[0017] Preferably, the module supports power compensation by increasing nodes to improve the problem of unstable communication caused by line attenuation.

[0018] The low-voltage power line communication module of the application realizes efficient and stable data transmission in a low-voltage power line environment by optimizing the design of the input circuit, the coupling circuit, the low-voltage power line communication module and the output circuit. The action process is as follows:

[0019] Power input and voltage stabilization: the external power supply (DC 10-60V) is first connected to the module through the input circuit. The input circuit comprises a high-voltage difference LDO power supply chip, which is used for adjusting the input voltage to a stable power supply voltage (such as 5V). The filter capacitor is used to remove noise in the input power supply, so as to ensure stable voltage supply and support normal work of the module.

[0020] Signal coupling and isolation: the voltage-stabilized power supply is coupled with the data signal of the external control device through the coupling circuit. The coupling circuit uses coupling capacitors to transmit data signals to the power line, while ensuring that the direct-current power supply signal in the power line is isolated from the alternating-current data signal, so as to avoid the interference of power supply noise in the power line on the signal.

[0021] Data modulation and demodulation: The data signal is modulated and demodulated by the low-voltage circuit line communication module. This module converts the transmitted data signal into a signal suitable for power line transmission through the modulator, and restores the received signal to the original data through the demodulator. This process is based on the RS-485 communication interface, ensuring efficient and stable data transmission.

[0022] Signal output and transmission: The demodulated data is transmitted from the low-voltage circuit line communication module to the output circuit. The output circuit smoothens the signal output through the voltage stabilizing diode and filter inductor, ensuring the stability and anti-interference ability of the output signal. The output circuit transmits the processed signal to the external control device to perform specific control tasks.

[0023] Multi-node communication and expansion: This module supports up to 256 nodes, suitable for smart home, building automation, industrial control and other systems. Each node can independently receive and send data, ensuring stable communication between multiple devices.

[0024] System control and data processing (through MCU): In this invention, the MCU is responsible for receiving and analyzing the demodulated data from the low-voltage circuit line communication module, and executing actions according to specific control logic. For example, the MCU can control the switching of devices, adjust parameters (such as brightness, temperature, speed, etc.) and feedback the results to the control system. The tasks of the MCU are only described in the dependent claims as additional functions to support communication and control.

[0025] This invention transmits data signals through low-voltage power lines, ensuring efficient and stable communication in low-voltage power line environments. By optimizing signal coupling, modulation and demodulation, and output circuit, the module can effectively deal with noise, interference and voltage fluctuations in the power line, and provide a reliable data transmission channel. In addition, the system can be expanded to multiple nodes, suitable for large-scale intelligent control and automation applications.

This design effectively reduces the impact of power fluctuations and noise on communication signals, thereby improving the communication stability of the entire system.

[0028] Enhanced Anti-interference Capability: The coupling circuit effectively isolates the DC signal in the power line, so that the noise and current fluctuations in the power line do not directly affect data transmission. At the same time, the low-voltage circuit line communication module realizes efficient signal transmission through modulation and demodulation technology, greatly reducing the influence of power line interference.

[0029] Extended communication distance: The low-voltage circuit line communication module of the present application supports a communication distance of 500 meters, far exceeding the limitations of traditional PLC technology. Through the optimization of signal modulation and demodulation, the communication signal maintains a low attenuation during long-distance transmission, ensuring stable data transmission over long distances.

Each node can independently receive and send data, effectively improving the scalability and flexibility of the system.

[0031] Low cost, easy to implement: Since the present application uses existing low-voltage power lines as data transmission media, there is no need to lay additional communication lines, greatly reducing installation and wiring costs. In addition, the module has a simple structure and compact design, easy to integrate into various control systems.
