network and work normally.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the carrier scanning on the management channel in step S100 can include scanning the MAC address of the power line carrier terminal node on the management channel through Ethernet. In a specific embodiment, all the relay circuit modules and the power line carrier terminal nodes in the BPLC communication network have their own MAC addresses, and the carrier scanning can be performed by scanning the MAC addresses of the devices on the management channel through Ethernet.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the judging whether a new power line carrier terminal node is scanned in step S200 can include judging whether a MAC address not in the MAC address table is detected, the MAC address table including the MAC addresses of the communication devices in the BPLC communication network. In a specific embodiment, the CCO in the BPLC communication network can store the MAC address table, which stores the MAC addresses of the communication devices in the BPLC communication network. When a new power line carrier terminal node is added to the BPLC communication network, the MAC address of the new device in the original MAC address table can be found by scanning the MAC addresses of the devices on the management channel through Ethernet, which is the MAC address of the new power line carrier terminal node, so that it can be judged that a new power line carrier terminal node is scanned.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, step S300 can further include saving the MAC address not in the MAC address table into the MAC address table. Specifically, if a new power line carrier terminal node is scanned, the MAC address of the power line carrier terminal node can be saved into the original MAC address table, so as to facilitate the subsequent network monitoring. If it is found that a MAC address in the original MAC address table is not in the communication network in the scanning, the MAC address in the MAC address table can be deleted.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, after the power line carrier channel of the communication network to be scanned is restored to the power line carrier initial channel in step S300, the power line carrier initial channel can be further scanned, and the network node connection topology of the communication network to be scanned can be updated according to the scanning result. That is, the new power line carrier terminal node can be updated to the communication network to be scanned.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the CCO 101 can be connected to the power line carrier terminal node 102 through the power line carrier channel, and the CCO 101 can be connected to the power line carrier terminal node 103 through the power line carrier channel. Figure 2As shown, the relay circuit module can include a first carrier module and a second carrier module, the first carrier module is connected with the previous stage communication network, the second carrier module is connected with the next stage communication network, the first carrier module and the second carrier module are connected through Ethernet, the power line carrier frequency channels of the previous stage communication network and the next stage communication network connected by each relay circuit module are different, that is, ch-A and ch-B are different, the working frequency channel of the first carrier module is the power line carrier frequency channel ch-A of the previous stage communication network, the working frequency channel of the second carrier module is the power line carrier frequency channel ch-B of the next stage communication network, wherein the first carrier module receives the data transmitted by the previous stage communication network, and forwards the data to the second carrier module through Ethernet, and the second carrier module transmits the data to the next stage communication network. In this way, the data transmission on the BPLC communication network is completed.
[0048] The relay circuit module adopts a frequency-modulated carrier hybrid relay design, uses two different frequency channel carrier modules, connects the carrier local end signal input of the previous stage, exchanges data through Ethernet, and outputs the signal of the local end of the other frequency channel of the next stage. Support directional routing protocol naming, can repeatedly cascade connect multiple groups of relay circuits, and can solve the long-distance, high-bandwidth, and low-delay of track circuit monitoring.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the working mode of the first carrier module is terminal mode, and the working mode of the second carrier module is local mode. Specifically, the terminal mode can generally refer to a device without relay forwarding capability in the BPLC communication network, which can also be called a non-relay mode, for example, STA is a terminal mode device, and the local mode refers to a device with relay forwarding capability, which can also be called a relay mode, for example, CCO device and PCO device are local mode devices.
[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the power line carrier frequency channel of each communication network is a low frequency channel obtained by dividing the BPLC full frequency band by 1 / 8, and the management frequency channel is a frequency channel obtained by dividing the BPLC full frequency band by 1 / 8, except for the low frequency channel.
[0051] In the BPLC technology, the full frequency band of BPLC is 2-28MHz, the full frequency band of BPLC will get two channels ch2 and ch3 after 1 / 2 frequency division, the spectrum of channel ch2 and ch3 from low to high is 1MHz-14MHz and 15MHz-28MHz respectively, the full frequency band of BPLC will get four channels ch4-ch7 after 1 / 4 frequency division, the spectrum of channel ch4-ch7 from low to high is 0.5MHz-7MHz, 7.5MHz-14MHz, 14.5MHz-21MHz and 21.5MHz-28MHz respectively, the full frequency band of BPLC will get eight channels ch8-ch15 after 1 / 8 frequency division, the spectrum of channel ch8-ch15 from low to high is 0.25MHz-3.5MHz, 3.75MHz-7.0MHz, 7.25MHz-10.5MHz, 10.75MHz-14MHz, 14.25-17.5MHz, 17.75MHz-21MHz, 21.25MHz-24.5MHz and 24.75MHz-28MHz respectively. In theory, all channels can be used as power line carrier channels for communication networking, but considering that the attenuation of high frequency signal is relatively obvious with the increase of distance, the higher the frequency, the shorter the communication distance, after repeated testing and verification, ch-8 (0.25MHz-3.5MHz), ch-9 (3.75MHz-7.0MHz), ch-10 (7.25MHz-10.5MHz) and ch11 (10.75MHz-14MHz) are used as power line carrier communication channels, which can ensure the communication distance and bandwidth requirement. If the carrier network only needs to be within 1km, other channels can also be used.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the management channel can be preset. For example, the STA device is factory-set with a default management channel, which can be any channel other than the communication networking power line carrier channel, preferably ch-4 (0.5MHz-7.0MHz) or ch-5 (7.5MHz-14MHz) as described above. The communication distance of ch-4 is farther than that of ch-5, and the signal transmission is more stable and less susceptible to interference.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the BPLC communication network monitoring method of the present application can perform steps S100-S302 on each communication network in turn from the first level communication network of the BPLC communication network.
