Abstract
A conductor line for supplying electric energy to an electric load which can be moved along the conductor line, includes at least one conductor strand, which runs in the longitudinal direction and comprises an electrically conducting profiled conductor section for contacting a sliding contact of the load; and a current collector for supplying electric energy to the load. The current collector has at least one sliding contact for contacting an electrically conductive profiled conductor section of a conductor strand. A first optical transmission unit which runs in the longitudinal direction is arranged on the conductor line for contactlessly transmitting data to a second optical transmission unit which is moveable relative to the conductor line, and a second optical transmission unit which is moveable in the longitudinal direction relative to the conductor line is arranged on the current collector for contactlessly transmitting data to a first optical transmission unit.
