The QULON Simpline is an add-on module for the remote control of devices equipped with PLC (Power Line Communication) technology, providing seamless integration with modern lighting and power systems. It enables precise individual control of luminaires and other PLC-equipped devices while facilitating data collection and transmission over existing power lines. Communication with cabinet controllers is established through an RS-485 (MODBUS) interface, allowing centralized management and monitoring within the broader QULON system.
The unit is powered by standard AC mains voltage ranging from 100 to 250 V, with stable operation maintained up to 305 V. Configuration and remote management of the module are performed through QULON software via the cabinet controllers, ensuring streamlined setup and real-time operational control. The Simpline module functions as a PLC modem, supporting synchronous transmission across three phases and compliance with CENELEC EN 50065-1 (C) standards, which guarantees reliable communication over power lines while minimizing interference.
Mechanically, the QULON Simpline is housed in a durable aluminum DIN-mounted case with laser-engraved identification, measuring 142 mm in length, 74.5 mm in height, and 105 mm in width, with a total weight of 0.85 kg. The module is designed for installation on an 8-module DIN rail within a power supply cabinet, ensuring compact and secure mounting. Its metal and plastic construction provides durability, while the IP20 rating protects against dust ingress, making it suitable for indoor cabinet environments.
The unit supports one to three control phases and has a maximum power consumption of 5 W, protected by a 0.5 A mains fuse. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40 to +70°C and can be stored safely at -50 to +80°C, with relative humidity tolerance up to 95%. Communication interfaces include RS-485 and PLC, with RS-485 lines supporting lengths up to 1500 meters. PLC communication complies with the CENELEC EN 50065-1 standard (band C), enabling robust and synchronous control of connected nodes. Terminal block connectors (2EDGVС and 15EDGVС) facilitate secure wiring and connection to devices.
Status and operational indicators are provided via LEDs and RS-485 activity lights, allowing easy monitoring of communication and system performance. With remote software update capability, QULON Simpline ensures long-term adaptability and compatibility with evolving PLC technologies. Certified to CE and RoHS standards and backed by a 36-month warranty, the Simpline module delivers reliable, scalable, and precise PLC-based control for lighting and other networked devices, integrating seamlessly into modern smart lighting and building management systems.
