SIG61 - Smart Slave for
DC-BUS Powerline Network
This information is preliminary and may be changed without notice
1 GENERAL
The SIG61 is an independent slave in a DC-BUS Powerline communication network controlled by a
SIG60 master device. The SIG61 has 4 identification (ID) pins, used to set the device address, 8 input
pins and 8 output pins. The master can access any SIG61 device independently by using the proper
device address. Data received from a remote SIG60 Master device is reflected to its output pins. The
Master device can read the SIG61 input pins remotely. Its small footprint integrates most of the
components needed for proper operation allowing small-size control solutions.
The SIG61 is an economical slave device for applications such as controlling motors, reading sensors
etc., eliminating the need for dedicated control wires and a host controller for its operation. It helps
reducing the harness size and increase reliability. The SIG61 has a sleep mode that enables power
saving; special Wakeup messages on the DC line are used to signal the sleeping devices to return to
normal operation mode.
The SIG61 is useful for a wide range of Automotive, Avionics and Industrial applications such as sensor
reading, actuator activation, doors, seats, mirrors, climate control, lights, Truck-Trailer, etc.
