Abstract
A control unit () superimposes command signals on AC power passing on a power line or network (). A command unit () controls and powers an electrical load () such as a motor M. A command processor () receives radio frequency control signals at a first input () from an antenna () and a receiver/demodulator () and receives command signals from the power line at a second input () connected with a pulse shaping circuit (). In a first, normal operating mode, the command processor controls the electrical load in accordance with signals received at the radio frequency input. In a second, special mode initiated power line command signals, the command processor at least temporarily blocks the execution of commands received at the radio frequency input.
