This Technical Specification specifies the characteristics of the profile related to Physical and Data Link Layers for communications on LV distribution network between a Concentrator (master node) and one or more slave nodes.
The following prescriptions are applied to groups of devices that communicate using low voltage network. Each section of the network is composed by one Concentrator (acting as the master of the section), and one or more primary nodes (A-Nodes).

4 Overview
4.1 Communication characterization on LV network
The Physical Layer configuration on LV network is considered as a multi-point connection of nodes
operating in half-duplex mode. So, access rules are required in order to avoid nodes transmission
collisions.
Furthermore, it has to be considered that LV network cannot be treated as a normal broadcast
medium, because standing-waves phenomena and most of all signal attenuation may make direct
communication between couple of nodes impossible.

CLC/TS 50568-4:2015 - 10 -
In order to obtain a virtually direct communication, between any couple of nodes, the protocol
functionalities shall foresee the repetition technique. Figure 2 shows the reference scheme of a LV
line portion, which is identified as communication section. A LV network controlled by a Concentrator
is composed by a set of branch-connected sections of this kind:
Figure 2 – Communication section in a LV line
where:
– information exchanging is required either between Concentrator and any node, or between an A-
Node and the associated B-Node;
– message transferring shall always happen on the A-Node electric connection phase. In case of
polyphase meter, communication shall always happen through one of the three phases, the same
one for all communications;
– each A-Node and B-Node has its own unique address.
There are the following two types of sub-nets. Each one is unbalanced (the initiation of transmission
procedure is limited to a master or a sub-net master station), with one or more slave nodes.
A sub-net
Figure 3 – A sub-net
Within A sub-net, communications between Concentrator (master station for this sub-net) and any
node (slave), with single or group addressing, are defined. This sub-net can use repetition.

B sub-net
Figure 4 – B sub-net
Within B sub-net, communications between A-Node (master station for this sub-net) and the
associated B-Node (slave) are defined. This sub-net does not foresee repetition.
The profile of protocols to be used has to reach the following objectives:
– to satisfy application requirements in terms of efficiency and effectiveness;
– to reduce data amount to supply to equipment during network configuration stage as much as
possible;
– to make efficient use of the channel;
– to support all the group addressing performances, according with what is required by
applications, also in presence of a network with repetitions.
4.2 Communication architecture
4.2.1 Overview
This document describes a lower layer profile that includes the Logical Link Control, the Medium
Access Control and the Physical Layers.
The repetition functionality is inserted in the MAC sub-layer, in order to guarantee to LLC sub-layer
the direct exchange between Concentrator master node and each of the slave nodes.
4.2.2 LLC sub-layer
LLC sub-layer interfaces the Upper Layers on the upper side and the MAC sub-layer on the lower
side. It is required to support the following functions:
– it is responsible about the execution of end-to-end exchange procedures to guarantee a correct
access procedure that avoids any possible collision on the network (in any moment a single node
can ask a transmission request on MAC level); it manages access times to the LV communication
on the master node;
– it operates end-to-end between master nodes and all the slave nodes; it offers a connectionless-
type service to equipment applications, according with the kind of exchange procedure required;
– in master nodes, it indicates to Upper Layer the network availability; the transmission of another
message can be requested, upon reception of this indication;
– in master nodes, it manages re-transmissions (retry) on exchanges with expected answer.
The mechanisms to provide the above listed features are left to the implementers of the Master node
without any limitation on interoperability.
LLC sub-layer does not check the correctness of the used disciplines (see 4.4); it’s up to the upper
layer to select it properly.
4.2.3 MAC sub-layer
In this sub-layer, the repetition functionalities (MACre) are distinguished from the physical interfacing
functionalities (MACph).
