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® Cortex®-M4
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.

2. Power-up PL360G55CF-EK board #1 connecting it to a PC using the included micro USB cable
3. Launch the PHY Tester PC Tool, select the serial COM port assigned to board #1 and 230400bps
for the baud rate
4. Follow on-screen instructions to configure a Tx test
5. Power-up PL360G55CF-EK board #2 connecting it to a PC using the included micro USB cable
6. Launch the PHY Tester PC Tool, select the serial COM port assigned to board #2 and 230400bps
for the baud rate
7. Follow on-screen instructions to configure an Rx test
8. Start Rx test in PL360G55CF-EK board #2
9. Start Tx test in PL360G55CF-EK board #1
10. Transmitted frames from board #1 are received in board #2
For more information about usage and configuration of the PLC PHY Tester Tool, please check the user
manual embedded in the tool: Help tab > User Manual.
Navigating the Kit
Important: In order to explore all the features of this kit, please check the firmware user
guides provided with the online contents of the EK.
Online Resources
PL360G55CF-EK is complemented with a set of online resources. To access these resources, please
follow the procedure described in the welcome letter. These online resources include:
• Board schematics, PCB layout and Bill of Materials
• Last version of supported firmware stacks for Power Line Communications
• Set of PC tools to evaluate the performance of Microchip PLC solutions
Firmware Projects
PL360G55CF-EK currently supports G3-PLC and PRIME protocols. Each firmware stack includes several
projects and examples of use. For more information about the firmware projects and how to build and
debug the different examples, please read the corresponding documentation provided with the online
contents of the kit:
•G3-PLC Firmware Stack
•PRIME 1.3 FW Stack for Service Nodes and PRIME 1.3 FW Stack for Base Nodes
•PRIME 1.4 FW Stack for Service Nodes and PRIME 1.4 FW Stack for Base Nodes
Tools
Some of the projects included in the firmware releases require an external PC application:
• G3-PLC/PRIME Manager PC Tool: enables users to easily interface with the top layer of the provided
PLC stacks
• PHY Tester Tool: provides complete access to PHY layer configuration and utilization. Excellent tool
for point-to-point tests
• PHY Sniffer: captures, analyzes and displays PLC traffic. Excellent tool for network supervision and
debugging

Microchip Devices Code Protection Feature
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the
market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.
• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of
these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the
operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is
engaged in theft of intellectual property.
• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.

• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their
code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the
code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a
violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software
or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