[0054] Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of a BPLC communication network according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It includes a power line carrier central office (CCO), whose carrier channel is adjustable, and is therefore also called an FM carrier central office; two power line carrier terminals (STAs), whose carrier channels are adjustable, and are also called FM carrier terminals; and two relay circuit modules. Both the first and second relay circuit modules include a first carrier module and a second carrier module, which are connected via Ethernet. Each of the FM carrier terminals, the two power line carrier terminals, and the carrier modules in the relay circuit modules has its own MAC address. The MAC address of the FM carrier central office is 05:15, and the MAC addresses of the two power line carrier terminals are 01:13 and 01:34, respectively. The MAC addresses of the carrier modules in the first relay circuit module are 01:28 and 02:23, respectively, and the MAC addresses of the carrier modules in the second relay circuit module are 03:45 and 02:38, respectively. Figure 3 The CCP demonstrates a three-level communication network: Level 1 is the communication between the FM carrier central office and the first carrier module within the first relay circuit module; Level 2 is the communication between the second carrier module within the first relay circuit module and the first carrier module within the second relay circuit module; and Level 3 is the communication between the second carrier module within the second relay circuit module and the subsequent modules. The initial power line carrier channel for Level 1 is ch-9, for Level 2 it is ch-8, and for Level 3 it is ch-10. The FM carrier central office sends communication signals, which are then modulated onto the power lines for transmission after passing through the distribution cabinet. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The topology diagram of the network nodes of the BPLC communication network is as follows: Master corresponds to the frequency modulation carrier central office, S1 corresponds to the first carrier module in the first relay circuit module, M2 corresponds to the second carrier module in the first relay circuit module, S2 (MAC 02:23) corresponds to the power line carrier terminal, S2 (MAC 03:45) corresponds to the first carrier module in the second relay circuit module, M2 corresponds to the second carrier module in the second relay circuit module, and S3 corresponds to the power line carrier terminal (MAC 02:55).
[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the dashed lines indicate the newly added... Figure 3 The power line carrier terminal in the BPLC communication network shown has a MAC address of 01:34. When a new terminal is added to the communication network, the technical solution of this invention can be used to scan and detect the communication network.
[0056] like Figure 6As shown, the power line carrier channel of the first level communication network can be modified to the management channel ch-4 first. After carrier scanning, no new node is found, and the corresponding node connection topology diagram is as shown in the upper part of Figure 7 the node connection topology diagram of the network in the above. Since the power line carrier channel of the first level communication network is the management channel ch-4, at this time, the carrier scanning cannot scan the communication nodes behind. The power line carrier channel of the first level communication network is restored to ch-9, and the new scanning will appear as shown in the lower part of Figure 7 the node connection topology diagram of the network, that is, the starting node connection topology diagram of the network as shown in Figure 4 the upper part of
[0057] Next, as shown in Figure 8 , the carrier channel of the second level communication network is modified to the management channel ch-4, and after carrier scanning, a new node MAC 01:34 is found, and the corresponding node connection topology diagram is as shown in the upper part of Figure 9 the node connection topology diagram of the network. The system modifies the carrier channel of the newly connected power line carrier terminal node to the original channel ch-8 of the second level communication network, and then restores the carrier channel ch-8 of the second level communication network. The new scanning will appear as shown in the lower part of Figure 9 the node connection topology diagram of the network, that is, the updated node connection topology diagram of the network.
[0058] Finally, as shown in Figure 10 , the carrier channel of the third level communication network is modified to the management channel ch-4, and after carrier scanning, no new node is found, and the corresponding node connection topology diagram is as shown in Figure 11 . Since the power line carrier channel of the third level communication network is the management channel ch-4, at this time, the carrier scanning cannot scan the communication nodes behind. The system restores the carrier channel ch-10 of the third level communication network, and there is no next level communication network. The BPLC communication network monitoring is completed, and the new scanning will appear the updated node connection topology diagram of the network as shown in Figure 12 .
[0059] The BPLC communication network monitoring method of the application is a plug-and-play method that can automatically correct the registration of the access network channel. When a new terminal device is installed to the network, the system can perform the naming of the directed routing protocol. All terminal devices have a default management channel, and when naming is performed, the system will change the communication channel level by level, monitor whether a new node terminal is added, and then modify its application channel according to the current network configuration. When the system returns to normal operation, the latest network node connection topology diagram is automatically recorded. Only a simple installation method is needed, which can greatly reduce the time of technical personnel on-site installation and maintenance of equipment, reduce the working risk of workers near the track, reduce the influence of adding or deleting nodes on normal operation, and increase the efficiency.
[0060] Figures 3 to 12 The process of monitoring step by step from the first communication network is shown in the above embodiment, in other embodiments, the monitoring can be directly performed on the communication network with new nodes, so that time can be saved.
