Driven by the trends towards digitalization and automation many system components in airplanes, trains, vehicles, etc. require both power and data connections for monitoring and control functions. This leads to large quantities of cables and connectors, combined with high complexity, high susceptibility to faults and high maintenance costs.

Power Line Communications (PLC) enables high-speed data communications over a power distribution network eliminating the need for a separate data network with additional wires, connectors, fixations, etc.

The Power Line data bUS (PLUS) is a PLC technology specifically targeting safety critical systems with strict real-time and reliability requirements.

plc-tec AG develops and markets PLUS products and IP-cores to customers looking to unlock the significant potential of a real-time and reliable PLC technology. The integration of PLUS products into their systems enables system providers to gain competitive advantages for their systems reg.
