Description

DESCRIPTION

PLC integrated in electrical mechanisms (PowerLan).

SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE 5

Telecommunications sector Specifically, communication technology through the power grid, known as PLC. (Power Line Communication).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 10

The transmission of data through power lines using PLC technology allows the use of existing electrical networks for the transmission of voice, video and digital data through them. Said PLC technology also allows the creation of domestic and corporate local area networks (LANs) taking advantage of the existing low voltage electrical infrastructure 15 in any building for the network interconnection of any type of peripheral device, such as, for example, a computer , a printer or a television among many others.

An example of this system, allows to create local networks of local area taking advantage of the electrical wiring of the houses is based on the use of adapters of electrical line that connect to the sockets and allow the transmission of data through the infrastructure electrical installed in the house, turning any outlet into a network connection point.

 25

Each power line adapter connected to a power outlet comprises at least one RJ45 Ethernet type communication port in which peripheral devices such as a router to access the Internet, a computer, a printer, etc. can be connected. Examples of such power line adapters are devices according to the HomePlug, Universal Powerline Association or ITU Ghn standards respectively. 30

Thus, when the data signal is injected into the power grid, the use of external adapters is necessary.

.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION 35

The “PLC integrated in electrical mechanisms” solves the problem of having to use the external adapters to inject the data signal into the electrical network, integrating the system into the electrical mechanisms in a simple, fast and discreet way.

 40

The object of the present invention is the integration inside the mechanism box used for the assembly of electrical modules of diverse nature of an electronic PLC module used for the transmission of data through the electrical network.

For this, the PLC electronic module manufactured for this purpose will be introduced into a mechanism box. Said module will be fixed inside the mechanism box by means of parts manufactured for this purpose.

Subsequently, and depending on the electrical modules to which the PLC electronic module is connected, the connection between both elements will be made according to the forms described.

The local area network (LAN) created for data transmission taking advantage of the existing electrical network will consist of a modem that receives the network signal from outside and that

connects to the set defined by the present invention for the transmission of the network signal to the electrical network. Finally, as many sets defined by the present invention as intended connection points for users to the created LAN will be installed.
