AC power line communication

[gehan_s]

Hi all,

I am a third year EE student who has to do a final year project. I am thinking of doing a project on the above topic. The idea is to use power line communication to control devices (home or factory appliances) and for data acquisition.

The problem is I have no previous knowledge on this regard. Can someone help point me in the right direction and tell me where to start.

Thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

X-10 is a communication protocol designed for sending signals over AC wiring. X-10 uses 120 kHz bursts timed with the power line zero-crossings to represent digital information.
