Draft Product Brief Page 1 of 5 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 data-logging 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 18-channel 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. By taking advantage of its inherent 18 independent PLC channels and the additional 19th 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 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.

Product Brief Page 2 of 5 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. Figure'3-'“Star”-Shaped'Network' Figure'4'-'Hybrid'“Tree”'Structure' Features Besides being a 3-Phase PLC concentrator, the GC1338 also provides RS485 connections and a set of Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs. • RS485 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. Figure'5-'RS485)• Digital Inputs The GC1338 provides four groups of Digital Inputs, D1+ and D1-, D2+ and D2-, D3+ and D3-, D4+ and D4- as 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) Figure'6-'Digital'Inputs'of'GC1338'

Product Brief Page 3 of 5 • 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. Figure'7-'Analog'Inputs'of'GC1338' • 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 polarity-insensitive, 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). Figure'8-'Dry'Contact'Relay'Control' • 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.
