IEC 62488-1 Ed. 2.0 en:2025

IEC 62488-1:2025, applies to the planning of analogue (APLC), digital (DPLC) and hybrid
analogue-digital (ADPLC) power line carrier communication systems operating over HV electric
power networks. The object of this document is to establish the planning of the services and
performance parameters for the operational requirements to transmit and receive data
efficiently and reliably.
Such analogue and digital power line carrier systems are used by the different electricity supply
industries and integrated into their communication infrastructure using common communication
technologies such as radio links, fibre optic and satellite networks.
