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 .
