EN 50561-2 Power Line Communication Apparatus Used in Low Voltage Installations - Limits and Measurement Methods - Part 2: Apparatus for Access Network Use

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 50561-2 testing. This part of EN 50561 specifies the limits of radio disturbance characteristics and measurement methods for PLC access network communication devices using low-voltage power installation as the transmission medium. This European standard applies to equipment communicating over this medium in the frequency range 1.606 5 MHz to 30 MHz.

Procedures are given for the measurement of signals produced by the equipment and limits are specified for the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz. There is no need for measurement at frequencies where no limit is specified. PLC devices within the scope of this standard are intended to operate under the responsibility of the PLC access network operator. This section does not apply to PLC devices in the same house that only communicate with each other; such apparatus are covered by EN 50561-1.

Tests that require the PLC modem function to be active should be performed with PLC utilization above 10% and keeping the transmission signal at maximum level for a minimum of 250 ms. For example, the transmission of a large data file can be used to use the port. Where this is not possible, an appropriate configuration should be used which ensures that the PLC transmission is then active long enough to allow repeatable measurements.
