The EC-2XXX Grid MicroCircuits family products converge energy and communications within the utility, industrial, commercial, and defense products markets. Grid MicroCircuits open-standard products are designed with off-the-shelf microControllers and digital signal processors for applications in OEM products and systems including:
        •Alternative energy applications (e.g., solar inverters and wind farms);
        •Meters, sensors, smart appliances & products;
        •Transportation systems and infrastructure; and
        •Industrial products控制工程网版权所有, building automation and control systems.
        Powered from a single 3.3V or 5V dc power supply and consuming less than 1 Watt of power on average, Grid MicroCircuits can be deployed in a power distribution system or other conductive media to communicate point to point, point to multi-point, or as a self-configuring mesh network. Programmed to be interoperable across multiple protocol standardsCONTROL ENGINEERING China版权所有, handling short and long packets, Grid MicroCircuits provide 128-256 bit AES encryption algorithm implemented internally, and are capable of supporting secure connections as well as application-specific transactions.
        Each EC-2XXX is IP enabled and with its embedded interoperability software, is capable of bridging private networks to open standard public networks. In additionwww.cechina.cn, products can be equipped with a bridge to Zigbee控制工程网版权所有, RFIDwww.cechina.cn, Bluetooth or other 802.xx solutions. Communication is asynchronous, bi-directional and full duplex.
        A configured system can support 60 redundant data paths with each data packet having a throughput of 250 Kb per 16 channels. In "Robust Mode," G
