Abstract

The invention relates to a system for the data transmission of digital transmission data (17, 18) between a first digital protective device (1) and a second digital protective device (9) on a section (A) of an energy supply line (2) in a transmission direction (15) and in a reception direction (16). The first digital protective device (1) is connected to an end (6) of an electrical data transmission line (7) via a first coupling device (5). The second digital protective device (9) is connected to the other end (12) of the electrical data transmission line (7) via a second coupling device (11). In order to establish data transmission with little complication, the data transmission line (7) is one-paired, and both coupling devices (5, 11) are adapted to enable transmission of digital transmission data in the transmission and reception direction (15 or 16) on the one-paired data transmission line (7) in the manner of a digital telecommunication transmission. The invention further relates to a method for transmitting data.

Claims

1. An arrangement for the data transmission of digital transmission data between a first digital protective device and a second digital protective device on a section of a power supply line in a transmission direction and in a reception direction, the first digital protective device being connected to one end of an electrical single-pair data transmission line via a first interconnect device, and the second digital protective device being connected to another end of the electrical single-pair data transmission line via a second interconnect device, wherein

for enabling the data transmission of digital transmission data in the transmission and reception directions, the interconnect devices each contain an ISDN module with an IOM2 interface and an output interface, the IOM2 interface being connected to a respective digital protective device, and the output interface being connected to the single pair data transmission line, and wherein

the digital transmission data is transmitted between the interconnect devices in a manner of digital telecommunication data being transmitted in a digital telecommunication network between a digital network terminating device on a digital subscriber terminal and a digital line terminating device in a digital switching center.

2. The arrangement of claim 1, wherein each interconnect device comprises means for separating the transmission data sent in the transmission direction from the transmission data transmitted in the reception direction, means for echo cancellation of transmission data echoes arising on the data transmission line, and means for scrambling the digital transmission data to be transmitted.

3. The arrangement of claim 1, wherein the interconnect devices comprise means for data reduction for the digital transmission data to be transmitted.

4. The arrangement of claim 2, wherein the means for echo cancellation have an adaptive transverse filter.

5. The arrangement of claim 1, wherein the interconnect devices each have a U interface to which the single-pair data transmission line is connected.

6. The arrangement of claim 1, wherein the digital protective devices are each connected directly to the respective IOM2 interface.

7. The arrangement of claim 1, wherein the single-pair data transmission line is provided in parallel with the section of the power supply line.

8. A method for transmitting transmission data in a transmission direction and a reception direction between a first digital protective device and a second digital protective device which are arranged apart from one another and on a section of a power supply line and which are connected via a first interconnect device and a second interconnect device respectively to respective ends of a single-pair data transmission line,

wherein, for enabling the data transmission of digital transmission data in the transmission and reception directions, the interconnect devices each contain an ISDN module with an IOM2 interface and an output interface, the IOM2 interface being connected to respective digital protective device, and the output interface being connected to the single pair data transmission line, and wherein

the digital transmission data is transmitted between the interconnect devices in a manner of digital telecommunication data being transmitted in a digital telecommunication network between a digital network terminating device on a digital subscriber terminal and a digital line terminating device in a digital switching center.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the data transmission between the two interconnect devices involves a time-division method being carried out in order to separate the transmission direction from the reception direction.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the data transmission between the two interconnect devices involves the transmission direction being separated from the reception direction in each of the interconnect devices on the basis of the echo cancellation method, a scrambling method being carried out to produce the statistical independence of the transmission data to be transmitted in the transmission direction with respect to the transmission data transmitting in the reception direction.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein a coding/decoding method is carried out data transmission for the purpose of data reduction.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the coding/decoding method used is the 2B/1 Q method or the 4B/3T method.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein

the transmission method used is an ISDN data transmission method using at least one user channel.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the protective device data to be transmitted between the first digital protective device and the second digital protective device are transmitted as user data in the user channel.
