New Applications for PLC
The maturity of PLC technologies convinced some manufacturers to use PLC as the
transmission medium for applications that until then were not networked at all, or
available only over proprietary and expensive networks.
The fact that an increasing number of industrial devices have a network inter-
face makes it possible to build new types of networks allowing connection, in par-
ticular in boats, public spaces, and automobiles.
PLC in Industry
In the industrial world, the application constraints are more severe than in general
public or professional local area networks. Until now, these constraints have slowed
down PLC development, but the maturity of HomePlug and the initial feedback
from the deployments of PLC networks led to the ration consider of PLCs as a via
-
ble solution for connections between machines.
