By: Yitran Yitran’s PLC networking chips are used to provide the networking between smart sockets and the in-home display panel. The Expo pavilion features, for example, household appliances attached to smart sockets, which measure the power consumption different devices and sends that information via PLC to a display in the home so that the consumer can easily see the energy consumed by each device used. This allows the consumer to understand their home’s energy profile, which in turns allows him/her to respond to changes in electricity prices and receive rebates from the power utilities for allowing the use of energy management system in the home. This same networking technology can also be used to send gas and water consumption information to the same in-home display, using a combination of wireless and PLC networking technologies. Please visit the Yitran site for photos from the pavilion. Yitran currently offers its IT700 PLC modem chip, which features an extended 8051 MCU core, offering a high level of code efficiency and high speed operation. The microcontroller and the transceiver along with the analog front end (AFE) are integrated into a plastic molded QFN56 package. IT700 complies with worldwide regulations (FCC, ARIB and CENELEC bands) and is fully back compatible with the IT800 series. The Chinese State Grid Corporation has invested a great deal of time and money over the last several years to cope with the ever increasing demand for electricity by planning to integrate various energy and smart grid technologies into China’s future. The display at the Shanghai World Expo is designed to give visitors an opportunity to learn more about the smart grid concept as well as the key areas of the State Grid Corporation’ Note: All product and service names mentioned are the trademarks of their respective owners. # # # Yitran Communications Ltd. is a fabless semiconductor company and leading provider of cutting edge powerline communication technology for command and control applications.
