Abstract

The paper presents a cost-effective power line communication system based on the use of the PowerBus technology. The system employs a dedicated control networking originally intended by the manufacturer for merely electrical control purposes. In addition to the controlling functions the system provides textual and data transmission capabilities. The tailor-made software (PowerBus Messenger with Control) has been developed and implemented in the system.
