Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 13:
14. The power-line/communication system of claim 13 wherein the command-station comprises:
a command-station operator that receives input from a demodulator and applies output therefrom as input to a modulator;
wherein:
signal output from the modulator is applied as input to a transmitter, and an enable output from the modulator, is applied as input to the transmitter; and
one output from the transmitter is applied as input to one end of a transmitter protection resistor, and the other end of the transmitter protection resistor and the other output from the transmitter are connected in parallel to the power-line/communication bus;
wherein:
a receiver resistor and a Zener diode are connected in parallel to the power-line/communication bus and the receiver resistor is disposed across an input to a receiver amplifier;
output from the amplifier is applied as input to the demodulator; and
output from the demodulator is input to the operator.
