(Formulated under the cognizance of the CTA R7.8 Modular Communication Interface for Energy Management Subcommittee.) Published by CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION 2018 Technology encourage manufacturers to build an MCI

11、interface into their products that can accept a simple communications module. Consumers and program managers are then free to select whatever communication solution works best for their particular environment. The concept is relatively straightforward. Utilizing the RS485 and Serial Peripheral Inter

12、face (SPI)1supported by most silicon chips today, the MCI protocol is capable of simply passing through standard protocols including Internet Protocol (IP), OpenADR, and SEP from the communications module to the enddevice. Network security is supported through the selected transport protocol, such a

13、s WiFi, ZigBee, HomePlug, ZWave, LonWorks, etc., in addition to network or application layer security. Communications messaging supported by this MCI standard supports direct load control, TOU, CPP, RTP, peak time rebates, all kinds of block rates, and a range of ancillary services. The functionalit

14、y of the removable modules can be tailored by utilities or other load managing entities to provide support for the unique needs in a given region or service territory, without impacting the enddevices. The CTA2045A Modular Communications Interface for Energy Management standard will enable a new gen

15、eration of “smart grid ready” products that limit risks and constraints of proprietary communications technologies and evolving standards. This approach simplifies Home Area Network (HAN) device and network interoperability, fosters program and product innovation, and opens DR programs to a broader

16、range of consumer products while respecting customer choice and a competitive market landscape. 1See http:/ and http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface_Bus ANSI/CTA2045A 2 2 Scope This standard specifies a modular communications interface (MCI) to facilitate communications with resid

17、ential devices for applications such as energy management. The MCI provides a standard interface for energy management signals and messages to reach devices. Such devices may include an energy management hub, an energy management controller, an energy management agent, a residential gateway, an ener

18、gy services interface, a sensor, a thermostat, an appliance, or other consumer products. The specific residential devices to use an MCI are not specified. For energy management, the choice depends on the system and the network topology. If a hub topology is chosen, the MCI may be located on the hub.

19、 The connection between the hub and end devices such as appliances is not specified. The MCI specifies a physical connection from a communication module to residential Smart Grid Devices and a communications protocol with OSI (Open System Interconnection) layer specifications including application l

20、ayer messaging. An optional translation function is specified for connection to another communications medium. Examples include power line carrier or radio (RF), depending on the home area network installed or the connection to an energy management system accessnetwork supplied by a service provider

21、. This second medium is outside the scope of this standard. The MCI also specifies a passthrough mechanism to allow for an alternate architecture in which the Smart Grid Device terminates the passedthrough protocol (e.g., SEP, OpenADR, etc.). CTA2045A details the mechanical, electrical, and logical

22、characteristics of a socket interface that allows communication devices (hereafter referredto as UCMs universal communication modules) to be separated from end devices (hereafter referredto as SGDs Smart Grid Devices). Although the potential applications of this technology are wideranging, it is int

23、ended at a minimum to provide a means by which residential products may be able to work with any load management system through user installable plugin communication modules. Figure 21 illustrates the general concept. Figure 21 Illustrations of the Modular Communications Concept on a controlled devi

24、ce (left) or Energy Management Console (right) ANSI/CTA2045A 3 CTA2045A identifies the physical and datalink characteristics of the interface, along with certain higherlayer and application layer elements as needed to assure interoperability over a broad range of device capabilities. In addition, it

25、 defines a mechanism through which network, transport and application layer messages (passthrough; defined in other standards) may be passed across the interface. The scope of this standard is limited to the socket interface between the UCM and the SGD. It does not address the technology or protocol

26、 associated with the communications system of which the UCM is part. The scope of this specification does not include safety related construction, performance, marking or instruction requirements. UCM products should additionally comply with applicable product safety standard(s). Examples of such st
