Power line communication monitor

Abstract:

Various embodiments include a monitor terminal in a data center communicating with an access node in the data center via power line communication (PLC) protocol. The monitor terminal can track and manage power quality at a specific location in the data center. The monitor terminal can couple to a power line. The monitor terminal can power a measurement component and a PLC modem by electrical signals of the power line. The measurement component can measure a physical quantity of the electrical signals across the power line. The PLC modem can communicate a measurement message, indicating the measured physical quantity, across the power line to the access node.
