Overview
Description
This product is an evaluation kit for DC-based power line communication for developing software and evaluating systems compatible with Renesas' PLC modem IC R9A06G061. This product is a complete evaluation platform comprising the analog front end and control MCU required for DC power line communication.
To evaluate PLC communication using this product, the PHY Performance Evaluation Tool: SimpleMAC GUI is required. Please download SimpleMAC graphical user interface (GUI) and User's Manual from the Downloads section of this page. (Two or more of this kit are necessary for evaluating PLC communication)

- RTK0EE0009D01001BJ - CPX4 DC-PLC Evaluation Kit M01D1
I purchased RTK0EE0009D01001BJ in order to communicate data using CPX4(R9A06G061).There is an RX651 MCU board(RTK0EE0011C01001BJ) to run RTK0EE0009D01001BJ , but there are no corresponding example programs or documents to set up CPX4(R9A06G061).Could someone please give me some help to solve my problem?
Sep 8, 2023 - CPX3 / CPX4 PLC ICs - Lack of support from Renesas
Hi, We have so far purchased 4 Renesas PLC evaluation boards including: 2 x RTK0EE0007D01001BJ CPX3 Evaluation Kit for DC under 48V (J80D1 with RX651+Audio circuit) 2 x RTK0EE0009D01001BJ CPX4 DC-PLC Evaluation Kit M01D1 Getting support to start with was rather slow, but now getting great support. Regards ...
Dec 5, 2023 - PLC CPX4 and Audio
Has anybody used the CPX4 for voice audio? We are looking at using the CPX4 in a fire panel phone system with up to 20 phones on a 1km loop. We purchased 2 Renesas CPX4 DC kits for testing with various cable types, and seems to operate over 2km of ...
