[0003] The collection, access and collaborative control of distributed photovoltaic, energy storage, charging piles, controllable loads and other equipment in the low-voltage substation area all rely on reliable communication technology. As the edge computing terminal of the distribution substation area, the local communication technology solution currently used is mainly HPLC carrier communication. Carrier communication technology belongs to the physical layer shared power line technology, which is easily affected by line length and strong electric signal interference, resulting in reduced communication reliability or even failure of communication.

[0004] The existing local wireless communication technology solutions for the intelligent fusion terminal in the substation area are all upgraded and reconstructed on the local communication module slot interface, using a wireless communication module to replace the original carrier communication module in the slot, or adding a wireless hardware module to the carrier communication module hardware, and using a TTL serial port to connect to the main control board of the intelligent fusion terminal in the substation area. The wireless module and the carrier module share a serial port as the access control interface of the main control board, and the two communication channels cannot be used independently at the same time. The carrier communication module on the local communication module slot needs to carry the collection business of all carrier communication devices in the entire substation area, and the access of new wireless devices will affect the original business. Therefore, it is very necessary to adopt an independent channel wireless communication solution as a supplement to carrier communication. Utility Model Content

It no longer shares a serial port with the carrier module as the access control interface of the main control board. There is no resource competition with the local communication module interface and there is no impact on the original business.
