Microchip Technology PL360G55CF-EK Quick Start Manual

PL360G55CF-EK Quick Start Guide
Overview
PL360G55CF-EK is an evaluation kit for the PL360 modem, a multi-protocol device to implement
standard and customized PLC solutions. PL360G55CF-EK includes a SAMG55 ARM
microcontroller, which provides a full-featured platform to develop a complete communication system over
PLC technology.

Getting Started

Attention: Before starting, please obtain PL360G55CF-EK online resources from Microchip
website. Please follow the instructions of the welcome letter included with this kit.
Important: This guide assumes the use of 2 units of PL360G55CF-EK board running G3-PLC
PHY Tester.
Power-Up
The board can be supplied with the included USB cable or from an external DC Power Supply ranging
from 6V to 30V. When powered-up, LED 3V3 and LED 12V turn on. Please check the PL360G55CF-EK
User Guide to know more about the power supply requirements.
The kit comes already programmed with the G3-PLC PHY Tester for CENELEC-A application, allowing
the transmission and reception of PLC messages at PHY layer level. LED0 (green) blinks to indicate that
the application is running. LED1 (red) flashes when a PLC message is received and LED D104 (yellow)
will flash at each transmission.
