Simple data bus over DC Power Wires

Paul W. · 2004-06-19T14:04:41+00:00

Hi Guys,I'm in the process of implementing some simple control nodes (justswitches) and looking for the simplest (cheapest) network protocol touse. To date, LIN bus seems to be the best candidate. I need verylow speed, high reliability and low off-board distance (a few up to10s of feet).Ideally, something that could be two wire with power and data combinedwould be ideal, so that the power could be distributed to power theslave nodes. LIN is good, but it requires a 4 wire (or 3 I suppose)interface.I looked at ASI (Acuator Sensor Interface), but not sure how practicalit is.Anything else on the radar screen?Paul
