Abstract
A power line communication based monitoring system includes an alternating current (AC) power distribution bus, a data source (such as a sensor circuit), a system modulator/demodulator (modem), and a data converter. The sensor circuit is configured to sense a mechanical state of a component and to supply a modulated sensor signal representative of the mechanical state to the AC power distribution bus. The system modem is in operable communication with the AC power distribution bus and is coupled to receive the modulated sensor signal therefrom. The system modem is configured, upon receipt of the modulated sensor signal, to demodulate the modulated sensor signal and supply a demodulated sensor signal. The data converter is coupled to receive the demodulated sensor signal from the system modem and is configured to convert the demodulated sensor signal to digital data in a standard digital data communications protocol.
