Abstract
An AC circuit PLC injection module of a PLC-enabled power and data distribution system () includes: an AC power input () to receive an AC power signal; a PLC transceiver circuit () to couple a PLC signal onto the AC power signal; an AC circuit () to supply the AC power and the PLC signal; and a PLC blocking line filter () to filter the PLC signal from passing to the AC power input. An associated method for a system having plural PLC transmitters connected to plural PLC enabled devices via plural AC circuits each associated with one of the PLC transmitters, includes: setting PLC network IDs for each of the PLC enabled devices to a default PLC network ID, and then assigning each of the PLC enabled devices connected to each of the PLC transmitters to a PLC network ID uniquely assigned that PLC transmitter.
