Software Test Programs
PLC Modem BER Test Program
This program enables testing of the Bit Error Rate versus Signal to Noise characteristics of the power line communication commands transmitted between wall control and electronic ballast prototypes based on the IDC2000 controllers. This test allows the measurement of the BER vs. S/N characteristics of both Power Line Communication (PLC) modem embedded in the IDC2000 device and the PLC front-end interfaces deployed in the wall control and the ballast working under all possible operating conditions.

Network Communication Test (Ping Program)
The PLC Network Test program is a service
tool for testing the reliability of the two way power line communication in a control system network comprising up to 255 customer-designed final product devices (addressable devices) per individual circuit based on the IDC2000 controllers. This ping program sends repeated commands from a control unit, such as a wall control, in a lighting circuit to an addressable device, like a ballast, connected at the longest distance in the circuit and records the acknowledgement signal retransmitted from this addressable device to the remote control in order to verify the correctness of the command received by the remote addressable device
