Power-Line Communication: Non-Intrusive Instrumentation Networking (Briefing charts)

Abstract

We are in the process of designing a data over power-lines solution with the hopes of providing Ethernet connectivity over existing aircraft power lines or any spare wires already installed. Our plan is to build a matched pair of boxes that will act as bridges to connect two spatially separate Ethernet nets to each other over production aircraft wiring. These bridges will give us an easy way to connect remote smart transducers, DAUs or recorders located in hard to reach places, like wings or engines, with minimal to no wire runs. Tying into production power, and using the PLC connection for programming, control and data transfers as well as downstream system power on/off control will shorten the modification installation time, which will reduce aircraft down time and modification cost.
