Patent Number: 10079506 
Title: System and Method for Distribution of Electrical Power and Control Data in Temporary Lighting Installations 
Abstract:

An AC circuit PLC injection module of a PLC-enabled power and data distribution system (300) includes: an AC power input (307) to receive an AC power signal; a PLC transceiver circuit (430/440) to couple a PLC signal onto the AC power signal; an AC circuit (411) to supply the AC power and the PLC signal; and a PLC blocking line filter (450) to filter the PLC signal from passing to the AC power input. An associated method for a system having plural PLC transmitters connected to plural PLC enabled devices via plural AC circuits each associated with one of the PLC transmitters, includes: setting PLC network IDs for each of the PLC enabled devices to a default PLC network ID, and then assigning each of the PLC enabled devices connected to each of the PLC transmitters to a PLC network ID uniquely assigned that PLC transmitter.
