Function The basis of the DLC-2000 system is a power line communication (PLC) infrastructure that allows to access metering and control equipment remotely. In according with the overall project goals, the primary usage of this infrastructure is remote meter reading and remote control. Besides that, the communication platform is open to various kinds of add-on services. The bottom-level of the communication infrastructure is comprised of DLC-200 Nodes, each coupled with a PLC interface (usually a low-voltage PLC device, in certain cases also with medium-voltage PLC interface). A Node is usually installed at the consumer site, e.g., inside an apartment, and has a number of metering inputs (such as M-Bus). Nodes are also equipped with digital outputs that allow switching off and on electrical/heat/gas/water supply for a particular consumer, upon commands from the utility company.
