2 Important safety notes
It is essential to have read and understood all safety and operating instructions before the device is
used for the first time; these should then be kept safe for future reference.
Installation may only be carried out upon instruction of the respective pow-
er company and by an installation company registered in the power compa-
ny's installation directory.
If possible, install the device when it is de-energised. Be aware of the rele-
vant safety instructions, otherwise there is risk of electric shock or electric
arcing (risk of burns).
The line properties and cross-sections for connecting the BPL Modem MV
must be selected based on the fuse protection. The current value of the fuse
protection should be 2A.
Additional restrictions on installation authorisation may apply at the in-
tended installation location. This requires co-ordination with the associat-
ed power company.
3 Installation
Install the BPL Modem MV properly on the top-hat rails. Take into account the vertical installation
alignment of the BPL Modem MV so that the mains power supply comes from below and the label
is legible in an upright position.

5 Broadband Powerline communication (BPL)
Broadband Powerline communication (BPL) for low-voltage and medium-voltage power line infra-
structure is a reliable and secure technology for smart grids. It enables data connections for auto-
mation, control and monitoring in almost real time using the electrical wiring without the need to
route data cables.
The BPL Modem MV works with a data transmission method in accordance with the international
data transmission standard IEEE1901 and was specifically developed for the interference-resistant
inductive EICHHOFF signal coupler technology.
For this purpose, high-frequency currents with a smaller amplitude for data transmission are mod-
ulated directly onto the operating company mains.
The possible transmission paths between medium-voltage switchgear are up to approximately
800 m in conjunction with interference-suppressing, inductive EICHHOFF signal couplers and can
be expanded at any time by bridging the BPL Modem MV.
Data connections can be run so that they are blackout-safe via the BPL Modem MV thanks to the
provided (network buffered) DC power supply from the accumulators of 24V DC nominal.

7 Basic structure of a BPL network in the medium-volt-
age infrastructure area
A BPL network in the infrastructure area is always set up as a point-to-point data connection be-
tween switchgear and cable distribution points. This is fundamentally different than the PLC net-
works in the low-voltage area.
The primary goal of a BPL network in the medium-voltage infrastructure area is the maximum reli-
ability of the data connection between switchgear and cable distribution points. A particularly high
transmission rate is only of secondary importance.
The basic structure of a BPL network designed for the reliability of the data connection in the
infrastructure area is to be illustrated based on a typical example from the medium-voltage
infrastructure area:
An open switch in the medium-voltage switchgear interrupts the Powerline
communication on the corresponding strand.
The BPL overall network is divided into route-related subnets in order to arrive at a clearly defined
structure:
The great advantage of splitting the overall BPL network into route-related subnets is that each
route-related subnet receives exactly one transmission task that can accurately be defined physically
and solved optimally on an individual basis.
Route-related subnet A connects the medium-voltage switchgear 4 and 1.
Route-related subnet B connects the medium-voltage switchgear 2 and 3.
Additional route-related subnets where the number is not limited.
The subnets are technically coupled to each other for data transmission using
RJ45 patch cables.

This is the only network architecture that makes it possible to fully utilize the inductive power cou-
pling with EICHHOFF signal couplers, which bundle the modem transmitting energy precisely to this
cable connection using a type of directional antenna.
The maximum reliability and range of BPL data connection is reached in combination with the si-
multaneously very high levels of suppression of interference signals via the EICHHOFF signal cou-
plers developed specifically for BPL.
The technical implementation of the data connection of individual subnets takes place
using what is known as bridging with a short RJ45 patch cable (see scope of delivery):
