3-Phase DIN Rail Master Light Controller
Product Brief
3-Phase DIN RAIL OFDMA Master Light Controller- GC1338
Figure 1- GC1338 3-phase DIN Rail Master Light Controller
Overview
The gridComm GC1338 is a 3-Phase DIN Rail Hybrid
Power Line Communication (PLC)- Radio Frequency
(RF) Master Light Controller designed for Street Light
Control operations. The gridComm Master Light
Controller (MLC) serves as a powerful concentrator and
gateway connecting a network of streetlights to the
cloud-based Street Light Management Software,
controlling and monitoring the operations of turning
on/off, dimming, scheduling, alarm events and datalogging functions of an individual light or a group of street
lights.
The 3-phase DIN Rail Master Light Controller utilizes the
industry-leading gridComm GC2200 IC chip, an 18channel OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiple
Access)
Power
Line
Communication
Transceiver. The 18 PLC channels are capable of
operating over a wide frequency range from 5KHz to
500KHz on the power lines whilst the 19th RF channel
operates on industrial-strength ISM frequency bands.
to an external anti-tamper or overload sensor for fail-safe
measures and motion sensors or other sensors based on
trigger events such as movements, light or sound. The
MLC is also equipped with Analog I/Os for analog signal
acquisitions from sensors such as temperature sensors,
humidity sensors, etc for further processing. In addition,
there is an on-board 4GB internal memory for storage of
historical data. The connectivity TCP link with the
backend Street Light Management Software (SLMS) is
enabled via the built-in 3G modem. The GC1338 can
automatically perform node discovery and establish
suitable repeaters to set up a robust routing network
based on a set of complex algorithms.
Figure 2 illustrates the implementation of a Smart Street
Lighting Sensor Network System using the GC1338 in
conjunction with gridComm’s Digital Power Supply (DPS)
and Street Lights Management Software.
By taking advantage of its inherent 18 independent PLC
th
channels and the additional 19 RF channel, the
GC1338 can communicate over PLC and RF
concurrently. This brings upon the benefits of operating
in a single unified communication network using
common communication protocol, command sets and ID
addressing scheme.
With its sub-GHz RF option capability, the MLC can
communicate with plug-and-play RF battery-operated
IoT sensor nodes, such as environmental, light, pollution,
flood and proximity sensors, or any hybrid nodes which
leverage on GC-Net networking firmware using power
line network as the backbone network infrastructure. The
MLC also integrates Digital I/Os that could be connected

Auto Network Applications
The GC1338/1338 is optimized for network topologies
such as star or tree configurations. Figure 3 shows a
simple hybrid PLC-RF network system implemented
with GC1338 connected with four modems installed in a
“Star” configuration. Figure 4 shows a hybrid “Tree”
network (PLC/ wireless modes) with GC1338.
The RS485 connection provides an easy way to
interface the Master Light Controller with a laptop or
PC for configurations or debugging. The RS485 can
also be extended to connect with any RS485 device
(eg. RS485-Ethernet or RS485 sensors) to enable a
feature or function.

Digital Inputs
The GC1338 provides four groups of Digital Inputs,
D1+ and D1-, D2+ and D2-, D3+ and D3-, D4+ and D4as in Figure 6. These are a pair of optically isolated,
polarity-sensitive digital inputs that you can use to
monitor switch and sensor devices. D+, D- and a
24VDC Out can be used in conjunction with a sensor
with FET or BIPOLAR output for active devices. The
24VDC Out supplies a DC 24V@350mA for the sensor
while D+ and D- are connected to the sensor output of
the FET or BIPOLAR transistors. These Digital Inputs
can be configured to enable an event to be triggered
based on the conditions set. (Please contact
gridComm, for future use only)

Features
Besides being a 3-Phase PLC concentrator, the
GC1338 also provides RS485 connections and a set of
Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs.

•
Analog Inputs
A1 and A2 are terminals for analog signals input.
These terminals can be used for analog signals
acquired from sensors such as temperature sensors,
humidity sensors, etc for further processing. The
reference for A1 and A2 is GND. Figure 7 shows an
Analog input implementation.
•
4GB On-Board Extended Flash Memory
The 4GB on-board extended flash memory (optional)
is important for storage of historical data such as
power consumption, device life time, alerts and
alarms. This historical data parameters can then be
easily retrieved by the system should there be a
failure with the TCP link or the server.
•
GSM/3G TCP Link
The device is built in with a GSM/GPRS module to
enable the TCP link connectivity with the server
operating the Street Light Management Software.

Relays
RELAY 1, RELAY 2 and RELAY 3 are three pairs of
high-voltage, high-current, single pole single throw
(SPST) relay outputs rated at 240VAC@10A or 24V
DC@10A. The SPST relay contacts are polarityinsensitive, and they can be used to switch both AC
and DC loads. It can be used to perform on/off controls
on loads such as motors and lamps etc. as in Figure 8.
It can be configured to open the dry contacts based on
a schedule and/or when a combination of input
conditions occur, thus cutting off the power supply to
the load.. (Please contact gridComm, for future use
only).
