Technology PLC - Power Line Communication, Used in Monitoring Systems Online

Abstract

This paper is developing a system for monitoring, supervision and acquisition parameters using Power Line Communication technology. The system consists of a web microserver using the power grid for the transmission and reception of data through technology PLC (Power Line Communication), as a solution for remote monitoring of temperature parameters of a mini turbine bench. In this article were performed comparative tests between the PLC and LAN technology in two distinct environments: residential and industrial. The analysis of network behavior was conducted through a network analysis software, which were established parameters that represent network performance when sending and receiving data from the monitoring system. Data obtained from this study show satisfactory results of PLC technology in relation to LAN, confirming the possibility of using this technology as an alternative to online monitoring systems.
