What is power line communication?
It is a system for carrying data on a
conductor.
It uses the existing power lines to transmit
data from one device to another.
This makes power line communication one
of the best means for networking.
How power line communication
operates
It operates by impressing a modulated carrier
signal on the wiring system.
Data rates over a power line communication
system vary widely.

Some control networks in power line
communication
CEBUS
LonWorks
LnCP
HNCP
CEBUS
LAN network provides communication between
of control information and services among
devices.

LonWorks
LonWorks consist of all nodes that
communicate with one another over a variety of
communications media using LonTalk protocol,
a common message-based communications
protocol
LnCP
A peer-to-peer communication model is used in
this network.
it is a multi-master system
HNCP
This protocol provides standard message set of
devices.
has to be compact to enable the use of low-
bandwidth network media .
The range of devices applying this protocol
reaches all the electric machines that are
connected by PLC .
