OPU-1
UNIVERSAL POWER-LINE CARRIER SYSTEM TYPE OPU-1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION - Rev 7 (May 2019)
30/67
TPPU.00
This module contains the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) that
generates the encoded signals and implements the necessary
processing circuits for the reception of all the frequencies used.
It also has the software necessary for decision making in the
transmission and reception of commands, as well as software for
input/output management, link supervision and the carrying out of tests.
Two frequencies are assigned to each command signal, and a single
frequency is assigned to the guard signal.
It contains four command input and output circuits together with two
relays for signalling and/or alarm, configurable by the user.

Teleprotection terminal integrated in the digital band
When only working with a QAM digital channel (of 8 kHz or 16 kHz), the OPU-1 terminal
can be equipped with a specific analog teleprotection terminal using single tone or dual
tone that will be able to use the digital operation band to transmit teleprotection signals.
The guard signal is sent to the high-voltage line together with the QAM signal generated in
the OPU-1 terminal.
When a command needs to be transmitted, the guard signal is replaced by the
corresponding command signal (SINGLE TONE or DUAL TONE) and, in order to allow the
transmission of the command tone using all the power available, the transmission of the
QAM signal is interrupted for a pre-set period of time.
When the receiver detects the absence of the guard signal, the QAM signal generated by
the OPU-1 terminal is blocked, for a pre-set period of time, to allow command signal
detection.
Teleprotection system type ABIT-CDIT
The teleprotection terminal integrated in the digital band and using single tone is able to
transmit and receive up to three independent commands and in any combination or up to
four commands according to a certain logic
