FOREWORD
1) ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) form
the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical
committees; any ISO and IEC member body interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this
preparatory work. International governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with ISO and IEC
also participate in this preparation.
2) In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to
national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the
national bodies casting a vote.
3) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC and ISO on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC and ISO member bodies.
4) IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted
by IEC and ISO member bodies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the
technical content of IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC Publications is accurate, IEC or ISO cannot be held responsible for
the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
5) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC and ISO member bodies undertake to apply IEC, ISO and
ISO/IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications.
Any divergence between any ISO/IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication should
be clearly indicated in the latter.
6) ISO and IEC provide no marking procedure to indicate their approval and cannot be rendered responsible for
any equipment declared to be in conformity with an ISO/IEC Publication.
7) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
8) No liability shall attach to IEC or ISO or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of their technical committees and IEC or ISO member bodies for any personal injury,
property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including
legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication of, use of, or reliance upon, this ISO/IEC publication or
any other IEC, ISO or ISO/IEC publications.
9) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
IEC and ISO draw attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this document may involve the use of
a patent concerning an efficient implementation of synchronization, see 5.1.8.7.
Busch-Jaeger has informed IEC and ISO that they have the granted patent EP 0856954.
IEC and ISO draw attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this document may involve the use of
a patent in case specific notch configurations are implemented.
Zumtobel has informed IEC and ISO that they have the granted patent DE 29701412.
ISO and IEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of these putative patent rights. The
holders of these putative patent rights have assured IEC and ISO that they are willing to negotiate free licences or
licences under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world. In this
respect, the statements of the holders of these putative patent rights are registered with IEC and ISO. Information

specifies the medium dependent functions, that is the mains characteristics and the
transmission technology in terms of the Physical Layer and the Data Link Layer, according to
ISO/IEC 7498.

4 Conformance
A device conforming to this International Standard shall support the physical medium as
specified in clause 5 or clause 7, and it shall provide transmission capability as specified in
clause 6.
5 Requirements for HES Class 1, PL110
5.1 Physical Layer PL110
5.1.1 General
This clause describes the physical layer characteristics of the PL110 powerline signalling which
operates in the frequency band (95 to 125) kHz band as described in EN 50065-1 and which
has a nominal centre frequency of 110 kHz.
The main characteristics of PL110 physical layer are:
• a spread frequency shift keying signalling;
• asynchronous transmission of data packets;
• symbols globally synchronised to the mains frequency;
• half duplex bi-directional communication.
Electrical wiring in the building/home shall be in compliance with the current national
regulations. Powerline communication is described in EN 50065-1.
The electric power distribution network normally determines the physical topology of the
powerline network. The structure of this network may be single phase or three phase. The
rated voltage between one phase and neutral shall be 110 V and 230 V, respectively. PL110
signals are injected between phase and neutral.
General requirements for the physical layer type PL110 are given in Table 1.

The logical structure of the physical layer PL110 entity is shown in Figure 1. Each PL110-
device includes one physical layer PL110 entity.
The PL110 entity shall consist of three blocks:
• connector;
• medium attachment unit (MAU);
• error correction.

5.1.2.1 Requirements for protection against electric shocks and connectors
The PL110 devices are connected to the mains installation network. The requirements for
protection against electric shocks for human beings (and animals) and connectors shall be
considered within the assembled device. They are not subject to the physical layer description.
These requirements are specified in the installation and equipment standards (safety
standards).
5.1.2.2 Powerline cables
The requirements for powerline cables are defined by the use as installation wires according to
national regulations. Normally, the type of cable, the connected loads and the topology of the
network is not known. In contrast to the theoretical values of typical cable characteristics, for
example as specified in IEC 60227-4 and IEC 60502-1, the impedance at one network access
point is determined more by the connected load than by the cabling.
Typical cables for fixed electrical installation are “thermoplastic-insulated and sheathed cable”,
“PC insulated flat cable, overall covering vulcanised rubber” or “sheathed metal-clad wiring
cable with PVC insulated cores sheet-zinc cover with additional PVC jacket”.

NOTE The use of shielded power cables and of cables with cross-sections greater than 35 mm can influence
PL110 signalling significantly!

5.1.3 Medium attachment unit (MAU)
The Medium Attachment Unit converts the frequency-coded signals into values representing
logical ones and zeroes and vice versa. In parallel, a power supply circuit may be connected to
the medium. Signal converter and power supply shall be independent from each other. The
power supply shall meet the requirements specified in Table 2.

mode impedance)

Compliance is checked by measurement.
The power supply of the MAU may be internal or external.
5.1.3.1 Signal encoding
A signal of 105,6 kHz for a period of 833,3 µs shall correspond to a logical 0, a signal of
115,2 kHz for a period of 833,3 µs to a logical 1. See Figure 2.

These NRZ signals are superimposed on the AC voltage of the mains at 50 Hz and 60 Hz,
respectively. The maximum amplitude of the signal shall be limited to 122 dBμV, measured
