Once the board is supplied, LEDs will show activity. The PL360G55CF-EK board is delivered with a preprogrammed application in SAMG55 Flash memory: the G3-PLC PHY Tester for CENELEC A-Band. PLC communications are developed for CENELEC A-Band in AC or DC voltage grid.

The kit includes a USB 2.0 type A to Micro-B cable that can be used to connect the board to a computer. Connect a suitable cable in the PLC connector (J1) and plug it to an AC/DC voltage grid to communicate.

By means of the PLC PHY Tester PC application, it is possible to send and receive PLC messages using the G3 PHY layer in the CENELEC A-Band according to the binary flashed in PL360G55CF-EK board.
