Claim:
1. A method for identifying at least one electrically powered device by a power supply device via a powerline connection, the method comprising: the steps of a) connecting the at least one electrically powered device via a powerline connection to a core power supply of the power supply device; b) sensing that the powerline connection is available by the at least one electrically powered device; c) generating a specific load by modulation of the power according to a unique identifier of the at least one electrically powered device on the powerline connection, the at least one electrically powered device being switched on for regular operation only after a complete transmission of the unique identifier; d) sensing the generated specific load by the power supply device connected to the powerline connection; and e) extracting the unique identifier information from the specific load by the power supply device; and h) measuring at least one specific characteristic of the at least one electrically powered device using the unique identifier information of the at least one electrically powered device.
