COMMUNICATION ADAPTOR FOR A LIGHT TRUNKING SYSTEM, LIGHT TRUNKING SYSTEM COMPRISING AT LEAST TWO SUCH COMMUNICATION ADAPTORS, AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING DATA OVER SUCH A LIGHT TRUNKING SYSTEM

摘要

The communication adaptor (1) comprises:- a housing configured to be inserted in a profiled track (12) of the light trunking system (11), the housing comprising outer walls,- electrical contacts arranged to be exposed onto at least one of the outer walls, the electrical contacts being configured to contact different electrical lines (14) arranged in the profiled track (12),- a Power Line Communication interface configured to receive and/or transmit PLC data, the PLC data being conveyed on one or more of the electrical lines (14),- an additional interface configured to receive and/or transmit non-PLC data, preferably IP protocol data, and- a data converter configured to convert i) PLC data from the Power Line Communication interface into non-PLC data for the additional interface, and/or ii) non-PLC data from the additional interface into PLC data for the Power Line Communication interface.
